SINKING HOPE

-

In the depth of your heart, you wish the current situation you are in change immediately for good. You are going through so much than words can explain. Your prayers seem to have no answer. You have called on God and you are still doing so. May be you are even tired and you are so off the thing called prayer. It seems your situation was a sickly one when you started calling God to come through for you. He didn't come. You have zero your hope on him and it seems a voice taunt you on the inside for doing so. You hear stuff like you claimed to have pinned your hope on him but now your hope is a sick hope. Its dying. The situation indeed seems to be going to worse scenario. It seems the condition is becoming bad. You never cease to hope on him even though answers is not forth coming. Young man, don't be weary. All things will bring out his glory in refined form in your life. Lazarus was sick to the point of death. Jesus was called upon to come to the aid of the family. Well, that was prayers was then. Call Jesus into the case. Ask him for the help he only can give. Jesus delayed. Their hope died. Their hope was lost. Jesus still did not show up. He  had healed the sick before. He is capable of doing so again. He had raised the dead. He can definitely do it again. Those may have been the thoughts on Mary and Marta' hearts. Yet, Jesus didn't come until he was buried and began to stinking. They had lost all hope. Yours may be so young man. Don't give up. Don't ever give up on Jesus. He can do and undo. He can make alive and can also take away the live. He has all things under his control. Jesus came and did what only him can. He raised Lazarus that was already stinking back to live. It was a stinking hope: hope not consider hope at all. You see, God will turn things around for you. Just be encouraged to hold on to him. I am sure it is tough and all around you doesn't support the goodness of God in what you can see. The reality is beyond your sight. The reality is what the eyes of faith can see. It is embedded in the truth of God's program for you. It may be a stinking hope, keep at it. Your story will change and everybody will come to know and serve your God who can do the impossible.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

FRIENDS

-
The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

TRUST GOD EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

-
Young man, I am glad to pen some issues on your current challenges to you today. You may be currently in the worst state you could ever be. Let me tell you not to shift your attention away from God. Stay with him. Learn to trust God in all you do. Hold firmly to the truth of his word that he never fails. Even when it does not make sense, trust him harder. Even when it does not match your physical senses and the road seems blocked, trust him better. Trust God if it is senseless. Trust God if it's locked and it can't be opened by men. Trust God is it's dead and no hope of life. Trust God if it's broken and can't be fixed by men. Trust God when all road seems to be locked down. Trust God when the doctors says it can't be fixed medically. Trust God when no man is there to lift you. Trust God when you are in the afternoon or evening of your life here and you look like an under achiever. God is never going to be late on your case. He is never going to fail you. He is
