Trusting God through every season, prayer, and the daily walk of worship.
Failure to relate things is the reason why the majority of the people will remain stuck in their misfortune. Many are unable to relate their lack of a budget to the fact that money gets finished before essential items are addressed. Most people are unable to see the place of peace of mind found in worship and the management of regular stress in their lives. If you can’t see the relationship, you will remain stranded.
Lack of knowledge is a major problem facing us today. We think we know but Jesus says, they do not know what they are doing. We speak in confidence, but Jesus says if only you knew…. We fight because we do not know that God can fight for us. We revenge because we do not know that God has promised revenge. We steal and take things by force because we do not know that God can give them for free and even something much better. We worry because we do not know that God has good plans for us and He is never too late. If only we knew…
Has the word of God offended you? Are you angry at what has been preached, taught, and said? Ask yourself if anger can change the truth. When anger changes nothing, change that anger into acceptance of the truth!
May God grant us wisdom to know which threats to confront and which ones to withdraw from, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
In our daily struggles, we too need to succeed. We need success in our studies. We need success in our spiritual life. We need success in our employment and business. We need success in our health. We need success in all that we do. The formulas that fail are those that entail might and power. The only formula of tested success is when the Holy Spirit operates in us.
The third lesson is that lack of glory doesn’t mean it’s over for you. The glory that is much better can and will come your way. The present temple had nothing attractive. Haggai promises that the present may be discouraging, but the future is certain and powerful!
God will act. God will act in our time. God will act in a manner that will be beyond satisfactory. No one will believe what God will do. Are you among the wicked or among the righteous? Prepare yourself for God has promised to act. God will punish the wicked who will not have repented. God will reward and comfort the righteous who would have suffered immensely. Let the wicked change their ways today. Let the suffering righteous persevere. God will act is the message today.
Only the friends of God have a safe and bright future. Enemies of God may not see it now, but there is serious trouble ahead for them. The trouble they can’t handle. The trouble that may destroy them forever. I pray that I may always be a friend of God that He cares for and protects and prospers, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
For now, there is a shame. For now, there is an embarrassment. For now, we wonder where to hide as we can’t handle what has happened to us. The good news is that it is only, for now!
