Don’t cast away your confidence

As humans, we are somewhat constrained to put our life goals within the context of time. The implication of this is that while we work within the context of time, we fail to consider that our God operates in the realm of timelessness. It means that we have deadlines according to time perspective, but really God has no deadlines. He can show up on the scene at whatever time He so pleases and He did still be right on time. When we begin to factor in this fact that God dwells in timelessness, we could be a little more at ease with some goals or expectations that we affix with strict deadlines.

We are already in the twilight of the year, and you may already be feeling uneasy or probably disappointed that God has let you down in some way because some of the things you were expecting and had faith for haven’t yet come to pass. The disappointment could be more, particularly when some of those expectations are heavily time bound, like the expectation to give birth to a child or to get married within the year, which is now looking practically impossible. So the fact remains that there is always that feeling of disappointment that comes with not having your goals or expectations met, most especially when they are time bound. But the scriptures already gave us a word not to cast away our confidence which has a great recompense of reward. (Heb. 9:11)

Don’t let what hasn’t happened for you yet to make you feel like nothing is working in your life, and then to cast away your confidence. Be rest assured that if you are in faith concerning that goal or that expectation, it will come to pass. One thing though is that it may not happen in the exact way that you have figured out, but God will certainly bring it to pass.

For some other people, it may not even be about an expectation that hasn’t yet come to pass, it could be a business gone bad, it could be a bad decision that seem to have set you back or cost so much loss. Well, such nasty experiences are not uncommon, even to notable characters in the bible, but because they did not cast away their confidence in God, they eventually bounced back. I am glad to announce to you that if you also will refuse to give, but hold on strongly to your faith in spite of the set back, you will bounce back big time.

So wherever you are today, whatever may be the situation, don’t cast away your confidence in God and don’t feel disappointed. He is still very much God, He loves you, He wants the best for you, and He will come through for you. He is not bounded by time and so He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Cheer up and don’t give up!

Find Your Place and Stay There

Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who wanders from his place. Prov.27:8 (NIV) One of the greatest advantages you can have in life is to find your place early and stay there. The challenges of life come to us all, but you may just find it so overwhelming when you are not in your place, as compared to the person who has found their place. I am sure that you have come across one or two persons in life who excel and have an utter sense of fulfilment in what they do in life. It doesn’t have to be really big sometimes, but you can tell that they are in their place, where they should actually be. You may also have come across some persons whom you will consider clear misfits where they are, and in what they do. The latter set of people are most likely not to be prospering as they should, or I should say, they have potential to prosper more, if they find their place and stay there. The same is true about your life. Sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you ar...

Two Things to Avoid to be Prosperous

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Prov.18:9 (KJV) In my last piece, I talked about the importance of finding your place, and staying there to command God’s Blessing. I emphasized the importance of staying power in whatever God has called you to do or committed to your hands. In this piece, I will seek to drive the conversation further, talking about two wrong attitudes that will greatly hinder the Blessing of God from finding expression in your life. Our text says the slothful is brother to a great waster, this is a very dangerous company indeed, and always a disaster waiting to happen. These two characters can never prosper and attain God’s highest Blessing. You may be working hard and making mistakes, but you must keep at it because, the man who tries and make mistakes will command the Blessing far more than the man who is slothful. God hates laziness! Laziness can disguise in many ways; a person can be spiritually lazy, and that...

Updated: Don’t Bind the Brook, Don’t Rebuke the Ravens - Simple Lesson in Obedience

  Over the years I have come to understand the place of simple obedience to the instructions of God, and the huge difference it could make in one’s life. I have also come to see how easy believers can be in disobedience, yet be able to cover up with some form of spiritual activity, then in the end attempt to pass on the responsibility for their failures on God.   This can possibly account for one of the biggest reasons why there are believers who seem not to be making progress in life in spite of their seeming spirituality. The situation is even more compounded when older believers who should set the example for younger believers fall into this group. The implication is that there will be a generation of young believers who cannot seem to find the proper alignment between the Christian faith and being productive in life.   The story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, clearly illustrates my point.  The Word of the Lord had come to the prophet to camp by the bro...
