He Has Done All Things Well


And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. Mark 7:37


We are at that season of the year again where you are forced to take stock of your life, and all that has played out over the year. You may reflect over your goals for the year or your goals for some years past now, to see how far you have truly come in your life journey. You may also be reflecting over some particular desire of your heart, and how long you have been waiting on God to bring that desire to pass. 


As you make this reflection, you may find yourself in a place of gratitude, because you have experienced so much of God’s blessing. Some other person may find themself in the place where they are in doubt of God’s love or if God really hears and answers, because some of those pressing desires are still not met.


Regardless of what position you are, you need to just take a deep breath, and say to yourself He has done all things well. He has done all things well means that as long as you are still on this part of eternity, you still have the opportunity to see those desires come to pass. It may even be that with every passing year, it seems more difficult or impossible for those desires to come to pass, simply rest in the truth that God does all things well.


Don’t feel disappointed in yourself or in God, rather keep an attitude of gratitude, God always has a way of working things out for your good in His own way, not in the way you may have expected, and not necessarily in the way you have heard others testify about Him. Sometimes it is the testimonies we hear that were meant to encourage us, that the devil tries to use to intimidate us or shame us, never give in to that old trick of the devil. Don’t let the testimonies of others look as though God has forgotten you or His power is absent in your life. Nothing can be farther from the truth than that. That God has done all things well does not in any way mean that everything is perfect for you, but that you can see that except God has been your help, there was never a chance of coming this far, and ever making it to your desired goals.


I urge you to use this season as a time of thanksgiving, again not because things are perfect, but because you know God is faithful, and He is the only one who can really make things perfect. Also, be encouraged to use this season to celebrate with others, take the focus off yourself and your needs. If you cannot find something to thank God for in your own life, look for someone who has, and join them in thanking God. It won’t be long till we all have to gather to rejoice with you also.


Wishing you God’s love this season as always.


Merry Christmas!!!

    Thanks for the message. I am encouraged. Sometimes I wonder why some of prayers are not being answered...but when I see the ones that are answered I know God is still at work.

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...
