Oh man, I've said I'm going to post in few days time but now it's like over a week! My apologies man. Been quite busy. Do pray for me alright?
Okay, since I've not posted a message for long, I'll post something very simple. Message for today is <Why does Christians still have ups and downs?>
Classic question asked by a lot of non- Christians. They will think, why would i sacrifice my time to go to church and in the end, I still have ups and downs?
Here's the answer.
Having ups and downs basically is just the process of life! What we are going through right now is just a small part of us but after we die, the eternal place, be it heaven or hell, is the main thing. So now we're living in a test of life! The ups and downs are tests from God and how do you respond and change the situation will determine the treasure in hell or heaven or maybe even where you spend your eternal life! So ups and downs are just a test from God.
Secondly, ups and downs were also stepping stone from God! It moulds our character too for us to handle any bigger problems in future.
Thirdly, ups and downs might be from the devil trying to destroy you, pull you away from God!
So, I had my 3 reasons for ups and downs, I'll supply 3 reasons for us to accept Christ though.
Firstly, accepting Christ is the MAIN thing to go to heaven! If you are performing very well but at the end of the day, you still don't believe Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior, you will still not go to heaven!
Secondly, we will even have more than enough to even help people overcome their problems! Logically, to be a blessing, you have to be blessed so with the blood of Jesus, we will be bless so we can be a blessing to others!
Lastly, if we have Christ in us, we will be able to overcome problems easier as we are not alone facing the problem but we have the almighty! We will have the wisdom, anointment, strength and blessing of God to help us to solve problems! Heard of the story of footprints? I remembered posting it way before but I'll give a brief summary.
One day, a man dream of walking down the seashore with God and the man saw 2 sets of footprints and God told him this were his life. As the man look, God was always at his side but when he saw the point where he were facing difficulties, there was only one set of footprints. He asked God," Why wasn't you with me when I needed the most?" God replied," I was there with you, and in fact, I am carrying you at my back. I'm carrying the burden for you."
Morale of the story. God will always be at your side even if you cannot see it, surely He will let you face problems but He will guide you through no matter what and not leave you there!
Another question pop out of my mind as I was typing this story. Why does Adam live with such blessing in the garden of Eden and we still have ups and downs even if we accepted Christ?
2Reasons. 1. Adam faced problems too! God gave him a problem to solved, which is to name all the animals in the garden and they were all the beast and fowls in the world! It's like such a great number which is a big problem but God helped him to overcome it by giving him great wisdom.
2. True enough, he was still very blessed because he lived in such a clean place whereas we are living with all the sins and evil which is always readily to harm us.
Okay, I think that's about all but before I end this, I would like to share something about me.
Being in church for about 1year and 3months, inexperienced, I'm a cluster leader. I do not know a lot of things and did not know what to do and I have about 6 souls on my hand! Surely, I will face problems and I always get troubled and sometimes, I will be too weak to be so tempted to say GOD I GIVE UP but I carried on! I prayed and went on with this cluster believing God will do something for my cluster, will solve my problem and I'm not the one leading but God is. True enough, as I begin to believe, God begins to solve problems after problems overnight! Miracles have been happening in this cluster making me believing God is really in this cluster.
Guys, God is really in your life. It's just the matter whether you want to have a firm stop of trying to be superman and solve everything on your own, and when nothing goes your way, you blame it to God. You must also pray to Him, believe in Him that He is going to be inside your life and you're not alone. It is only then, things will change. If you want to be superman, God will let you do it and watch you fail but when you are readily allowing Him to do it, He will settle it quickly for you but remember, GIVE THANKS to everything He does!
Okay, I think that's about all. Hope all this help. I shall end this with a prayer!
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You Lord for giving me this chance to post a message about You, giving me this revelation to tell people about You.
