How To Relax in Time of Trouble!

''With him is an arm of flesh; but WITH US is the LORD our GOD to HELP US, and to FIGHT OUR BATTLES. And the people RESTED themselves upon the words of Hezekiah King of Judah.''  (2 Chron. 32:8)

Troubles are part of Life. Job said, ''Man that is born of a woman is of few days and FULL OF TROUBLE.'' (Job 14:1). Trouble can confront a nation, family or an individual. You are not an exception with problems in the relationship, family, business, ministry and a whole lot, Job said troubles are part of Life!

How can you stay cool, confident and focused in a time of trouble, when the problem that confronts you is bigger than your spiritual, mental and financial resources?

Simple, Do not focus on the size of your problem, but on the promises of God. Whenever you seem to be so full of troubles and worries, take a break, return to the WORD of GOD. Read and meditate on the promises of God concerning you. With FAITH and prayer take a rest in the presence of GOD.

Take a rest from your burden of divorce, break ups, relationship problems, poverty, sin, and family problems by resting on His word. FOR HE HAS SAID, ''I will never ever leave you nor forsake you''.
You are not alone, God is with you. IT IS WELL!

WAIT ON GOD

There are times when because of loneliness we find ourselves thinking about old relationships or considering new relationships with people you meet that you know are not of God. Even though you know these things, in your mind they are still relationships. 

Since the devil knows you have a ministry, he is going to do everything he can to slow you down and get you side tracked and he does it through this particular area of your life. 1 Peter 5:8 says: Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. - Why is he coming after you through this area of loneliness? It's because you are a threat to his Kingdom.

You don't have to let this happen to you. Always keep in mind that it is better to be lonely than to be with the wrong person and that is exactly what the devil wants. He wants you to get to the point where by just any old relationship would do for you. This is NOT the plan or the person God has for you. When this feeling comes over you, do as JAMES 4:7 says: Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will FLEE from you.

Wait on God and you will be happy. Wait on God and you will be satisfied. Wait on God and you will be joyful. WAIT ON GOD.

THE MARKS OF WISDOM!!

“A WISE [MAN] will HEAR, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” (Prov. 1:5)

One of the marks of wisdom is the ability to listen. It is more difficult to listen than to talk. This is because we like talking especially about ourselves, what we can do, our achievements, wealth, the revelations we can give and all dynamics of spirituality we can possess. But what really makes a good listener wise is because listening helps you to understand.

One word missing from a sentence can lead to confusion and misunderstanding. I have one very good friend of mine James who is here in the UK and from Sierra Leone, very brilliant yet faithful and humble. One very good thing I always like about Him is his reference for God and wisdom, and also he listens, not just to me but to anyone who speaks wisdom. when I was in senior high school; I also had a brilliant classmate Obed who only copied his notes after class. He usually sat in front of the class despite all the insults hailed at him listening attentively and asking questions. He always taught the “note takers” after class because he understood. Sometimes I had to beg him to teach me over and over again even though I took notes in class.

Understanding leads to attainment, which means to reach a certain point or level. Many are talking busily to Jesus without finding time to listen. So evident in our prayer meetings and chritianity of today, everybody wants quick breakthroughs and miracles without even making time to listen to God after prayer to create an atmosphere for us to listen to God. Note; it is very important to hear the voice of the lord in these times.

LET’S TAKE SOME TIME TO HEAR WHAT THE MASTER TEACHER HAS TO SAY ABOUT OUR LIFE, RELATIONSHIPS, MARRIAGES, FUTURE,  BUSINESS, AND CHALLENGES AND WE WILL ATTAIN NEW HEIGHTS!

MUSINGS V

I have learned that those who get ahead in life are those who learn new things everyday. My questions is, what new thing have you learned lately? What friend do you have outside your race, color, nationality or church denomination? Determine that you will learn from many sources. Learn from the wise, learn from the so called crazy and foolish. Learn from the successful, and learn from the failure. Learn from the old, learn from the young, learn from your good friends, learn from genuine men of God. You'll get ahead!

JOKE

An American was visiting Ghana for the first time, so he boarded a taxi from the airport to his hotel, on the way the American saw a beautiful building and asked the driver, "how long did it take to build such beautiful building", the driver was proud of his country and said 6 years, the American replied"nonsense, in my country it will take 6 months to build same building".

They passed by another huge building, the american asked again, "how many years did it take to build the house", the driver replied "2 years", to his shock again the american said,"rubbish, it takes just 2 months to build same building in my country".

They finally passed the National Stadium, and the american was amazed, he asked how long did it take to build such magnificent structure,the driver just looked at him and said "Oga, I don't know o! cos when I passed here this morning, the building wasn't there".
