It is impossible

I have realised that it is impossible to live for God. I have seen so many people trying to live for God and they fail. So many people get hurt trying to live for God and so many people become bitter trying to live for God.
People just expect a lot from people when they say that they are Christians. We try so hard to live up to the standard that people have set for us and all it leads to is misery. It is very clear to me that it is impossible to live for God.

It is however very possible to allow the Lord to live through us. It is not about us, but it is about Jesus. He wants us to lay everything at His feet, all we have to do is to make a choice and then allow Him to lead us by His grace. This includes everything from being able to read your bible everyday, driving, helping people, working, forgiving, loving, correcting, being corrected, and basically everything. This is possible only by the grace of God.

People like giving compliments and telling us we have done a good job, but basically it all goes back to God. He is the one who enables us to do everything and be who we are. He is the one who gives us strength to be truthful about whom we are. He is basically our helper in everything absolutely everything. God is Good.

Overcome Fear

Fear is very cunning. I believe this is an enemy to mankind. We can believe all we want in our minds that we have no fear, however it goes beyond that. Believing in just in your mind is not enough. We have to believe in our heart. Take a moment and trully search your heart. If you have fear about something acknowledged it. If we do not acknowledge our fears we will never be able to overcome and move forward. We can never overcome what we don't acknowledged.

Being Tried and Tested

I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and most of them have been caused by rushing into things. Don’t get me wrong I am happy and glad that my life turned out the way it did. I am glad that God never gives up on us (people) but continues to train them as long as we do not cut ourselves off. Spiritual matters are not supposed to be rushed into. There are a lot of trials and tests that we have to pass through before we can step into our spiritual calling. People will never really understand God’s path for us, and we as well do not understand the path that God has for us, He reveals it bit by bit because His thoughts and ways are higher than ours. God cannot be mocked and manipulated. God will never bend to our will but we are the ones who are supposed to surrender to His will. Our spiritual backbone is continually strengthened as we pass through different trials. I have come to have a different outlook on trials and tests. I have always thought that God is a cruel God by allowing...

Behold a New Thing

The Lord continually wants to show us new things in our lives. He is not a static God. He wants our lives to improve. He wants us to mature and if we are not careful we miss Him and become stagnant. What is the new thing that God wants to do in your life? Talk to him and find out directly from Him. Do not look at the new things that are happening around you and just join because remember the majority is not always right. If you feel stagnant, make a change, don’t allow yourself to be boxed up, be brave and make that change. After making that change be careful not to move backwards ask God to give you the strength to move forward. The way you used to do things before will definitely try to pull you back. If you think you made a mistake and did not hear God then by all means admit you were wrong and seek God for your next step. Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the d...
