God will reward You in His time… Wait

image

In the book of Esther 2:21
Mordecai saved King Ahasuerus life, by reporting to Esther to inform the king that two of the King’s Enuchs were plotting to kill him.
But the king did not thank Mordecai for what He had done. The king did not reward Mordecai. But God saw what Mordecai had done. God saw that Mordecai had not be rewarded for been a good man. God saw and did not forget about Mordecai but it seemed like the King had forgotten. But as long as God has seen that is enough. You don’t need man to recognise you, even if they don’t recognise you, you should not worry. Because God Himself has seen you and will reward you for your good works. And when God rewards you , you will not forget. You will know that God has His eyes on you and His word does not return to Him void.

Man may not recognize you because they forgot , or sometimes it could even be intentional. But it doesn’t matter because God sees and knows.
Matthew 10:30 ; God knows how many hairs you have on your head.

But straight after Mordecai’s good works, somebody else had been rewarded; Haman. Haman was promoted and was given alot of authority.

We didnt see Mordecai been rewarded straightaway. And that makes me understand that sometimes, after you have done a good deed, or you have helped others or you have been there for others and have been selfless. Nobody recognizes you, its as if they did not see you do it at all. Its as if what you did was invisible to man. But just know that it wasnt invisible to God. And God will bless you for obeying His word and the good you are doing. Don’t be shocked if you don’t recieve the reward straightaway, don’t be aggregaited, don’t be furious. Just give thanks to God, you have not been forgotten. Because there will be a time where you will enjoy the fruits of your goodness.

Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

You are not rewarded now because God has a set time for everything. You are not rewarded now, because God is planing How He can reward you greatly. You are not rewarded now because the time is not yet.
After you sit an exam, there is a period of waiting for the examiners to mark your work, and a period where they will tally your marks and release your results. The results of all your hard work, is not released on the same day in any major exams. But because you know you studied , you believe and expect to do well.
God reminded the King at the appointed time to bless Mordecai. In Esther 6:1,
The King could not sleep. What would make the king sleepless, after sleeping well many nights of not rewarding Mordecai. That day the King Recognized Mordecai. When God is ready to release your reward, it doesn’t matter what the situation is Your blessings will arrive.

The King may not have heared God say reward Mordecai now, but God orchestrated Mordecai’s blessings to be released at a time where a grave was been dug for Him.
God knew when the right time was to reward Mordecai. And God knows the set time to reward you.
And at the appointed time, Mordecai was rewarded. And Mordecai was rewarded greatly.

So be patient for God to reward you. Don’t rush to hear congratulations from man. Just Know that You have Abba Father who sees everything you do , and He will reward you in His time.

Not on God’s Watch

Not on God’s watch

Sometimes there may have been decisions taken without you even knowing about what was happening. Its not because you chose not to be there, its because you were not even aware that such a thing was happening. Its not because God didnt want you to know. Its because God wants you to learn to trust Him, even when something looks final in the eyes of man. God wants you to know that, even if you were not aware that such a thing was happening He does. He is aware, He is all knowing. God did not tell you such and such was plotting, and such and such is going to happen. Because He wants you to be aware He is working behind the scenes. The things you are unaware of , or you don’t understand is all going to work out for your good.

Sometimes you only find out about the outcome of situations and you may be surprised by what has happened. But hold on, trust God, He will make all things work together for your good. You may not understand now, but He does.

In the book of Esther 3, Haman had already been to see the king and finalised a decision to kill the jews. Mordecai was not even aware that the decision had been finalised. He was not there when Haman, went to the King to organise for the jews to be killed. Mordecai was not there , But God was. The king decision had been confirmed, sealed, but Mordecai did not know. Even Esther who was in the Kings palace was not aware that such a decision had been finalised and a plot organised, but God was aware.
God will not allow decisions about you to be taken out of your hands. They think they have made decisions without you in it, but God’s hands is already in it, And so you don’t have to be there , the decisions will work in your favour… Rest .. God has got your back covered

The fact that the decisions were made right under esther’s nose, didnt mean that God could not turn it around. Some decisions are made, even without your consultation, but God will have the final say. Whether you were aware or unaware, God will have the final say. So rest in Him.
They plotted without you knowing, but Their plots are not unknown to God. You didnt know a storm was coming, but God allowed the storm to come , so you can be aware of the greatness He has placed in you to overcome that storm. ; an overcoming spirit ; You are more than a conqueror
The steps of the righteous are ordered. You don’t have to know what has been layed down to divert your steps. Because God has His eyes on you. Whether you know what ‘s coming or not, He will direct your steps.

God allowed the decision to finalise, so you can understand when He says there is nothing too hard for Him. It doesn’t matter how far from coming back to life that decision looks. It doesn’t matter how long the situation has remained dormant.it doesnt matter what shock and effects the decision has created, God is able to turn it around. He can do exceedingly abundantly , above all that we could ever ask or think, according to the power that works in us. (Ephesians3:20)

Step out

It is better to step out and fail , than to sit back and do nothing at all.

Sometimes you don’t know the outcome of some decisions you are about to take. The decision might mean, you can loose it all or you can gain. The decision might mean you take action now and have faith that God will come through or sit there in the problem.

The thing about life is problems don’t dissolve away. We must make the step of praying to God about the problem and seeking God’s face for a solution. God requires us to step outside of our comfort zone, because we can’t get comfortable in our problems. We must move before the problems move us. We cannot sit down and cover up issues, when God asks us to cast all our burdens unto Him for He cares for us.( 1 peter 5:7) We must keep praying until something happens.

In the Book of Esther chapter 4.
Queen Esther came to a place where she could have sat down and watched her people perish, or get out of her comfort zone and seek God’s hand to save the life’s of her people.
There are certain times in life where it looks like making a decision puts you at risk, certain people may walk away, and you may loose what was keeping you comfortable. But those decisions when taken with faith will not only bring you out of your comfort zone, but can bring out the potential you never saw in yourself.

Queen Esther could have sat in the palace, and thought “well my name hasn’t been mentioned as part of those Haman was going to kill, so am safe.”
Even though Esther knew she was at risk of being put to death if she visited the king, she boldly stepped out.

God’s decisions overpower the laws set by man. God’s decisions does not wait on man’s laws to be made. His ways are truly not our ways, neither are His thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.)
God had already created the whole universe and it runs as God has already spoken in the beginning. Therefore nothing can go beyond what God himself has already commanded. Jesus is the beginning and the end, the author and creator of the universe.

The way He commanded the sun and moon to appear it does. The way He commanded the sea to stop at the borders it does. The way He commanded man to increase and multiply its happening. Therefore can He not command a situation any situation in your life? Is there anything too hard for God?

But before God made a way even with laws restricting Esther to go to the king, Esther fasted. Esther knew that it was not going to happen until she surrender the situation to God. Esther had to deny what made her comfortable. She had to deny herself

There’s a saying which goes ” if you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done”.

That something you have to do, will be something you’ve not done. Because you are expecting to see a change.

Heed the warnings God gives you

Heed the warnings God gives you.

image

We don’t have to wait for everything to get worse before we seek God’s face. Sometimes God is speaking to us very quietly through circumstances. God is speaking to us through people, God is telling us to get out of certain relationships. Get out and stop going to certain places that we keep going. God is telling us to stop connecting our selves with certain things that we are doing or stop repeating certain behaviours. And God keeps warming and warning and warning us, but we keep going that way. And we go that way and we stop and realise, and God forgives us. And after God forgives us we go back to the old ways that we used to walk in .

And Nebucchadnezer was deffinitely someone that I believe the Lord spoke through circumstances to wake Him up and direct Him into His will. But He kept walking out of God’s will by serving other idols and walking in pride. And with Nebuchadnezer , even though God gave Daniel wisdom and revelation not only to reveal His dream but also interpret it, He was amazed for a time, and glorified God , but went back to His old ways again of pride and Idolatory. And again God used Shadrach Meshach and abed-Nego to show Nebuchadnezer that He is the only true and living God,and that was still not enough for Him To change. He glorified God for a moment , but still went back in His old ways.

God can keep warning us through circumstances, and will draw us to Him through His mighty power, by allowing us to witness the amazing miracles He can do. But when we don’t listen and keep walking down the old road.The warning stops happening around us and we become the victims or slaves of our own sin. In the sense that the sins will bruise us and break us, and that sin can even become an attitude, but God doesn’t want it to get to that extent.
2 peter 3:27 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,

Galatians 6:7Don’t be misled– you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.

In Daniel 5, Ndbuchadnezzer started to reap the products of His sin. God’s warning through dreams and miracles was not enough to change Him. So now He had experience the change before He surrendered. God gave Him time to change.

We should not allow our eyes to be fooled, when we see people living out of God’s will and things look as if they are going on well. God has a set time for everything and He gives them time to change.

Nebucchadnezer went from Living on the throne to been driven out from his throne to eating grass like an animal, a His body started to transform into the features of a bird.

Daniel 5:33
That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like Eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.

But God been so merciful, when Nebuchadnezzar repented and praised God and acknowledged that God is the Most High and only God and humbled himself, God restored everything back to Him.

We don’t have to get to the level where God has stripped everything of us, before we learn to recognize Him. The little warnings God gives you now , heed them. The convictions you get when you go to that place, or involve yourself in that relationship, don’t ignore them. Wake up now. We don’t have to wait for things to get worse or broken or destroyed before we wake up.

God restored everything Nebuchadnezzer lost, but which meant He had to loose it all, and almost go crazy. And that’s good because God restored Him. But we don’t have to go through a process of even loosing it, if we heed the warnings and obey Him first. If we just listen to Him and do as He tells us. We don’t have to go through a process of loosing everything first. We need to learn to be humble and listen. We don’t have to get to that stage where God has stripped everything of us, don’t have to get to that stage of being on the sick bed,been involved in accident or gunshot, or a even to the extent of death before we wake up. We don’t have to wait for a hurricane to come, when God has already showed us a storm. We give dominion over to sin when we disobey God. Because sin will wreck us.

Seek God for Wisdom

Seek God for Wisdom

image
2 But Samuel asked, “How can I do that? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” “Take a heifer with you,” the Lord replied, “and say that you have come to make a sacrifice to the Lord. 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you which of his sons to anoint for me.” Some decisions in life need to be taken wisely. Some decisions can have serious consequences. The wrong decisions can lead you in the wrong direction. Some decisions are not to be taken abruptly and you need to seek God for wisdom.
Even if God told you to do something, you need to seek His face on how to do it. You need to seek His face on the steps to take to get there. You may not receive the answers straight away but that will test how patient you are. That will test whether you will continue to wait on God or use your own ideas.
Samuel asked God how He can anoint David whiles Saul was still on the throne. He spoke to God about How He feels. He told God what He was thinking. He didn’t hide what was running through His carnal mind from God.

James 1:5New Living Translation (NLT)If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
God cares about how we feel. When He tells us to do something, instead of pretending we understand and run quickly and get it done, we need to ask Him to help us do what He’s asked us to do. Unless He gives us the boldness how can we do it? Unless He gives us the strength how can we make it through?
God created you and knows everything He’s placed within you to make it through. But you can’t do it until you seek Him to show you what He’s placed in you to overcome. You won’t know until you ask Him to help you see yourself the way He sees you.

We don’t know the outcome of every decision we take in life. But we are assured that when we involve God in every decision that we take, the outcome will be good. Because He is all knowing, omnipotent , wants and has the best for us. And He created the day you will receive the results of your decisions. Nothing is hidden from God.
Hebrews 4:13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

But because we can’t see the outcome yet we sometimes become afraid. But thats’s when taking your eyes of everything and putting your eyes on the almighty father steps in. That’s when trusting God and holding unto His promises steps in.
I remember a time straight after graduating from university, I took a break and then started applying for jobs. I had already written down on paper and prayed to God about where I wanted to work.But after applying to this place I wanted to work I did not get a response.  But after that I crossed out where I wanted to work and felt led to pray for God’s will and wisdom in making decisions. So there was a job been advertised which was soo not near my house😳 and the salary was lower than the other job I wanted initially, and every time the job came up, the Holy Spirit prompted me to apply. But I kept putting it of, because the money was less than the other jobs and it was a bit further from my house.

image
So every time the job came up I put it off, whiles I worked other jobs relating to my studies but not exactly my field 😩. But one day when I saw the job advertised I felt in my spirit to apply, and unbelievably I sent my application 1 minute before the deadline. A week later they called me for interview. I thought to myself  “I will just go and learn some interview questions/ practice. But when I woke up that morning , I was tempted not to go, I was a bit afraid 😫 ,  I also almost felt like “what’s the point of this long journey and expensive ticket when I know I don’t want to go so far”. But after praying God gave me the confidence  and the Holy Spirit assured me that I will be fine.
At the interview I didn’t know a lot of answers. But the Holy Spirit took control, and I just kept blabbing away with answers I never even learnt.  God gave me  wisdom on how to go about answering some questions. I was not afraid 👀, I was so relaxed and there were a few questions I couldn’t answer, but the interview panel Also kept giving me clues. I was like 😭😭, I was so amazed at what God did. I mean I didn’t have much answers in my brain since I spent most of my time telling myself ” I will go and just learn questions”.
Glory be to God I got the job. And the salary advertised online was not the complete salary.There was extra allowances which was not mentioned on the application form when advertised online.  The salary was even more than the job I wanted which rejected my application. I learnt soo much from working there and by God’s grace. Yes the journey was not easy but It was a great place to start my first job and a good foundation to build my confidence for my career. Glory be to God 🙏🙌 There was some extra allowances which meant the salary was even more

The Glory of the Lord

The Presence of The Lord

The glory of the Lord is holiness, the glory of the Lord releases power, the glory of the Lord brings revelation, the glory of the Lord brings victory, the glory of the Lord brings peace.
When Moses left the Israelites to seek God’s counsel, Whenever He returned His face was shining. It was shining so much He had to cover it up at a point ,so He could communicate with the Israelites.

Exodus 34:35 and the people of Israel would see the radiant glow of his face. So he would put the veil over his face until he returned to speak with the LORD. 

image

But God wants us to see His glory beyond how He impacted Moses.We have the Holy Spirit living in us as God’s children and God’s glory can be manifested  through us beyond how it shown through Moses. God wants His glory to be shown through us to a broken world. 
2 Corinthians 3:7-11The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face.For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. 8 Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? 9 If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! 10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way.11 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!

Lord I want to experience more and more of your glory.We’ve got to experience more and more of God’s glory. That we don’t just see change in our lives, that we see change in our communities, in our cities. And as the bible says we can be bold, because of Jesus, we don’t need to hide our face, we’ve got to show our face so lives can be impacted

2 Corinthians 3:11-12  Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold.13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away.

Also so amazing that when the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle, that the Israelites would stop their Journey until the day God’s glory left the tabernacle.
In the presence of the Lord there is freedom, there is liberty, there is fullness of Joy.
The Israelites needed to rest in God’s presence. So much that their journey to the promise land was on hold. God’s presence is more important than the plans you have ahead and the plans He has for you. Because its resting in His presence that you will uncover the steps that will lead to your victory.

The Victory matters and it will happen, but you’ve got to spend time with the King of Kings to know how you will conquer. You’ve got to rest in His presence and wait on Him to uncover the secrets to your next level.
We’ve got to choose a time to rest in God’s presence. We’ve got to make time where everything is put on hold for our King. Because He creates a new day, and we won’t be able to enter the new day and walk in His steps without consulting Him.
The Israelites put their journey on hold. Have you put God ahead of your plans, or have you put your plans ahead of God? The journey is not as important as the one who paved the journey. There would be no Journey without Him.
We can experience more of God’s glory when we spend time with Him. When we seek His face and put everything aside and put our mind and our hearts on Him. When we say “Lord I want your presence more than all you have for me”. More than the riches and gold that will perish.

John 11:40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”

Lessons from Exodus about our Treasure

God has put in us everything we need in order to do what He has called us to do. But….

1. God requires us to obey Him. Obedience is better than sacrifice ( 1 samuel 15:22) .God hasn’t created a bunch of rules just for the sake of it. He created you and loves you and has the best plans for you. He knows what will harm and destroy you and He doesn’t want you to be destroyed. He knows everything about you and nothing on this earth is hidden from Him ( Hebrews 4:13) because He created everything. For the wages of sin is death. Sin will reward with death of the soul and body.  Unrepentant sin is followed by punishment. And God doesn’t want that for you. He has great plans for you when you walk in His obedience, because He can direct you and lead you to accomplish your purpose here on earth and also spend eternity with Him.When you know the best plan for your life, will you follow any other plan? How can God tell you and lead you to the next step if you don’t obey His last order?

And thats what happened to the Israelites, when Moses returned from God’s revelation about building the tabernacle, they were worshiping idols. And the information God gave Moses was put on hold. Until they changed their heart and got rid of the idols.Then God forgave them and revealed to them everything He wanted them to do. They didn’t know about any of the skills and wisdom God placed inside of them until they repented. Until we repent and walk in the light we won’t know the next move. Before God could accept the sacrifices from the Israelites, they had to repent from their sin. They had to obey first.
2. But there is a set time for the treasure to be released. So be patient and keep seeking His face in this time, get closer to Him.God will reveal to you. ( God spoke to Moses about building the tabernacle at a particular time, and that was the time the treasure and skills placed in them was known)

3. You don’t have to worry how its going to be done, because He has placed the treasure inside of you to do it. ( exodus 31:3) Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: see I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I HAVE FILLED HIM WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD, in wisdom, understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.
God didnt say He will fill him now, He said He has filled Him. He has already appointed you, He has filled you. But you can’t accomplish it, until you seek His face. Until you walk with Him.
4. You have to be willing and obedient and have faith that He who began a good work in you and created you will help you accomplish it. Its not enough to know you have the treasure, you need to believe what God has said about you and also believe in yourself. Believe that you are capable because God has placed in you the treasure.
5. He will connect you to the right people, who He has put His wisdom and skill in to help you accomplish it. Moses could not build the tabernacle on His own. Neither could a single Israelite on their own. You are part of a body, God will connect you to the right parts so you can function together. The task is God has called you to do is beyond your might, because its God’s task that has to be accomplished through man. He requires us to work together as a body of Christ.

6. Its beyond your strength. Because God will fill you with the ability , wisdom, understanding and knowledge and His spirit to accomplish what He has called you to do.The description of the task is not from mere man. Its from Almighty God. Therefore its beyond man’s understanding and standards and wisdom. That’s why God will give you the wisdom for it. Because man’s mind cannot comprehend. God gave a description of the Tabernacle He wants the Israelites to build. And the description was beyond what they have ever done. But He also told them He has filled them with the knowledge , wisdom and His spirit to accomplish His purpose.
7. The purpose of the task is for God’s glory and also to benefit you and everyone around you. The reason God told Moses to tell the Israelites to build the Tabernacle, was so He could dwell amongst them. He wanted to be in their midst. He didn’t want only Moses to have access. He loves all His children. He wanted all the Israelites to know He was right in their midst, so they didn’t have to look anywhere else for help.

Glory be to God

Recognise And Thank God

In 1 samuel 12 Samuel gave an account of all the great things God has done for the children of Israel. Even when they disobeyed and went wayward and they landed into the hands of their enemies. When they cried out to God, God heard their cry and delivered them from the hands of their enemies.

Even when they asked God for a King to rule over them, God chose a king for them, but God told them to make sure they don’t turn aside from following Him.
1 samuel 12: 14
Now if you fear and worship the Lord and listen to his voice, and if you do not rebel against the Lord’s commands , then both you and your king will show that you recognise the Lord as your God.

Take delight in the Lord and He will give you your heart’s desires ( Psalm 37:4)

God knows everything we need. But He doesn’t want what we need to destroy us. God is willing to give us our hearts desire when we make Him the focus. He doesn’t want what we desire to be our idol. He doesn’t want our eyes more on the things He gives us than putting our eyes on Him. Because those things did not create you, He did. Those things did not give you life, He did.

He will give us the desires of our heart when we desire Him more than the earthly desires.

Its important to recognize and thank God for what He has done daily and thank Him for life. When you remember what Jesus has done for you, you will give thanks unto His name.

1 samuel 12:24
Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

When you recognize someone as a friend you will trust them and want to be around them. When you recognize your parents as your parents you will respect them and listen to them.

When you say you believe in God, when you recognise Jesus as the king of Kings you will obey Him. You will want to spend time with Him.

Recognising someone means you are aware of what they have done for you and you are thankful for it. It means you are grateful for their love, provision, protection and everything they have done. And you will not pay back the good they done for you with evil. Have you recognised God?

Psalm 91:7

Psalm 91:7
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.

Because you are covered by the blood of Jesus, nothing can touch you even when things are happening near you. A thousand shall fall on your side, ten thousand on your right hand but it shall not touch you.
God is so amazing. What happened in the Land of Egypt whiles Pharaoh was holding the Israelites captive showed God’s power.
God sent hail on the Egyptians and it destroyed their live stock. However this was the same Land the Israelites lived on and the hail did not come near them. The live stock of the Egyptians died and no harm touched Live stock of the Israelites. The Lord sent boils but it only came on the Egyptians and nothing came on the Israelites.
God is in control of the whole universe. It doesn’t matter the link between you and someone, even if its blood, even if its your neighbor. The blood of Jesus covers you and destroys every negative link.
God restrained the prestilence from coming near and touching the Egyptians.

So how much more covering you when things are happening around you.
A thousand may fall at your side.
People may be plotting right near you. Your own blood link may be plotting against you. Circumstances may be hardening right around you.
Ten thousand at your right hand.
But God said ” It will not touch you”

No matter how big the plot. No matter how close the people plotting are. No matter how close to your house the enemy is attacking. Even if its the things that belong to you thats getting attacked.

God said It will not touch you.
Whatever the enemy has planned cannot touch you. Its happening around you, but don’t allow it to scare you. Don’t allow it to frustrate you. Don’t allow it to depress you. Because God has said IT will NOT touch you. It may be happening right infront of you.
But God has given you inner peace to stand. Don’t allow it to break you down. The blood of Jesus destroys every negative link no matter how close it is.
The link in closeness may be blood. But it will not come near you. The link in closeness could be your home but it will not touch you.
The holy spirit that lives in you has power over every other spirit. Do don’t allow anything to suppress your spirit, your mind or your body. No matter how close the attack may be , God says ” It will not touch you.
So don’t give in when you see things falling right near you. Fix your eyes on Jesus.

Its not over when you turn to God

God’s Grace outweighs Failure

Moses was afraid when He heared Pharoah was looking for Him as a result of murdering an egyptian.
He wanted to save His people ( the israelites) from the abuse they were getting from the Egyptians. But he failed to rescue them in His own strength.
When God told Moses to go and speak to pharaoh to release the Israelites, Moses did not succeed straightaway. It wasn’t a one time discussion and a done deal. But Moses listened to God and was persistent in speaking to Pharaoh. God sent Moses so we would be thinking ” It shouldn’t be that difficult to convince pharaoh”. But everything happened for God’s glory to be manifested.
God still chose Moses not depending on His failure or sin. Anyone could have said why would God use Moses? God’s grace is abundant, its not depending on your past mistakes or your present state. He sees the future in you that cannot see.

You may have failed in your exams. You may have been kicked out of college or university. You may have had a child before marriage.You may have come from an abusive home. You may have been disrespectful. You may have done an abortion. You may have fornicated. You may have been rejected. You may have gone into prostitution or committed adultery.
But I want you to know that God’s grace is abundant. Regardless of how much you hate yourself for what you’ve done, or how deep into sin you think you have gone.
God loves you. His grace is sufficient. Every weak area in your life, every failure in your life, every shame in your life God is able to strengthen you to overcome it.
2 corinthians 12:19
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

When you’ve failed doesn’t mean you give up. It doesn’t mean you will never be successful again. It doesn’t mean your world has ended. It doesn’t mean you are not good enough. It doesn’t mean everyone is better than you.It doesn’t mean you are good for nothing.

When you failed means there’s something else you need to learn. It means try again. It means am going to try harder next time. Moses was persistent in speaking to Pharaoh. It may mean there’s something more i need to learn.It doesn’t mean giveup.
But what it means is go back to God. It means surrender all to Him. Jesus died for you so every burden you ever felt he can carry, every brokenness He can heal. Jesus didn’t come and save those that are perfect, He came for the lost, the broken, the sinner. Its His strength that is made perfect in our weakness. Not your strength.
You shall overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of your testimony (revelation 12:11). Its the blood of Jesus that will strengthen you to overcome. Its the blood of Jesus that will heal and deliver you to come out of whatever that’s held you down. What you thought you failed in, what you thought was an addiction, Jesus is able to break that cycle in your life.
But seek Him wholeheartedly, let God know you cant do without Him.

Jeremiah 29:13
If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

God’s Love for you and me is so deep that no matter how many times or how much you’ve failed He’s able to pick you up. The blood of Jesus is able to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. God can still use you, when you surrender and make Jesus Lord over your life. When you seek Him and not let your failures or past mistakes hold you down.
Been a christian doesn’t mean I haven’t failed before. There are many occasions where i failed my exams and had to do it all over again. There are occasions in the past where I slacked and have been disobedient to God’s word.There have been occasions where I have began something and not completed it. But one thing I realized is speaking to God daily and seeking after Him has not only given me the strength but also have the desire to please Him. God’s word has enlightened me and redirected me away from the broad road I used to walk on. Am not perfect but I Surrender and admit to God when He convicts me of where I’ve gone wrong. Certain things I used to do, certain places I used to go and even people I used to hang about with my heart does not desire anymore, because God’s presence and the love of God fills my heart with peace that my past could not give me. I can honestly say there’s been a good change within me and desire to please Him as a result of letting God lead me.
It doesn’t matter where you are at right now, Jesus can turn every failure. There is Hope in Jesus

Proverbs 24:16-18
16 For a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again

Whatever you may have failed in or fallen short of ,just know that God still loves you and will help you overcome it when you surrender and look to Him for strength. #faith #bible #Jesus #Grace #Love #peace
