Do not allow your circumstances to cause you to doubt God.

In Matthew 14:25
Jesus believed that peter could walk on water ,because He commanded Him to come. Jesus already knew the outcome of Peter taking the bold step to walk on water. And He asked Jesus to give Him the ability to do it, but in the midst of walking Peter allowed fear to sink Him back to the ground

(Matthew 14:25
 And in the fourth watch of the night[c]he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind,[d] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” )

God has already commanded us , spoken into us and believed in us, but is our faith in Him bigger than the fear of failing? Because when God commands us to do something, to step out , to start that idea He has given us ,there will be winds and storms which will come and face us. Face us to test us, to know whether we are grounded enough in our faith, whether we will still continue to walk and do what He has called us to do no matter the opposition. There is no way we wont be aware that theres an opposition , but where will our focus be ? Will we still believe that God believed in us ? and knows that we are capable and thats why He commanded us? Or will we allow the temporary storm to stop us from accomplishing His eternal purpose . See the storm is only for a moment, a moment to test whether you will give up, a moment of storm seeking to replace the long term glory and fulfillment God has planned for us . How many times have we allowed fear to stop us? To cripple us when God had already spoken. When God had already placed in you everything you need to overcome the storm. What would happen if you did it afraid? What God had asked us to do, little by little that fear would be overtaken by faith. We don't understand where this storm has come from but we won't let it stop us from doing what God has asked us to do.

See the storm only began when peter left His comfort zone ( the boat ). The boat was only to keep peter limited. It was comfortable but it meant He remained in there and did not know His potential. What was His potential ? That the Lord will do in Him beyond what He (Peter) could even ask or imagine. God saw His potential , but did He see it? Fear stops us from walking in our full potential. Fear springs up all the questions to lead you in doubting what God Himself has already placed inside of you. Can I really do this? What if this happens? What if i don't have enough? What if they think this? . But faith fuels you to walking in your full potential even when fear stares at you in the face. Can I do this ; Yes ;I can do all things through christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13 ) …..What if this happens? ; Nothing is going to stop me from doing what God has asked me to do; Not by might, nor by power but by My spirit, says the LORD Almighty. (Zechariah 4:6)….What if i dont have enough ;God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory in christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

What would happen if we replied back to fear in the face with faith. Faith in who God says we are and what we have?

When you are in your comfort zone theres no opposition, because you haven't yet discovered the potential God has placed within you. But when you step out of your comfort zone , refusing to stay the same, you are getting ready to uncover the potential God has placed inside of you. God has already commanded you, And when God commands Is beyond a word, God speaks out of completion. He has already seen you fulfill it and walking in it thats why He spoke the word. Now its up to you and I to hold on to the word, the idea, the vision, the dream and step out regardless of what we will face. We may not have seen the storm coming, but God did and still commanded you, because He already saw you fulfilling it.

The wind ceased when peter got back into the boat. The storm will stop, when fear looks at you in the face and you don't respond to it. When your eyes are focused on the author and finisher of your faith ; Jesus.

Jesus Loves you

Why would someone still treat you differently or hate on you even when they have more than you. Its because of where they can see you going.To you ,you are little, but you’ve got to understand you are a treasure in the eyes of God. You’ve got greatness inside of you and you may not see it but they do. You may think you have little now, but the very little you have will be great one day. Sometimes you may think the best thing to do is revenge those who want to destroy you. But the battle belongs to God.
David acted wisely in the midst of Saul. He did everything He needed to do correctly so Saul will have nothing to say. But He was still jealous of Him. He still wanted to kill Him. Not because had anything, but because of where he could see David. The women rejoiced over David and that made Him jealous. That was a while ago, but Saul continued to be jealous. Because He could see that David was going to be great with God on His side.

You shall conquer in every battle set to trap or take you out. You will succeed in the area they placed you to limit you. Because God is with you
Saul sent David to war so He will be killed. He told Him to go and bring back 100 foreskins of the philistines, to prove that He had conquered. But David went to war and brought back 200 foreskins. He went to the war that was planned to kill Him and brought back double of what Saul requested. He didn’t just survive He succeeded in the area set up to kill Him.
May God expose every scheme to destroy you and confuse the plans of the enemy.
Saul told Jonathan He wanted to kill David. But God made Jonathan love David as His own soul (1 samuel 18:1) . So Jonathan informed David that Saul seeks to kill Him. And even advised David to go into hiding.

Some people want to criticize you and make your life difficult. Some people want to get rid of you not because of something bad you have done. But because of something good you have done. They don’t want to see any goodness come out of you, even though you are doing well, they will find something bad to say. They want you to take your eyes of everything thats going well and start to think of yourself the way they see you. To make you think of yourself lowly and eventually stop doing good. Be Careful with such people.
Saul sent messengers to kill David. But at the time David was with a group of prophets prophesying and He was leading. When the messengers saw David, their agenda to kill David was removed. The spirit of God took over them and they began to prophesy as well. Saul sent second and third messengers and they also began to prophecy.
God is able to turn any trap or assignment against you to be for you. Those who have been assigned to eliminate you will be confused. They will start helping you rather than destroy you. They came with an agenda, but their agenda will not be fulfilled. Because if God be for you, who can be against you.

Glory be to God

Purpose behind your Pain.

I never really used to understand when people say there is purpose behind your pain. For me it sounded like You mean I Didn’t go through all this for no reason? I didn’t fight this battle for no reason? But one faithful day I grasped and experienced what it meant by Purpose behind the pain. That whatever you went through was not meant to kill you, it wasn’t meant to define who you are, but God will help you overcome it and use you to help others in a similar situation for His glory. I came to understand that it wasn’t all about me, that there are loads more people who were broken. That I needed to keep my eyes on Jesus and seek Him to fill the brokenness within me. That Jesus came for the broken, lost, confused, weary. That I couldn’t allow anything from the past that made me broken to keep me in bondage. That all authority in Heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus and nothing that I’ve faced could hold me down because He gave me authority to use His name which is above all.

So I got up that morning just hungry to spend time with God. The time I spent in the morning before work was not enough. So I decided that at lunch time at work I would spend time in the prayer room at work. I prayed and worshiped and had my quiet time to listen. But in the middle of waiting I sadly started sleeping. I can’t believe I slept. Then I woke up again and began to worship, but then a lady walked into the prayer room and sat a few seats behind me. I toned down my voice and I felt to turn my head again and watch. I turned my head again to worship but I felt to stop and watch her again. Then I just asked Her, ” Are you alright” she replied “Yes” but then tears started rolling down her face. I got up from my seat and went to sit next to her. I hugged her and the tears were even more. She then spoke to me and said she has been tortured so much by people in the past. With words of abuse from people close to her and even her past relationship. And now that she is free from those people her mind is still caught up in the past. She is free physically but her mind has not recovered from the abusive names and labels from the past. Her mind is still bound to the past and she doesn’t know how to be free. She doesn’t know how to escape torturous voices and she just doesn’t see how she can be free and live. The medication and therapy from the doctors wasn’t making a difference. As she spoke I held her hand, God gave me words to encourage her. Even though tears strolled down her face, she began to smile, I spoke with words of hope, words of strength, words of power and words of someone who didn’t see why I needed to live at a point in my life, but God kept me. As I finished speaking she asked me to pray for with her. I prayed with her and Hugged her. She had the biggest smile on her face, she continuously kept saying thank you.
As I was returning back to work I stopped for a moment and thanked God for using me. I thanked God for using me to reach to someone who was broken from her past just as I was.I thank God for giving me strength and healing me of the thoughts of hopelessness that nearly led me to take my life when I was young. I thanked God for keeping me to see that day and giving me the strength and peace to overcome so He could use me to help someone else who felt the same way about life.

image

I don’t know what you’ve been through. I don’t know what words or situations from the past has kept you in bondage. You are not hopeless because of your past. You are valuable because of who you belong to; Jesus. He has given you life today because He Loves you and you have a purpose on this earth. Don’t allow your past pain to steal the bright future God has for you. Take the pain, the brokeness, the emptiness to God. Stop crying about what you went through and cry out to God. God doesn’t want your mind on your pain, He wants your mind to be on Him.  Only Jesus can set you free.

Glory be be to God
I will be still and know you are GOD.

Submit..Surrender all

Romans 12:1  And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[b] 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

God requires us to give ourselves to Him. Submit our bodies in obedience to Him, submit our minds, submit our hearts. You can’t ask anyone to make something for you until you give them the materials.God cannot use us and change us until we give ourselves to Him. That does not mean accepting Him by word of mouth only, but accepting Him in our actions and hearts.That we choose to obey Him, that we choose to think about life and people the way He thinks. That we choose do His will.
The more we give Him ourselves, the more He can use what we give Him. When you go to a tailor and ask them to sow you a skirt, you buy the material that is sufficient to sow a skirt, however if you would like to sow a top then you have to give Him more.

God requires us to submit, which means let go, surrender, lay down your plans, your dreams, your actions and Let Him give Him yours. It means not choosing however i want to live, but i choose to live how He tells me to Live.
Thats why the bible says don’t copy the behavior of this world. It means don’t choose the way the world chooses. Choose God’s way. Don’t submit to the worlds ways, or your own ways. Choose God’s ways. His way is life.

image

Psalm 16:1
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
And His way is not copying anyone but Knowing His ways through His word for your self. Somebody is not your role model, God and His word should be our role model. Because people will fail, people can change, and using them as your role model will disappoint you. Jesus is our role model, He lived on earth so we can know how to live. God never fails, and He puts His word above Himself.
Psalm 138:2 (NKJV) “I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for you have magnified Your word above all Your name.”

As the song goes “I surrender all to you, everything I give to you, with holding nothing. I give myself away so you can use me. ”

I remember crying so much at my Granmother’s funeral. And even though I know we will all leave this earth oneday, I was so sad I just didnt want it to sink in she was gone. I just didnt want her to leave, So i kept sobbing and asked my mum why my Granmaa couldn’t stay just to spend more time with us. And my mum replied “You loved her but God Loves her more. She is not yours She belongs to God.

We don’t have to be afraid to submit, because we belong to Him.

My life is not my own, To You Lord I belong.

God Loves You

To obey is better than Sacrifice

God asked Saul to destroy all the Amalekites. He spoke through the prophet Samuel and told Him to do so.
But Saul left the best of the sheep and oxen and the king of the Amalekites and didnt kill them. ( 1 samuel 15:20-21)

The reason He didnt kill them was because ” He feared the people and obeyed their voice”. ( 1 samuel 15:24)

(1 samuel 15:24 Then Saul said to Samuel ” I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.)

Saul became more focused on pleasing people than pleasing God. The reason He disobeyed God is Because “He feared them”.
But did He forget that the people did not choose Him? That God chose Him? He needed God in every battle to win. He needed God’s direction to know how to rule His people. But for a moment He started to fear them instead of God.

He kept the best of the sheep and oxen belonging to the amalekites, so He could sacrifice them to God. But God didnt ask for a sacrifice. He asked Saul to obey.
You don’t have to seek people’s opinion on obeying the word of God. You don’t have to fear that you will loose a friend or you will loose a boyfriend. You don’t have to fear that you will loose things.

Are you more afraid of people that are not in control of their own breath than the one who gives you life? Are you more worried about people who cannot protect you from evil than God who never sleeps nor slumber for you? Are you more worried about what the people who don’t know what tomorrow brings than the one who makes a new day?

God is merciful, God is kind, But we’ve got to Obey Him.

I used to seek people’s opinion about God’s word. Even though i knew the word myself. So I listened to friends and people’s opinion on whether I should stop fornicating. I was afraid of God, but i was more afraid of loosing someone I was not married to. And this was also the advocates of friends who went to church and believed in God. Before I began fornicating I was afraid, afraid because deep within me I knew God was not happy. But as time went on I began to think ” well every one around me says its fine”. But I didn’t realise how much fornication had eaten my peace. I didn’t realise how much it began to affect my relationship with God. I would go to church and worship and give offerings. But deep down God wanted me to surrender myself more than the offerings and the lip service I did.

The issue is I cant blame my friends for the decisions I took to disobey God. Because I had a choice. And no matter how people influence you to make a decision, at the end of the day they won’t face the consequences you will.

image

So first go to God’s word about the matter. What does God say about the decision you are about to make?

1 samuel 15: 22
Behold to obey is better than sacrifice.

God doesn’t want our lip service of sacrifices when we have not given Him our soul. He doesn’t want the devil to have entrance and do what He wants with us. He doesn’t want our souls to burn in Hell. He wants us to have peace, He wants us to rest in His bosom. He loves us.

We will be judged individually, not with friends, not with family, not with partners. We will be judged individually. Not on because we feared people more than God. When our soul, spirit and our bodies are powerless after death, where we end up will be a result of the choices we made whiles we were alive here on earth

Because Saul disobeyed God and followed people’s opinion instead of what God told Him to do, the Lord rejected Him from being King over Israel.
Our destiny can be diverted just by following the opinion of people instead of what God has said. Don’t reason with the truth, when you know what God’s word says follow What He says. God knows you more than your closest friend. He has the best in store for you and He has great plans ahead for you.

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

Only Jesus can fill the void

The Lord assured the Israelites not to be afraid. That even though they had sinned against Him , as long as they changed their ways and obey Him He will not forsake them.
1 samuel 12:20-21 Then Samuel said to the people, Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord,but serve the Lord with all your heart.
And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. For the Lord will not forsake His people , for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people.
25: But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away both you and your king.
Psalm 145:8
The Lord is merciful and compassionate , slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

God is merciful. God is love. He doesn’t judge you according to your sins, when you repent and turn to Him. When you were on the road to destruction and everything you did proved that you don’t deserve another chance He gives you another chance.
He exchanges your brokenness, your pain, your emptiness and fills and restores you with His love.

God loves you and does not want you to be lost in the crowd. He knows the outcome of the decisions you take.

Choices of disobedient lead to an empty soul. Your flesh is filled up but your soul is broken. Because God created you for Him and nothing in this world will fill you up. There is no peace in the things that will pass away, peace is only found in Jesus.

John 14:6
Jesus answered “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.

Its only in Jesus that you are restored, its only in Jesus that you are complete. The more decisions and actions you partake in outside His will the more empty you become.

John 6:35
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Walk in God’s will. Seek after Him and desire for Him, only He can fill you up.

Thats why Samuel said to the Israelites
1 samuel 12:21
And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.
I can speak from experience. I used to consistently fornicate. When I felt empty, the answer to my emptiness was ” sex”. But everytime I had sex i felt even more empty. I felt even more broken. In Front of people I looked “happy”.

I knew God’s word because I was brought up as a christian. I was brought up in a home where we prayed and read God’s word together. Even though sex filled my flesh, I constantly went around feeling empty, woke up feeling lost and ashamed.

Because I knew God’s word when i began fornicating, I felt convicted. I would constantly ask God to forgive me. Just before I fornicated I didnt feel convicted but after i did I would ask God to forgive me. But it seemed impossible to live without fornicating, because everyone around my circle saw it as the norm. Even though they knew God’s word. They said it was natural. Forgetting that, the creator of all things nature and man made created sex as a covenant between man and woman. That it involves an agreement with God over two souls uniting to be one.

I was afraid of leaving a sin, which i had been used to. A sin that fed my flesh. A sin that made me feel like i could connect with my then boyfriend. So overtime even though i told my self i won’t do it I saw myself going back into the same thing i said I wouldn’t do.

Everyday I prayed to God for peace. Even though i was laughing on and smiling on the outside, i was broken on the inside.

I knew God had spoken to me since I was a child,through  dreams. But I couldn’t understand the dreams and I would hardly receive them when I was fornicating. I wanted to understand my dreams and have a relationship with God.

Everything started falling apart. Not just my peace within but my peace on the outside. I would run to pharmacy after pharmacy afraid of pregnancy. Even to focus at university was a problem.

Wait when you are walking in obedience with God you won’t be afraid of an outcome. Because you trust Him. You will trust the man that God brings into your life, that He won’t sleep around and infect you with any disease.

But God…. He is merciful, when you turn from your wicked ways. He is speaking to your heart through your family your heart, but sin has become a norm. That even when you dress up in it you don’t see its filth. You don’t see its destruction to your soul.

Nothing in this world will satisfy. No job, no amount of money, no boyfriend.

I continued to seek God’s face and my everytime i did i felt peace. When I cried out to Him for provision He provided. I started to think, what If I gave up fornication and made time for Him. God began to use me and reveal himself to me through dreams and the bible. I wanted to draw closer to Him and I knew deep within me I needed to let go of my past. I needed to separate from my sinful ways.

As I woke up one morning I started thinking of how faithful God has been to me and I couldn’t continue to live in disobedience. So I announced to my ex boyfriend that we could continue to stay in the relationship as long as we both remained celibate.

Before I even spoke to Him i kept praying to God that He would understand. That God will soften His heart. I was afraid of loosing someone I had been used to. But my relationship with God came first. I thought to myself, my boyfriend could not give me the peace I was receiving from God. I couldnt continue to feel guilty. And I was already excited about how God was speaking to me in dreams and His word.

So one rainy an cold day in autumn. I almost felt like my world was about to end. I broke the news to my ex boyfriend. He didn’t understand why. Perhaps He even thought i found someone else.

To cut the story short. I ended up single 😂. Now i had to go through the process of heart break the first time in my life in the middle of my final year of university. But Jesus showed Himself strong. Every time i worshiped i became stronger. The holy spirit led me through God’s word and even people to encourage me. Everywhere i turned i could feel the arm of a loving father holding me together. My relationship with God began to blossom. I cant remember a day missed without hearing Him through a dream or through His word. The holy spirit is a true comforter. I experienced Jesus like i never did before. God revealed to me dreams about the outcome of university, warnings for my family and i was just blown away. I couldn’t believe I was missing such an intimate relationship with Jesus because I chose to please my flesh.
God favored me through out my exams, my registration to become a qualified radiographer and even in my job.

Your relationship with God is more valuable than any other relationship.

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?

The Lord placed this verse on my heart and led me to write this back in february. Our Heavenly father loves us.
Psalm 68:5
A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation.

God our father is
A father that provides for you
A father that protects for you
A father that is the head of the house
A father that loves you
A father disciplines you
God is a father to those without fathers and those with fathers.Less of their father. Those who don’t have the main figure. This means those without fathers still have a father, they wont be in need, they wont be led astray, they wont be afraid, they wont feel unloved, they wont be mislead.
Theres so much your earthly father can do, He cant be everywhere and know everything. But our heavenly father is omnipresent and omniscient. Whether your earthly father has been around or not, you haven’t missed anything in life. Because recognizing and knowing your heavenly father means everything beyond your earthly father is provided. Getting to know your heavenly father you will be counseled, you will become the great man or woman you are called to be. You haven’t missed out because you never spent time with your earthly father or seen him. Your heavenly father knew you before you were born. Your earthly father hadn’t even seen you before you were brought into existence by your heavenly father. Your heavenly father chose your earthly father. Your earthly father waited on you( a special gift) your heavenly father delivered.your heavenly father wants you to know Him as well as He knows you. This means spending time with him. Your heavenly father delivered you for a purpose and one day you will go back to him.He wants you to know Him when you see Him again. When you were delivered you didn’t know Him but when you return back to Him He wants you to know Him. If you know Him here you will definitely know Him when you see Him one day.
No matter what you may face. Our heavenly father will be there, through the trials the ups and the downs, He will stand by us. Knowing Him means we have authority, we are protected, He will never leave us nor forsake us.
