The Wildfire (taking The Gospel Viral) by Brazzaville(m): 6:12pm On Nov 27, 2018
It all happened on a Monday morning while Susan was cooking. A call came in from the village, so she rushed to pick it up knowing that her mother was just recovering from an illness and then with the phone pinned to her ear, she ran back to continue her cooking. In less than 5 minutes after she went back to the kitchen, the cooking gas exploded bringing gradually to ashes the mansion she spent her resources building. It spread faster than expected cause there were lots of unwanted combustibles aiding the widespread of the fire. She did her best to reach out for the fire extinguisher despite the fact that she was on fire but it wasn't sufficient enough to put out the fire. To worsen the case, her neighbors were helpless about it & then the inefficiency of Nigerian Fire Service. Finally when they got there the mansion was really getting burnt down faster than usual and they had to do all they could to stop the fire from spreading further than it already has.
After much struggle, the smoke was so much that it looked like the fire was put out already. While the Fire Fighters were mounting their truck to go after having seemingly put out the fire, the little fire which wasn't noticed cause of the thickness of the smoke came in contact with a combustible and then it continued from where it stopped. It was only then the fire fighters knew that their work wasn't yet completely done. They had to mount down from their truck and complete their work.
This can be likened to how we, Christians feel so comfortable in life that when we see challenges, we mishandle them and they become larger than it was meant to be and they also stay longer than expected. Most times cause of how poorly we managed the challenges, they come in contact with combustibles which multiply the dangerous effect of the challenges we face. Things that should have no contact with what we are facing end up doing so cause we don't let go and let God.
Another thing is that we don't equip ourselves so that when we are faced with some challenges, we'll have the right mechanism to face it due to our preparation. Most times, we 'Christians' pray for God to see us through our challenges but when God is still in the process of answering our prayers, by showing us changes that should take place in minor places first before the major one, we stop praying about it assuming that God has answered us therefore we need to stop putting much effort to effect the change we wish to see concerning such challenges. We hand over everything to God forgetting that we have a role to play.
Learn to Let Go & Let God!
Don't forget that you need to be able to discern when you have a role to play and when you should let God do Him.
