When Things Seem To Go Wrong

Mon, 12 Nov 2018

‘I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.’ Genesis 40:15 NKJV

Joseph had lived an exemplary life. He had made a fortune for his employer and had resisted the sexual advances of his boss’ wife and stayed true to God. But what was his reward? A prison sentence with no hope of parole. Since when does the high road lead over a cliff? Ever since the entry of evil into the world. And as long as Satan ‘prowls around like a roaring lion’ (1 Peter 5:8 NIV), he will wreak havoc among God’s people. He will lock preachers like Paul in prison. He will exile pastors like John on remote islands. He will afflict the friends of Jesus, like Lazarus, with diseases. But his strategies always backfire. The imprisoned Paul wrote the epistles. The banished John saw heaven. The cemetery of Lazarus became a stage upon which Christ performed one of His greatest miracles. The prison in which they placed Joseph became his stepping-stone to the palace for which God had destined him. Looking back, he could say to the brothers who had sold him into slavery, ‘But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.’ (Genesis 50:20 NKJV) So look for God’s purposes in the reversals of your life, and you’ll begin to see them as stepping-stones to blessing. ‘The Lord shall not turn back until He has executed and accomplished the thoughts and intents of His mind.’ (Jeremiah 30:24 AMPC) God will use the circumstances you are in today to strengthen you, draw you closer to Himself, and accomplish His will for your life.

Your Today Is Connected To Your Tomorrow

Sat, 10 Nov 2018

‘Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.’ Ecclesiastes 9:10 NIV

What you are doing right now might seem insignificant and unrewarding, but it could be preparing you for something God wants to do through you in the future. The Bible says, ‘It is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.’ (Philippians 2:13 NKJV) There’s a saying: ‘Nothing is lost in God’s economy,’ and it’s true. When Daniel Webster started out as a lawyer he took a case for a fee of just twenty dollars. The case turned out to be a very difficult one, and in preparing for it he had to make a trip to Boston, which cost him more than twenty dollars. But he determined to do a thorough job and win the case, which he did.

Years later a company approached him on short notice, asking him to undertake a case for which they were willing to pay him the largest fee he had ever received. In reviewing the case, he found it was almost identical to the one he’d researched and won nearly twenty years earlier, and for which he was paid only twenty dollars. He took the case and, just as before, the verdict was in favour of his client. When you do only what you feel like doing or enjoy doing, you can overlook relationships and undervalue experiences essential to your future. Your destiny is made up of seemingly insignificant moments, experiences and encounters. Your today is connected to your tomorrow, so maximise each opportunity and relationship that comes your way. ‘Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.’

Nairaland General › Turn To God’s Word! by Btruth(op): 7:43am On Nov 09, 2018
Turn to God’s Word!

Fri, 9 Nov 2018

‘My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.’ Psalm 89:34 NKJV

Medical experts say that every one of us will experience depression in some form during our lifetime. A large portion of the population wakes up each day in a cloud of gloom. You may be one of them. A popular children’s book is called Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Alexander falls asleep with gum in his mouth, and finds it in his hair upon waking. His breakfast cereal box lacks a toy in the bottom, and he can’t impress his teacher despite his best efforts. He resolves several times to move to Australia. Unfortunately, geographical cures don’t work. You don’t solve the problem; you just relocate it. So what can you do? Turn to the one source of strength, hope, and encouragement that never fails—God’s living Word. God says, ‘My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.’

If you’re feeling down today, here are some Scriptures you can stand on:

‘He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.’ (Psalm 107:20 NKJV)

‘I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.’ (Psalm 27:13 NKJV)

‘In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me.’ (Psalm 86:7 NKJV)

‘Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.’ (Isaiah 59:1 NKJV)

‘I will go in the strength of the Lord God.’ (Psalm 71:16 NKJV)

You Must Know Your Life’s Purpose

Thu, 8 Nov 2018

‘For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.’ Ephesians 2:10 NKJV

The Bible says that ‘we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.’ (Ephesians 2:10 NLT) Before you decide on a career or what you’ll devote your life to, seek God for guidance. Nothing can take the place of knowing His will. If you don’t know it, you’re likely to spend your life doing the wrong things. And even if you’re well-paid, you’ll experience an emptiness and lack of fulfilment within.

Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, a Nazi death camp survivor, said: ‘Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life… a concrete assignment that demands fulfilment. Therein he cannot be replaced… everyone’s task is as unique as his specific opportunity.’ God created you for a specific purpose. Your responsibility (and your joy) is to identify it. Here are four questions to ask yourself when it comes to identifying your life’s purpose:

(1) What am I searching for? All of us have a strong desire in our hearts; something that speaks to our deepest thoughts, longings, and feelings; something that sets our souls on fire.

(2) Why was I created? Think about your unique mix of abilities, the relationships and resources available to you, your personal history, and the opportunities around you. These are all directional signposts.

(3) Do I believe in my potential? Leadership expert John Maxwell says, ‘No one can consistently act in a manner that is inconsistent with the way he or she sees themselves.’

(4) When should I start? The answer to that question is ‘Now!’

Nairaland General › Free From Religious Bondage by Btruth(op): 5:55am On Nov 07, 2018
Free From Religious Bondage

Wed, 7 Nov 2018

‘So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free.’ Galatians 5:1 NLT

Some of us find it hard to give ourselves permission to think, say, or enjoy certain things because we fear others will disapprove. We live by their convictions instead of our own. There’s no bondage like religious bondage! A Christian author wrote: ‘The church I grew up in taught that we couldn’t go to the movies or a soccer match (mixing with the world), or ladies wear makeup. Our standard answer to most of these issues was, “We were taught differently!”’ Such is the reasoning of a conscience raised in the school of tradition. Paul came down hard on the Galatians for trying to police people’s lives and forcing them to live by Jewish traditions instead of the Gospel of grace. He wrote, ‘So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.’ (Galatians 5:1 NLT) Train yourself to worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. In reality, what upsets some religious folks is that you can do certain things they can’t—because they can’t give themselves permission to enjoy their freedom in Christ (see Galatians 2:4). Now, we’re not condoning sin or unscriptural practices. But if you don’t move when the light is green, you’ll spend your life waiting for ‘the right moment’ or ‘a time when most people will understand’ before you move forward. And you’ll end your life looking back with regret. Don’t let that happen to you. ‘So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free.’
Nairaland General › Your Good And His Glory. by Btruth(op): 8:58pm On Nov 06, 2018
Your Good and His Glory

Tue, 6 Nov 2018

‘If you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.’ 1 Peter 2:20 NIV

Many of the people we admire in Scripture were badly treated. And God permitted it to happen. Think about Daniel being thrown to the lions, and Joseph being tossed into prison. They did nothing to deserve it. The Bible says: ‘If you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.’ (1 Peter 2:20–21 NIV) Notice, you are ‘called’ to overcome difficulties. There’s purpose in your pain. And nothing can touch you without first passing through your loving heavenly Father’s hands. He anticipated it all, and everything you’re going through right now is preparing you to serve Him more effectively.

Paul said, ‘The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me… But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to hear.’ (2 Timothy 4:16–17 NLT) Paul didn’t see it as simply enduring, he saw it as advancing! So be encouraged; you’re growing in grace [becoming more gracious] and in the knowledge of the Lord (see 2 Peter 3:18). You’re in the preparation process. ‘But I don’t understand,’ you say. Then listen to Joni Erickson Tada: ‘If God’s mind was small enough for me to understand, He wouldn’t be God. Sometimes I can’t stand being in this wheelchair, but there God’s grace takes over. Even in my handicap, God has a plan and purpose for my life.’ Whether God takes you out of the situation or brings you through it, trust Him. He’s working for your good and His glory.

Nairaland General › Joseph’s Three Coats (3) by Btruth(op): 4:12am On Nov 05, 2018
Joseph’s Three Coats (3)

Mon, 5 Nov 2018

‘He clothed him in garments of fine linen.’ Genesis 41:42 NKJV

The third coat Joseph wore was: the coat of destiny. Because Joseph honoured God in the most difficult of circumstances, he ended up on the throne of Egypt, wearing the coat of rulership and fulfilling his destiny. The psalmist said God ‘sent a man before them—Joseph—who was sold as a slave. They hurt his feet with fetters, he was laid in irons. Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. The king sent and released him, the ruler of the people let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions.’ (Psalm 105:17–21 NKJV) The tests and temptations you are facing are over your future. They are preparing you for your destiny! All of your life can be training for one season, for one assignment. And the greater the assignment, the greater the attack that will come against you. Five times in Genesis chapter 39 the Bible says, ‘The Lord was with Joseph.’ But that did not exempt him from betrayal by his family; or repeated temptation at the hands of his boss’s wife; or slander and false imprisonment; or disappointment at the hands of the butler he befriended in prison. Looking back, however, Joseph realised that all of these experiences were ‘training for reigning’. When asked why he used only wood taken from trees that had weathered the biggest storms to make his violins, Stradivarius replied, ‘Weather-beaten wood makes the sweetest music.’ So persevere, keep trusting God, and you’ll sing a song of victory.

Joseph’s Three Coats (2)

Sun, 4 Nov 2018

‘Joseph left his coat in her hand and ran.’ Genesis 39:12 NCV

The second coat Joseph wore was: the coat of temptation. The Bible says that when Joseph ‘was in the house going about his work… she came and grabbed him by the sleeve, demanding, “Sleep with me.” He tore himself away, but as he did, his jacket slipped off and she was left holding it as he fled.’ (Genesis 39:11–12 TLB) Joseph was young, handsome, lonely, far from home, and facing repeated temptation at the hands of his boss’ wife. Yet he resisted her advances and said, ‘How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?’ (Genesis 39:9 NKJV) His first concern was not that he couldn’t get away with it, but that he couldn’t live with himself if he said yes. Remembering how God had loved, preserved, and blessed him put the brakes on any carnal inclinations and impulses he may have had.

Not so with David. After his affair with Bathsheba, he wrote these words in his penitential prayer: ‘Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight.’ (Psalm 51:4 NKJV) Who are you sinning against? God. Who is observing what you’re doing? God: the One who demonstrated the extent of His love for you at Calvary. Did God forgive David? Yes, and He will forgive you too. But David’s story proves that sometimes we have to live with the consequences of our deeds, and they can devastate not only us but those who look to us for guidance. Paul, the greatest of the apostles, acknowledged this truth: ‘I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.’ (1 Corinthians 9:27 NKJV)
