When we tried to make life work without God
Always watch where you
are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out
by mistake- Pooh's Little
Every day, many people are
prevented from accomplishing their dreams due to these imaginary obstacles. Looking
around, there are numerous instances of fears that keep people from getting
what they want every day. Because of the fear they fail to watch where they are
going why because the world is the way it is because it's the world that
we, in a sense, have asked for.
We are reminded that God doesn't
change things right now but he told us
to be careful in whatever we are doing;
his main job for us is to give us what we asked for:
When we tried to make life
work without God. It is easy to step on
a piece of the forest that was left by mistake. Why do we do that? Probably
because we've all bought the notion that there's something more valuable, more
important, than God. For different people it's different things, but the
mindset is the same: God isn't what's most important in our life.
We we don’t care about him
we end up in bad experience which includes the painful results due to the fact that we refused
to give God access and influence over our lives.
Revelation 3:2 Be
watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I
have not found thy works perfect before God.
Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have
the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as
they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief:
for that is unprofitable for you.
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore,
and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Ephesians 6:18 Praying
always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Therefore every day is a
day of preparation in a Christian's life: preparing for the return of the
Lord. This is the great hope of every Christian's heart - to be
found fully prepared when the sudden, unannounced return of the Lord Jesus
takes place. Like the maidens who watched over their lamps, or the
servants who watched for their master's return, we are reminded today to keep
our lamps burning likewise. Let us prepare ourselves in watchful teaching and
obedience, in suffering and in our love for each other in the Lord; otherwise
we may step on step on a piece of the
forest that was left out by mistake by the devil
GOD IS GOOD.
''Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever'' -Psalm 106:1

The late Owen A. Turuka
It is true that one of the
most difficult things to deal with in life is the death of a loved one who you
used to share all the joy and pain together; With all the pains which
comes with the loss of love one bible reminds us that;
John 14:1-4 “Let
not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s
house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to
prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you
know the way to where I am going.”
Romans
8:16-17 The
Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and
if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we
suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
2
Corinthians 5:6-8 So
we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we
are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good
courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
1
Thessalonians 4:16-18 For
the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice
of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in
Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will
always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
2 Samuel
12:23 But
now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to
him, but he will not return to me.” (King David speaking of his infant son who
died)
John
11:23-26 Jesus
said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him, “I know that
he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I
am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet
shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do
you believe this?”
1
Corinthians 15:54-57 When
the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality,
then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in
victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The
sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God,
who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians
3:20-21 But
our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus
Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the
power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
1
Corinthians 15:20-23 But
in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who have
fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the
resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all
be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first-fruits, then at his
coming those who belong to Christ.
Philippians
1:23-24 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is
to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the
flesh is more necessary on your account.
1 Peter
1:3-5 Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy,
he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled,
and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded
through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 John 3:1-2 See
what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children
of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did
not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not
yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we
shall see him as he is.
Revelation
21:1-4 Then
I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth
had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for
her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling
place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people,
and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear
from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning,
nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Psalm 23:4 Even
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
Psalm 116:15 Precious
in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
John
10:27-29 “My
sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal
life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to
snatch them out of the Father’s hand.” (Jesus speaking)
Romans
8:38-39 For
I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things
present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else
in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Romans 14:8 For
if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then,
whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
Revelation
14:13 And
I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may
rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
“They that love beyond the world cannot be
separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.” ~
Williams Penn
”When the time comes
for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from
God’s love.” ~ Charles
H. Spurgeon
”It is better for me
to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the
earth.” ~ Ignatius of Antioch
“He whose head is
in heaven need not fear to put his feet into the grave.” ~ Matthew Henry
“Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.” ~ C.S. Lewis
