TRUST AND WAIT FOR GOD TO ANSWER YOUR PRAYER;

 

In our need some time it takes a grace to believe that God will give you the desires of your heart when you ask for; as human waiting is more painful. We don’t have patient to wait we are easily getting discouraged, and wondering if God will answer your prayers.  The only thing which comes direct is to become angry and asking why God is blessing others with the very thing you’d like to have. How can you, as a believer, thrive in the midst of a painful season of waiting?

But the book of Psalms is full of examples of God’s people pouring out their hearts to Him. One psalmist wrote:

 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;

In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness;

My soul refused to be comforted (Ps. 77:1-2).

 

 

 

 As a believer we need to understand that you need to Pour out your heart to God and allow Him to encourage you (Ps. 62:8). Confess any frustration, anger, discouragement, or bitterness. If you refuse to express your genuine feelings to Him, you won’t experience the full measure of His comfort.

You need to trust that God has a purpose for His delay. While you wait, God works behind the scenes on your behalf. Give Him time to arrange every detail so you will receive His best (Ps. 84:11-12).

But You need to continue serving the Lord according to your talent ; remember that always God wants you to serve him first before he serves you.  Ask God to supply your needs. Then prepare yourself for surprise which is God’s answer.

By preparing yourself, you accomplish two things: you demonstrate faith that God will fulfill your desire, and you prepare for success once your dream comes true.

 Look for ways to enjoy life. I know that it’s tempting to put life on hold until God meets our hearts’ desires. But Christ’s presence is all we need to have abundant life (John 10:10).

 Be thankful it is working, it is working believe me: Would you like to feel more satisfied with life? Write a gratitude list or verbally thank God for specific blessings. You will feel happier about your current situation while you wait on your dreams.  But do you know that, once your dream comes true, it will have its own challenges.

 

The Apostle Paul discovered a more solid base for contentment. In Philippians 4:11-12, he wrote: " I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need".

 

 

Ask God to show you how to be content in your current phase of life. Then, when He gives you your heart’s desire, your contentment will be firmly grounded in Christ. The Lord doesn’t want you to be miserable while you wait for your heart’s desires. Make the most of this season of life, and entrust your dreams to the One who gave them to you.

 

Believe me if you these three; belive and if you can wait God in his way will answer your prayer (s).

IS GOD YOUR ROAD-MAP?

• LET GOD CONTROL EVERYTHING.

As human being many times we want to be in control of everything in our lives. We never ready to welcome God to control our life for the better ending. We should remember that God is calling us to release that control to Him. By allowing Him to work on our behalf, we will  receive  blessing in the  process.

When we release ourselves to him we are in position to rejoice; Philippians 4:4-9 “Rejoice in the Lord Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus".

Why dont we allow God to lead?

We should remember that our thoughts are not right. We walk around thinking things that are going to lead us to destruction. We are what we think. And if our thoughts are out of control, then we are out of control. The good thing is that “If God controls our inner part; therefore the world cannot control the outer part of our life.”

 

This means the source of self-control is not ourself, not our willpower, not our resolutions, or even the help us to get from our recovery or accountability groups. The source of self-control is God; the only way to control ourselves and to really do what you want to do is to submit our will to God and do what He wants uou to do. Therefore do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment

even Jesus despite being the son of living God he gave the control of his life to his majesty when he said  "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." and he even  commit himself to him when he said "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." (Luke 23:33-46).

Therefore let GOD BE THE ROAD MAP OF OUR LIFE;

IS IT TRUE THAT WE ARE CARRYING STONES IN OUR LIFE AGAINST OTHERS?

 

 Mmmmmmmm , "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." (John 8:7)

Do you remember the source of this quotation from the bible? It is from the story of the woman surrounded by a mob of angry men, all gathered round her each with a stone in their hand. Jesus saved her from stoning by challenging the enraged men, saying, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." (John 8:7)

Have you tried to evaluate yourself, you will agree with me that each and every one of us carries a stone. The stones may be in form of our resentment, angry feelings, a thirst for revenge. We are full of these things because we can't get what we want, and in our frustration and anger we have to blame someone else and ready to punish others and not yourself.  

 

The problem is that we are ruled by our desires. Wow if we are not ready to control our desire the end result is being angry, resentful then cultivating a thirst for chaos and revenge.  By doing so we are automatically  carrying a certain stone. 

When Jesus challenged the crowd to produce someone without sin to cast the first stone, he was demanding that someone step away from the crowd and take responsibility for the violence himself.  surprisingly  even those people who consider themselves as perfect people were reluctant to take this step, and so in this story we find that nobody came forward to cast the first stone.

 The natural human response when someone offends us is to condemn them, which does two things.

• First, it gives rise to hate, which results in either escalating offences against each other, or resolving our conflict by our blaming and then victimizing an innocent scapegoat.

•  Second, when we judge and condemn another, we deflect attention from our own contribution to the conflict. While it is often hard for us to see, we are almost always partially to blame when there is conflict that offends us.

Be careful judge not:

IS YOUR LIFE FULL OF POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE THINKING?

 

It is true that negative thinking produces negative living.  One scholar wrote that, "While on the other hand it is true that positive living comes from positive programming. Positive living is not freedom from our problems." and at the same time the Bible remands us as we read Job 14:1 says, “Man that is born of woman is of a few days, and full of trouble.” and Paul writes in Galatians 6, "A man reaps what he sows. therefore what is put into the mind is what comes out of the mind"

so what should we do? We need to understand that positive living comes from right thinking. We are what we think. We are the product of what we think, and what comes out of our minds is the product of what goes into it. therefore We should think right about ourselves and We must think right about others.

Above all the great thing is that positive living comes from positive prayer. And we must pray with the right attitude.  Therefore the joy of positive living, I think, can be enhanced by positive prayer and positive attitude which will develop a winning altitude. How high we soar largely depends on our attitude as we face the circumstances and situations of daily life  therefore we need  an attitude of change and attitude of forgiveness, love, care, encouragement and kindness.  John 13:34-35 says “A new commandment I give to you that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another.”

 

Enjoy your day:

IS SLAPPING YOUR PARTENAL THE ONLY SOLUTION TO END YOUR ANGER?

 

One writer once wrote that “As a woman, I can shout at the top of my voice, but a slap might come involuntarily when I am emotional. As a man, you should control your emotions” but is it necessary for any individual to take a moment and slap your partner? To me other many behavior analysis’s have shown that allowing for any circumstances in which slapping is done   we must agree that is a serious problem that threatens someone  own emotional stability, as well as the stability of your romantic relationship if you are in relationship.

We know that some people love violence, and slapping to them is ok but that need to know that by doing that you put your beyond repair. Slapping is one of the ugliest things to do in life against your paternal or other party;

Let us practice that it’s never okay to slap or hit your lover, that stand will hold yourself more accountable, not make excuses for yourself, and force yourself to manage your angry feelings when they overwhelm you.

We need to know that even if your paternal cares about you but when you slap him sometimes some man cannot take it hence  the man slap a woman in response because — let’s be real — a man’s reaction wouldn’t usually be to slap. If provoked and pushed too far, the average man’s angry feelings would more likely lead him to throw a punch. We also rarely see a man slap back because we hold a double standard when it comes to this kind of violence: It’s a little bit okay when a woman slaps a man, but not at all okay if a man slaps a woman. Enough with the double standards, folks: no one should ever hit anyone else, regardless of the circumstances.

So when we have differences what should we do to control our anger?

Calm down. Do not act in the moment of anger.

 Talk when you feel better.

 If you cannot take it and you still want to hit Find something/an object as a punching Solution

 If you are a short-tempered person, walk away from the person until you are calm.

 You need to expel that negative energy that has built up and transform it by doing something positive.

Cry if you must. Some people do when they are angry. The whole point is to release the negative energy before it wells up and spills over.

Have a “right relationship.” “A right relationship is based on four building blocks: Love, trust, respect and understanding.

Above all forgiveness is what holds these building blocks together.
