The Light Behind The Clouds

This morning I watched a sermon by Cornelius Lindsey and He talked about letting God be God. 

And one of the interesting points he made is that in the midst of our trials and test we do not listen to God. We are too impatient to sit before Him and let him talk. ( I surely saw myself here .) 

Fast forward two hours later I'm spending time with the Lord on a rooftop. The weather was actually really cloudy and no sun was peeking out but as God began to speak to me , the weather started to change the sun was slowly coming out. And a few minutes later the sun was shining so brightly I couldn't look up anymore . And then a huge cloud came and covered the sun but the cloud quickly passed over. However the sun was still shining. God tried to bring something home to me through this.

In our difficulties we may not understand what is happening,  we are serving the Lord , being faithful to hand obedient to him or we are waiting on him to do something about this situation but  things are rather getting more worse than better. And then we start to question God we get frustrated even upset because things don't make sense anymore.

But who are we to question God ? A child doesn't always understand what his parent does, but the Father is still the Father and he loves his child. So God is still God despite of what we're going through. He is sovereign !

No one can tell him what to do, or say to him, 'You have done wrong.'

Job 36:23 (NLT)

He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
Dtn 32:4( NIV)

God never said this walk will be easy he more so said we're  supposed to walk down the narrow path. But he promised to always be with us and to help us.

You've been in this situation for quite a time now and  you wonder when things are going to change. You're not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel.

However God says "Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them."

Job 37:21 (ESV)

Just because it is cloudy at the moment that doesn't mean that the sun is not shining. The sun is always shining !

Our afflictions are temporary but God's word lasts forever and the light will shine through the darkness. 

God will still the storm and he will cause those clouds to move, no matter what those may be.

In all this we have to keep our eyes on the true light , the light of the world Jesus who illuminates every darkness !

We have to walk in faith and not by sight, for it is only so that we can please him.

God wants to prune us and develop some things in us so that he can properly use us. 

So I encourage you to seek him even more in those times. Wait on him and let him glorify himself though all this. Continue to pray , worship and praise him . And also continue to do what  he has called you to do . Stay obedient to him ! We cannot afford to quit ! Quitting is not an option for us. We can do all things through him who strengthens us ! He is right there we just need to turn to him and let him speak.

Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living.

Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.

Psalm 27: 13-14 ( NLT)

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

- Casting Crowns " Praise you in this storm" 

( This song really encouraged me today to keep on going,  I thought I'd share it with you guys .)

Keep on going guys God is with us ! 

God bless you all !

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him "

Hello guys I'm here to share with you what the Lord showed me today and placed on my heart to share.

So I'm sure we all heard this familiar quote: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

In good times we can resonate with that quote very well, we think " Yes , God has been really good to me! " or " I feel so blessed , God has really favoured me ! " but in bad times when we get attacked and tests and trials come our way we think " God why have you left me ? " , " Lord everything's going wrong ! Where are you ? " But pay attention guys this verse says " in all things" 

"Wait hold does that mean even when I'm in this family situation right now, or I can't pay my bills, a loved one dies or I simply can't see where I'm heading to right now in life ? "

The answer to this question is yes, yes and again yes !

The Lord showed me that in a dream to make me understand.

You see as soon your faithful to the Lord,  you serve Him and follow his will for your life you have turned away from the kingdom of darkness and turned to the kingdom of light, to the kingdom of your Heavenly Father. 

The enemy sees you now as a threat to him because before you were buying his lies and falling for them, you were accepting sin without seeing what's on the other side and that's death .

But God has opened your eyes so that you can see the schemes of the enemy your not blinded anymore ! He can't fool you so that's why he's after you.

So we as christians have to expect to get attacked by the devil and we have to pay attention as 1 Peter 5:8 says 'Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.' 

The enemy is fighting against us and searches whom to devour and if you're not prepared he can easily to take control over your life . And if you don't spend time with God and in his word , he can mess around with you as he wants ! That's why it is so important for us to spend time with God so that we can get to know him and who we are in him !

God loves to spend time with his children , he loves us so much but he won't force us to spend time with him ! 

But when we are in the battle God is faithful he will bring us through ! No matter what we're going through he will not allow us to get harmed or consumed by our struggles. He has already given us  the victory ! And let me tell you guys there's something so beautiful that happens when we stand and believe God's promises for us , we do not only grow in faith but we start to praise God for his faithfulness in difficult times ! When we praise the Lord in such seasons it moves Him ! He is the one who brings us through and makes stronger than we were before !

And when we see brothers and sisters in Christ who are weaker we can help them to get through their situation. We can encourage and lift them up in the Lord !

And at the end we shall truly see that everything works out for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose,  not only for ourselves but for those around us too.

So, hang in there ! Cling on to God ! Hold on to his promises , because he got you , he's for you and he loves you immensely !

God bless you guys
