Your Circumstances and Your FAITH!

Happy New Year Guys!! 2018 Will Be A Prosperous Year! In Jesus Name. Amen 🙏

It's been a lengthy while since my last blog post. It was never my intention to spontaneously stop blogging, towards the end of the year 2017. It Is A New Year and I Can Say that I Am Back For This New Season of God's Awesomeness and Greatness. Let's make 2018 a year of Recognition, Appreciation, and Acknowledgement for the Word of God, His Power, Goodness and Love 🙌

And the word says: I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for. Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you. You will seek me, and you will find me because you will seek me with all your heart.  Jeremiah 29:11-13 (GNT).

First of all what does the word Circumstance actually mean. Dictionary.com defines it as 'the condition or state of a person with respect to income and material welfare'. Despite of this definition, your circumstance is what you think of it. So, it can be what's hindering you from a certain area in your life, hindering your progress, accomplishments etc...

But the Big Questions are:

1. What have you been doing about your circumstances?

2. Who is watching over your circumstances? You or God?

3. How strong is your Faith when circumstances appear?

4. In the midst of the adversity, how do you withstand the test?


There is one thing that we inevitably forget when are faced with adversity, and that is God is BIGGER than our circumstances!  

When going through a situation or a condition so adverse and it seems like every possible way out is hopeless, impossible and you kind of, in a way, become pessimistic, always thinking the that the worst possible thing will happen.

But,

God remains the same, His nature is unchanging. Remember, your circumstance does not change who God is nor His character. He Will and Always be For You, even when you completely feel hopeless and you don't think He is for you. Do not let your circumstance obliterate God's Unconditional unfailing Love for you. He is an eternal God; He cares for you, He is always with you, He undoubtedly knows what you go through, and He most definitely does not leave you when you need Him the most. Job 10:12 reminds us of God's unfailing Love.

🟎When God is in it. There is No Limit 🙅

My Testimony:
Image result for deuteronomy 33 26-27Towards the end of 2017, I had a few difficulties with finances amongst many other things whilst attending university. Despite all the many difficult and troubling situations I was experiencing, I didn't for one second forget how far The Lord had brought me and the strength He gave me in the midst of it all.

I reminded myself that God certainly knew what I was going through. I knew He had a plan, "...plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.  Jeremiah 29:11 (GNT). And in that He certainly did. I knew that regardless of my circumstance I was not going to be overcome, burdened, or be disturbed by them or let my Faith be weakened. So, I gave my circumstances to God. I reminded myself that although I was going through what seemed like the most difficult thing, God was using this to take me to a deeper level of spiritual maturity. I trusted that God will bring me out and keep his promises, and so He Has.

My Faith kept me and I rose above and conquered ever single adversity that I faced. Matthew 11: 28 and 1 Peter 5:7 and Deuteronomy 33:27 are verses that constantly reminded me that I serve a God who is Intentional. Who is my Refuge; my Strength; my Support, Answers my Prayers!

"Don't let your faith be paralyzed by your Circumstance"- Pastor Michael Todd (Instagram: iammiketodd).

For anyone going through hard times, difficulties, problems, God has every single thing under control! 'God doesn't give you what you can't handle. God helps you handle what you are given'. There is a Massive difference in that statement. Until you understand that, you'll continue to question God and why the things in your life continually happen. Remember, when you are weak that's when you are made strong in God. Declare it over your life! It's Not over! God will come through. Do not be stagnant in your circumstance, but depend on God because He Will Bring You Through It. Strengthen your faith in the midst of what you're going through.


Regardless of what you're going through God will and is able to Bring You Through It❗❕

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for answering prayers. Thank you for hearing our cries, our deepest cries Lords. Thank you for not abandoning us in the lonely hours. Thank you for the word which reveals to us the truth. Thank you for the support you give us, Love you show us, and strength you provide us when we are weakened. Lord, thank you for your unchanging character. Lord, help us to remember your promises. Help us to remember our circumstance does not compare to who You Are. In Jesus Name. Amen!

Bad Company Corrupts Good Character!

Yes, there is a need to avoid Bad Company. 1 Corinthians 15: 33 says this " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.” (NIV). Do your friends corrupt your morals? Do you allow your friends to corrupt your morals?  It is important to choose wisely who you allow to influence you. We are humans and are easily corrupted by the company we keep. We need to prevent others bad influences from causing us to become a bad influence on ourselves and others.  Friends can either help us or harm us. Only You can choose the company you keep! God made the statement in His Word, the Bible, which proclaims " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.”  (NIV). This statement reminds us that we are a building board for Jesus and we must not Waiver and stumble off the path that God has set for us. Bad company can have a great influence on our walk with God. It can trick us into thinking that we can keep the wrong type of company and continue o...

Giving! How Do You Give? Is it in your heart to give willingly?

When giving to others; whether it is your money, time or things which have sentimental value to you, how do you give this to others?  How do you feel towards giving and how do you feel when you give willingly? Remember this: In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said:  ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’  ” (Acts 20:35) (NIV). Is it in your heart to give willingly? God Gives! So we must be Givers . Psalms 32:21 says "... the righteous give generously". (NIV). When we give, our giving must stem from God's unfailing Love. The most well-known passage reads, For God so loved  the world that he gave  his one and only Son..." (John 3: 16) (NIV). God sent to earth his 'One and Only Son'! This passage holds such an importance about how God Gave! God is generous and He wants us to learn to be generous and Give, to be more like Him. Giving requires having F...

Maintaining Balance in Our Lives! Managing Your Time!

Do you experience pressure from friends, from family, or work which disturbs your peace of mind? Have you felt that there simply isn't enough time in the day to do all that you would like to do? Do you feel like you simply can't manage/balance your time because of so and so? Many people do find it difficult to do this. This is completely normal because we do live in a hectic world. Countless people seek complete serenity and balance in their lives. Some struggle because they are trying to find the balance, peace of mind, on their own, but it is merely impossible to go through life trying to solve your own issues and situations. It is accepting to seek help. Help from God! With God The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit you are never alone. When the feeling of overwhelmedness exhausts you, you need to begin looking at your relationship with God and also your faith. Do Not allow your Faith to become less because of your temporary feeling or situation! Instead, let y...
