Try it again... Try it With ME!

So many of us have attempted to do so many things ourselves but we have failed. The reason you failed when you attempted that thing is that you attempted it on your own. You didn't Consult or Discuss it with God first. You went along and did it by yourself, thinking that you could do it and achieve it by yourself, but you couldn't and Failed!

This is where you successfully played yourself.

Image result for proverbs 28: 26 nltThink of it like this. Making decisions without God in the centre or consulting Him for His help Support and Guidance are almost like speeding in a car without a seatbelt, at 170mph. Yes, you will get an exhilarating feeling, but you will eventually crash and realise that it was both silly and stupid to think that being in a speeding car without a seatbelt was safe, sensible, and the right thing to do. God wants you to take the back seat! Let Him reveal to you His Amazing plans for your life.

God is Greater than our plans. He is Greater than the decisions we make. He is Greater and Greatly to be Praised!! God knows what you will choose, He knows what you'll do before you do it. He knows when you will ultimately surrender and seek Him and His Will. God wants you to trust Him! Many of you know this, yet you continue to anticipate that you can do it alone, with the belief that you can do it on your own, on your own terms, when you want; the reality of it is 'It Simply Will Not Work Out, Without God!' 🙅

The bible says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His Will in all you do, and He will show you which Path to take". (Proverbs 3: 5-6)(NLT).

How do you make decisions in life? Whether it is making a decision on what to do regarding a relationship, friendships, or a family matter, how do you execute God's Will and His plan for you and all areas of your life? 

Well...

You can PRAY. Remember Philippians 4: 6 Prayer is your greatest tool and source of help in life. Prayer is God's gift to us, His children. In my previous blog post, 'The impact of Prayer', I stated that "Prayer should be your First go to, in any given situation! This includes decision making and the life choices you make. Ask God: 'Lord is this something you want me to take on, is this something that will show others your goodness? Is this the right career path? Are these friends good for me? Is this relationship right?

Ask God for His direction when making decisions, when you do this you can avoid that heartache, that broken relationship/friendship, wrong road/path, wrongdoing, and many many other problems. When you do this, you will see God's perfect plan for your life, you will see that everything will begin to fall into place, everything that you do will have a purpose and you will begin to live your life in accordance to His Will!

Pray to God for guidance. as well study His Word, the B. B, Beautiful Bible, to view what it says about the decisions we make and the choices we are faced with when making these. Proverbs is a book in the B. B. that was written to give instructions, give insight, and wisdom to All who seek such things. Proverbs 1: 1-4 and 2 Timothy 3: 16-17 both teach us about God's scripture.

Looking at these eight tests for decision making, do you or have you put into practice any of these? How can you implement these into all aspects of your life?

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...

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!

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...
