YOUR CARRY OVER NOT CAREER OVER!

          YOUR CARRY OVER NOT CAREER OVER
I write on this topic to encourage souls that are depressed, frustrated and suppressed. Many a time we pray to GOD awaiting answers and he will be silent. I want you to know GOD’s foolishness is wiser than the wisdom of man. GOD’s way are not that of man, neither are his thoughts that of ours. His plan toward us is always of good and not of evil, to give us an expected end. Everyone desires an outstanding, colorful and excellent career, but many a time all seems not to go well. I noticed we find ourselves in hard situations at times just for GOD‘s name to be glorified. He said I will be glorified again. The Psalmist quipped though sorrow may last by night, but joy cometh in the morning. No matter the state of circumstances you find yourselves, just have it at the back of your mind, it is for the glory of GOD and GOD will be glorified. Our GOD is a good GOD, he said cast all your cares on me, I care. Who says GOD has forgotten you, he hasn’t; he knows what you are presently facing; he will be glorified again at the end. The bible said wait on the Lord, be of good courage and he will strengthen thee. Many in situations or circumstances do not wait on GOD, many are discouraged when they face hard circumstances, we shouldn’t be; only those that wait on GOD will he strengthen, they will mount up with wings as eagle, they will walk and not faint, run  and not be weary.

         Furthermore, when you are in circumstances wait on the Lord, those that don’t wait on GOD are always victims and losers. You see them running and fainting, they will be frustrated. Let’s consider this analogy, two different cases here; two university finalists sat for their final papers, with good and solid preparations and with high expectations. When the final result was released, the first carried a course over; he failed a course which automatically means he is not graduating that year. When he saw the result he was depressed at first, but he encouraged himself in the Lord and knew it’s just for GOD to be glorified. The second checked his result and also carried a course over; he also failed a course which automatically means he is not graduating that year. The next thing he did was to commit suicide; he killed himself out of ignorance. That is a bad thing to do when in difficult situation, killing yourself is not the next thing, He was in a school of thought carrying a course over meant career over. We shouldn’t be in that school of thought, rather we should be in the school of thought carry over is not career over. The first man sat for the course he failed the following year and now he is fully employed and settled. GOD was glorified at the end because he buys into the thought carry over is not career over. Beloved, no matter how hard your situation’ it is for a short time; it will pass away; don’t give up, be encouraged in GOD and wait on him. It is well with us……

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

HE THAT COVERS

HE THAT COVERS To cover is to hide and to conceal. A man cannot be wiser than his Maker or Creator. GOD is our Maker; He molded us and formed us into what we are. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Jeremiah 18 vs. 6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand O house of Israel. GOD sees all and His foolishness is wiser than man’s strength. 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than men, and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. A man that covers his sins prospers not; but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28 vs. 13: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Cain was a tiller of the ground; Abel was his brother and was a keeper of sheep. Cain brought fruits of the soil as an offering to GOD, Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat; which the...

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
