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……

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...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

EXISTENCE AND RELEVANCE

EXISTENCE AND RELEVANCE Existence is the state of being existing or occurring. To exist is a privilege because many wished they were alive, but they are not. People in the graveyard are non-existing.
