(…Life is simple when you see your
greatest fear becoming your daily joy and makes you stronger.
In a diversified world filled with diverse stories of the unimaginable
experiences. As man has never known the plans of God as to where you will be
born and where you will feed. This explains why all have different pattern of
stories and thoughts. It’s not an easy task to face the ‘glamorous’ face of the pressures of this life. You keep being a
patient man trying to wait to “eat the fattest bone” sometimes you don’t know
when you will just eat the real physical bone. Then another person gets a warm
welcome for his life achievement and you’re still there. You get so sorry and
feel like giving up the race of life. Down, you say to yourself “what a life”. FACT: LIFE IS WORTH MORE.
Life is very simple but complicated.
How? Life is simple when you see it in your wildest dreams and your greatest
imaginations, but when it comes to living it, it becomes a barricade. A man
plans his life as detailed as possible: when I finish my secondary or high
school, I will move to the University immediately, after that, get a good job
and marry, have kids and live a good life, as simple as that. Some don’t have
the intentions of moving further; having in mind ambitions of grooming
themselves in a business enterprise or a lucrative day to day pay job. Looking
at this, who will say how you would do that? You may get to experience
difficulty in raising your fund for a start. Practically obstacles might arise
even when you try to save some cash as time goes on. You might not be even sure
that when you start the business you will spring up within a tip of an eyes
blink. It’s all not certain. But then God is there right. Yes! Perhaps you
prayed to God for help and Waller- no answer. What will you do? Its not that
your prayer has not yet being answered however it might be a test of your faith
or it might not be the right time. This goes also to all who have one case or
the other. God wants us to be patient. “That’s all”? It’s not all, because life
is not a direct 1-2-3-4-5. One might say what of those born with a silver
spoon. Yap, that’s right, those people have the capacity because someone has
paid. That dose not guarantee a full smooth life. May I draw the attention of
the reader to the phrase “the rich also
cry”! 
Being rich doesn’t mean you are not faced with challenges or
difficulties but in a way resources help to cover up the basic human needs as
to living. To you whom your sweat was paid for do it unto others by paying for
there entangling sweat (helping them or uplifting them. Randy Alcon – Treasure
principle of giving quotes “God Prospers
Me Not to Raise My Standard of Living, but to Raise My Standard of Giving” 1 Timothy 6:17-18 “Command
those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their
hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly
provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be
rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they
will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so
that they may take hold of the life that is truly life”. (to help the lesser
people so that there can be a balance).
Now to the reader, you are dared and
will be dared by the dread of complicate in
this life. “Your complicate is determined
by your level of competency”. You might want to say, why is my life stocked
at this point. This in view means life has become a; 1-2-3 ---- ----
4 --- - -----5 - -6---? Wow, if you notice the view, the intend was
1-2-3, which is smooth but when about to get to 4 there was a dash claiming up
before step 4, then to 5 and so on. At this points you feel - is this the life
you ought to live. You have done so many things but could not work out.
Obviously the plans might be as I said before, go to school, get a job and
marriage. Probably that’s your plans. But reverse might be the case. One get to
finish his high school, no higher institution, or get to finish university and
no job or finish university and get job but the income no where to think
of marriage. You get married, no hand to get satisfied – pay your bills, eat
the food you want to eat, put the cloths you wants to where, your children
going to the schools you want them to go. It’s not easy but life is simple.
Why do I keep repeating “life is simple”. Yes because “A life without God is
life an egg without a shell”. Even in the mist of trouble, trails, temptations,
distractions, depression, oppressions, pressures of life, His peace is what you
need. A friend of my heart always reminds me of this “there is no competition
in destiny”. It’s difficult to accept as true but it’s the truth. Your friends
have gone far already. I could recall a person talking about his friend. He
said when he called his friend the reply was, “you are not in our level and
that’s why I can’t walk with you again, please understand”. You know, people
get to a place where life seems to reject them.
Perplexed with life?
Wondering in the parts of darkness,
when the light has shown in the East. Begin your journey of grace and unending
peace. If you know your creator (God), go back to Him and ask Him to show you
the purpose of your existence. You did not invent yourself so you don’t know
anything about your direction and destination but if you know your creator, you
need not know the direction or destination because he will absolutely take you
there. “A Godly life is a life of
purpose” Abraham john
You might have thought of giving up, you might have analyzed a little end of
your life, you might have said you will always be an averaged person, you might
classify yourself as been and will be poor for life. You may have ever
regretted existing or a day you felt like dying or quitting. You may have made
a mistake you think you have done the worse. You may have lost what you
cherished the most and you feel so Mara (bitter). You may have been struggling
with habits, or have had several partners. You may feel you have lost it all.
But no, you have just started to exist. Only if you give Jesus your all (Rom.
25) He alone can set you free and give you peace to break the parcels of life
and climb the heights of victory and smile the smile of joy and dreams the
dreams you live. Life is simplicity in obedience to the will of God.
Who said life is not simple. The eternal glory awaits all who trust and obey.
After life on earth, eternity is determined – Hell or Heaven”?
Who said life is not 1-2-3-4 !!
Psalm 139
New
King James Version (NKJV)
God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of
David.
139 O
Lord, You have searched me and
known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from
Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall[a] on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall[a] on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my
inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b]
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b]
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are
Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
19 Oh, that You would
slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20 For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.[c]
21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20 For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.[c]
21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and
know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
