"You don't get in life what you want,you get what you believe"
~Operah Winfrey~
Everyone wants something in life but the big question is: why don't we get what we want?
Why do we get lower than our expectations?
It's will be unacceptable when you go to a restaurant and ask for a plate of chicken and you are given a plate of goat meat,now the part that will get you really pissed is paying for a plate of chicken and getting goat meat instead,Nah,I won't accept that but when I go to a place that I am not paying a dime for any food offered there,then I can accept whatever they have.
My money gives me the power to choose,so why then are we Christains,why then are we sons of God, yet we lack so many things we want and the greatest tragedy is that,we sometimes even lack what we need,so sad!
Have you ever read Galatians 4:7
Now you are not slaves like before. You are God’s children, and you will receive everything he promised his children.
Sometimes I read this scripture and feel like crying because it is not a reality in the life of so many Christains
How many of the promises of God are we actually enjoying?
There are so many promises in the scriptures that if we are enjoying today,we will be enjoying God and life so much and trust God,the problem is not Him,it is You and I.
There was a time that I didn't fall sick for a very long time and I said to myself "I miss falling sick"
Don't say I don't have sense or maybe you can say so but the truth is, I fell sick some days after I said that.
It is one thing to believe God so much and it is another thing to act like you believe God,it is one thing to believe every promises of God and it is another thing to act your believe,it is one thing to speak God's words,it is another thing to fit those words.
Many times,we scream I am a kingdom financier,I cannot be stranded but our mentality has never changed from one that is not broke,you are so stingy that you are stingy to yourself.
We go about saying we cannot fail but we don't act like one that cannot fail,we don't do things that successful people,oh I am so guilty of this charge,Lord have mercy!
We sleep all night,we play all day,watch movies and eat so much,we hardly plan,we take the day as it comes,we don't try to shapen our day,I don't think that's how successful people do,even writing is easier when you plan what you want to write,we get writers block most times when we don't plan before picking our pens,that's how much planning is necessary to achieve success.
It's easier to pick the Holy book and scream all of God's promises but the difficult part of it is fitting into these words.
We have the great need to believe God. Sometimes we’re tempted to think that if we saw some great miracle then we would really believe. We need to believe God because He tells us something in His Word without requiring we first get a miracle.
The New Testament tells a story of a Roman soldier whose servant was dying. He heard that Jesus was a man that healed the sick, so he approached Jesus and said, “Lord, my servant is sick. Can you heal him?” Jesus responded, “Take me to where he is and I will heal him.” What the soldier said next, stopped Jesus in his tracks. The soldier responded, “You don’t have to go to where he is. All You have to do is say the word, and I know he will be healed” (see Matt. 8:6–8). The Bible says that when the soldier said those words, Jesus “marveled.” In other words, Jesus stood there in complete, jaw-dropping awe.
Jesus then turned to the crowds like, “Hey, did you hear that? Did you hear what that guy just said? I have not seen faith like that in all of Israel.” What in the world did this soldier do that caused Jesus to stand there in jaw-dropping awe? The soldier simply believed God. He believed that if Jesus said the words it was absolutely going to happen. God loves it when His people believe Him. It’s the simplest definition of a word that is used all the time in Scripture. It’s called faith. When God says something, we believe it.
This man believed Jesus so much that He doesn't need Jesus to follow Him home,there was not an iota of doubt in this man,he acted his believe the moment he went home after Jesus confirmed that His servant is healed.
What do you do when you hear God's words to you,do you believe and stop disturbing yourself about your problem or you still go about trying to help yourself since you've decided to believe that Heaven help only those who help themselves,well I am telling you today that,God only help those who trust in Him completely
God's Word, like God Himself, is unique. God is eternal and His Word stands forever.God does not change and His Word does not change. Because it comes from God,who Himself is truth, the Word of God is true.
Let your action fit every of God's words that you declare.
Do not act the opposite of God's promises. Follow every precept that He had set for those promises to be a reality and If He says be Still,then stay still... When His words says "You can do all things through Christ" stop trying to do all things by your own strength,you are going to fail trying to do all things on your own
Act the word
Believe the word
