Everything Serves A Purpose


 

The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.                                                         -Proverbs 16:4


Being a child of God comes with many benefits and assurances. One of them is that everything that happens in our life serves a purpose; both good and evil.


With God, nothing is purposeless, coincidental, or by accident.  The God who created the heavens and the earth is not capable of an accident.  


There is also nothing that has happened to you that He didn’t allow- even the bad, hurtful and shameful things. And if He allowed it, then there’s always a way out.


No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

-1 Corinthians 10:13


We must understand that all of our experiences are either God sent or God allowed. This will help us to respond the right way. 


And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.


-Romans 8:28

God often allows painful situations in our lives for many reasons

  • To humble us

  • To open a better chapter in our lives

  • To draw us closer to Himself



We all go through moments in life that we don’t understand. The setback may not seem fair, but what you can’t see is how God is using it to serve His plan and purpose. Sometimes it’s not even about the incident, but what God is doing through the incident. Stay in faith. God is setting you up to move you forward!

Faith In Action

Image
One of the most discussed subjects in the Christian belief is the concept of faith. Faith is an interesting topic because without it no one can please God (Hebrews 11:6). It is the backbone of Christianity, and everything is built around it. Take faith out of the believer's life and he/she will become as an empty balloon, tossed to and fro, and carried away by the wind of life.  What is faith? Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the prerequisite for our walk with God. God demands it because it is through its lens that we can come to know of Him. Based on the biblical definition of faith, it is simply believing in something you cannot prove. But there are two aspects of it: intellectual assent and trust. Intellectual assent is when deep down within yourself you believe something to be true without argument. Trust on the other hand is moving beyond what you believe into actually relying on what you be

Are All Dreams From God?

Image
In one of my posts do you dream? , we saw that God is the source of our dreams. He uses dreams as a medium of communication to reveal things to us. However, not all dreams are from God. What I mean is that not all of our dreams are inspired by God. Shocking but it's the truth. And as Jesus said it's our knowledge of the truth that will set us free (John 8:32). So our knowledge and understanding of dreams will help us to properly deal with them. For  we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against  the rulers, against the authorities, against  the cosmic powers over  this present darkness, against  the spiritual forces of evil  in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 As Christians, we are in a constant battle with demonic evil forces whose ultimate goal is to see our destruction.  Can our dreams be influenced by evil spirits? Amid  thoughts from  visions of the night,   when  deep sleep falls on men, 14  dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all

Covid19: A judgement from God?

Image
In times like these, the only thing we should be spreading around is a message of hope. I'm here by the grace of God, to share with you a vision I received from the Lord on March 11th, 2020. In the vision, I saw chaos in the world. People were panicking and screaming as they ran around. All of a sudden, the sky changed and a powdered substance which consisted of different colors, spread across the globe in a rapid motion. As I kept looking, I saw two people flying in the sky towards the substance that was spreading over the globe. The faster they flew towards the substance, the faster it spread. I could hear the two screaming with a voice of HOPE that they got everything under control so everyone should stay calm and not panic. These two beings stretched out their hands and something went forth from their hand.  As soon as it mixed with the substance (with different colors) it was as though neutralization had taken place as it turned into water and hit the ground.
