CREATOR IN THE CHAOS


We all go through hard and tough times in our lives. In these situations we often tend to ask “why me?”or “is this really happening to me?”or “I wish this was just a dream ”, but the truth is you can’t change the past or its consequences but what you can do change is your next action. Many at times we wonder and even question God why He allows such situations in our lives. It  is true that it is hard to go through such situations. You  can’t always ask the question ‘why’ to God cause you just won’t get any answer. The truth is, it’s not about what we go through but about what we become through the chaos and struggle. Let me explain what I truly mean by saying this. Let me take the example of moses and the Israelites coming out of Egypt.

Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt. Hence God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea; and the sons of Israel went up in martial array from the land of Egypt.                                Exodus 13:17-18

If we see in this passage, it talks about how God leads the people not through the land of the philistines but through the wilderness. Maybe similarly, GOD is allowing the chaotic and hard times in your life so He can just make you much stronger than what you are now. The people of Israel, in the later part of their journey wage many wars and win them and only then they go to the promised land that God gives them. I believe if they had gone out of Egypt through the land of the philistines, they would have just died there. The ways that God is allowing you to endure is for the greater good and for showing a different aspect of God. It will just make you stronger.

There is also another truth to situations like these, say someone is coming to you and asking you for advice about a very similar situation that they are going through. If you have not gone through the situation then I don’t think there is anyway by which you can lead them in the right way of truth. Your path through the wilderness will not only build you, but maybe build someone else’s life in the future.

A WALK ON WATER

Hey, guys hope y'all are doing good. I’m going to be sharing what God is speaking to me in the blog every week, so stay tuned and come back to get a word of encouragement and revelation from God. Also, the blog is in the form of a podcast. You can find the links to the podcast in the podcast tab. All of this aside, let’s get to the blog. When you think of the season that we as the whole world are going through with the widespread of the covid virus, it’s as though we were given no time to even think about what was happening. It was like a wave that hit us, we never expected. A similar situation is where the disciples find themselves in Matthew 14:22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. The word immediately shows the transition from one of the greatest miracles performed by Jesus to a stormy and wavy sea they never expected. They had no time to process the miracle, ye

WHO ARE YOU?

Many questions in our life are unanswered, some to which we don’t even try finding the answers. ‘Who are you?’ is one such question. If we are to ask 10 random people this question- “who are you?”, I believe only 2 of them will be able to answer this question. I mean a definitive answer and not a vague answer. I was one of those people who didn’t know a definitive answer to the question ‘who are you?’. When someone was to ask this question, I would say I am that and this, but never know who I was. I didn’t even try to find the answer to this question.  There came a point in my life when I realized something that lead me to find the answer to the unanswered question of my life. As I found myself battling against the evil forces at work against my life, I realized that 70-75% of the battles I fought against the enemy was because I didn’t know who I was and this ignorance was the entry point for the devil to my life. After this, I realized that I was wasting my time fighting unwanted batt

KNOW THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE

As we take on each day of our lives, we sometimes find ourselves stuck in some situations or some emotions. There were times when I questioned God why all this happens. Why do I not find myself moving forward although the days just go by? In those moments of our life we just feel as though we have lost our way and just can’t hear the voice of god in our lives. In those places of our lives we just feel as though we are in the middle of nowhere. Maybe as you are reading this, you are in one of those moments of your life. But I want to encourage you and say that there is still hope in Jesus and that this situation is so much different when we see it from “God’s eye view”. Let me explain what I really mean by “God’s eye view”. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.                                                                                                              John 10:4
