OBEDIENCE

we all go through situations in our lives where we are left in situations where we just so desperately want to do a certain thing but God says something that’s just idiotic or foolish to our little brains that God has given us. Let me explain this with an example again from Moses’ life.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. “As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land.                             Exodus 14:15-16

In this passage, we see God talking in a very different way. He literally is asking moses “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.”. well  the people of israel is in the shore line and they have no where to go and God is saying”GO FORWARD”. God then continues to say to Moses “DIVIDE THE SEA”. There are two things that God is asking moses to do here

1.go forward
2.stretch your hand and divide the sea

and both of these at that moment are technically or logically speaking “IMPOSSIBLE” to do. It is this kind of situation that I was talking about in the beginning of this blog. Often times we do not understand the true essence of obedience when it comes to God. With God it is not about what you achieve out of the act of obedience but rather about the willingness to do the act itself. The example of Moses will makes it much easier to understand.

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, 
Exodus 14:21
As we discussed earlier, God asked Moses to divide the sea. We know that no matter what, he can never divide the sea but he still obeyed God and  did what he could and that was stretching his hand over the sea. When Moses did his ‘stretching’ part as God commanded, God did the ‘dividing’ part and the people of Israel went through the dry land to the other side of the sea. 
When it comes to God it is better to just blindly obey God irrespective of whether it is possible or not. Just do your part and He will take care of the rest.why I say it is better to do it this way is because; if not , then God will force you to do so and that will not be good.

WHO ARE YOU - PART 2

Does the answer to who are you end with finding your personality? No, the answer has a bit more to it than just finding your personality. There are 5 important aspects of each person’s life that you must know to have a complete understanding of who you are. These 5 aspects will also help you get a better understanding of the calling God has kept over you. Although it will not precisely tell you what your calling is, it will give you a clearer picture of the calling than what you previously had. With the help of your personality that you wrote above and the holy spirit, you can easily find these 5 aspects of your life.  The 5 aspects: • Likes • Dislikes • Talents • Strengths • Weaknesses Before I get into the five aspects, I want you to understand something. What I’m going to tell you is not some formula or method by which you can find your calling. Because I can’t tell you what God has for you. Only God can do that. Therefore, I ask of you that you sit alone and spend tim...

LOVE: PART 1 - GOD'S LOVE

The God we serve, Jehovah is full of love and in fact we can call himself as love for he sent his one and only son JESUS who is the complete representation of LOVE. When Jesus was on this world he showed love and only love. He preached and walked a life of love. He was and is the perfect example of love in flesh.  All of us are very familiar with the blockbuster movie, Avengers: Endgame. The whole marvel Avengers infinity war and endgame is based on the concept of the five stones that hold in them the most powerful forms of energy. The movie clearly explains how the one with the stone becomes the most powerful being in the whole of universe. As you are reading this you would probably wondering why I am talking about the avengers and the stones, well it is for you must know that every person in this world has one form of energy that’s way more powerful than all those 5 stones combined and that is; THE LOVE OF GOD Many- a-times we fail to realize the fact that we hold...

Spiritual Secrets | Unforgiveness |

  Unforgiveness is one strong emotion that most of the people tend to carry in their hearts. It is not only a strong emotion but also a very negative one. It is one emotion that has the power to destroy us completely if we allow it to. It is one emotion that we must never carry but we always tend to do because of other people’s actions and reactions to certain situations.   Why I say unforgiveness is very dangerous is because, let’s say that you have not forgiven your friend for betraying you in some situation. You carry unforgiveness in your heart. Although it is your friend who has wronged you and you have done nothing wrong, unforgiveness will only pester you and not your friend. You see this unforgiveness will create a hatred in your heart whenever you think about that person or come across a similar situation. This hatred will soon become anger and will come out and burst out in places and situations that you don’t expect resulting in problems only in your life. And the p...
