WHEN FRUSTRATION IS YOUR FRIEND

Many-a-times we find frustration just hanging out with us like a friend who would just not let go. Frustration is one of the emotions every person goes through and the one that really is not cool. One would do anything to get out of it. But the truth is that it's not so easy to come out of it, especially when it involves JESUS  in the scenario. Why I say this is because, God gives us many promises in our lives and many at times we don’t see all those promises come to pass.

 Often times it is that the fulfilment of these promises are the need of the hour in our lives. It is at these times when we get really frustrated about the whole move of God. As this continues we just tend to doubt and question the very existence of the creator Himself. It is very common and many-a-times we do not know how to come out of this.  

Sometimes we’re in the place of Abraham where God promises Issac in his life and all chances of Issac coming into the world was nearly around 0%. Still Abraham was able to go the process and see the fulfilment of his promises.let me guide you through how God thinks we must see the whole ’frustration’ scenario.
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.                                                                                                  Romans 5:3-5.      
If we look at this passage from romans 5, we would see how Paul says that he rejoices in his suffering.we can compare the suffering to the frustration as it is a form of suffering we go through in our minds. Paul goes on to say that suffering(frustration) produces endurance and that character and that hope, but at the end of all this he finally says hope does not put us to shame because God’s love is in us. What does Paul mean by saying this.well to know why he mentioned love we must know about loves…
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.                                                 1 corinthians 13:7

Here we see Paul mentioning that love believes, hopes and endures all things.this means the very reason why Paul mentioned love in romans 5 is because love is what can get you through the suffering as it endures all things. Not just any LOVE but the Love of God that went to the extent of dying for us. The way out of the whole frustration problem is ‘THE LOVE OF GOD’.

Instead of looking at the frustrating situation with eyes of hatred start looking with the eyes of hope and love in Jesus. When we start doing this we will go through the process that god is taking us not with unwillingness but with the attitude “I AM DOING THIS FOR GOD” that is filled with love and joy. All we need to ask God is to fill us with more of His love in our hearts that we will not show the same frustration to others around us. 
This will just be our way of saying that it does not matter what goes on around I am still going to show love and move with God and find my way out of this with THE KING OF KINGS by my side.

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
