Today, I’ll be going a bit personal. I’m quite sceptical about it but oh well, when the Holyspirit tells you to share, you don’t do any other thing except to obey😆. So let’s get to today’s gist.

You know how you’re in church shouting “Gloreeyyyyy Lord, I trust you completely”, “I depend on you”, “I’ll obey your every instruction” in one instant,

then the next moment without any warning, you see things happening that is putting that “Lord I trust you”, Lord, I depend on You” to test. Hollup, now it’s not God that’s testing you or bringing those things your way as you might like to think. Scriptures let’s us know this but hey it’s a gist for another day. I just had to say that.

Moving on, if you’ve never experienced this or been down that path before, good for you. No like seriously, really really good for you😉. You’re blessed. Hahaha. We are all blessed jare. Well, I have experienced the scenario I gave above and it’s totally an awesomely trying experience.

For me, when everyone was hyped and saying happy new year, I wasn’t. Yeah, you heard that. I entered this new year and decade with so many thoughts running through my mind. Infact I entered this year worried, afraid, distressed, agitated and any synonym you can think of that resonates with this. You would think those fears would have gone by now with the way I’m always saying live the let go life and Rest in Christ but the truth is that it’s easier said than done.

Questions of how are you? with automated responses of “I’m fine” were my norm. But deep down I knew I wasn’t fine. Don’t get me wrong, I was super grateful for life and for a new decade but as regards the other things happening in my life I tried to put up a bold font but inside I was hurting. Gosh, it’s really not an awesome state but let’s continue, shall we?

I was distant. I was always to myself. But one thing that kept me going is God. Wait, is He a thing?😮 Nope, let me rephrase that, one Person that kept me going is God. That sounds better right? Lol. I kept on confessing my position in Him. See ehnnn, the devil tries to magnify the circumstances we go through as insurmountable but you know what? GOD BIG PASS THAT PROBLEM. HAHAHA, I had to switch to pidgin for a sec😁.

I found comfort in His word❤. Time and time again.

He has given us victory over that seemingly hopeless situation even if it doesn’t look like it at the moment. I’m not saying this because I feel like saying it so I can have something to write about but I’m saying it because it’s the truth. If you’re still doubting me, let’s take a stroll to the scriptures, shall we?

1 John 5:4 ” because everyone who is born from God has overcome the world. Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.(ISV)
Can you see that? I can’t be the only one seeing it. For the fact that we’re children of God alone, we’ve overcome the world already. Our faith in Christ helps us to overcome the world and all it’s trials and troubles.
Let’s see the next verse, “Who overcomes the world? Is it not the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”(ISV)
We are expressly told in the scriptures that we have overcome. It’s not that we will overcome, rather it is that we have overcome. Isn’t this enough reason to be joyful😀?

These days, I’m doing more of rejoicing in the joy that Christ has given me. Sometimes it’s not easy when there are pressing issues around you but you know what? We are spirit beings and so we are led by the spirit of God at all times. So, when those things are trying to choke you, what do you do? You rejoice, why? Because you’re victorious already.

I’m still as unsure of my future as I was😩 but I’m more determined to trust the one that knows my future. Over and over again, I’m reminded that He is very intentional about me. I hope you know in sure terms without any doubt that your Father cares too much about you, even down to the smallest details of your life.

 

Hope this post blessed you? Thanks for reading till the end. I would love to know how God helped you to deal with a challenge that looked insurmountable in the comment section.

I love you and as always keep being inspired and in turn inspire others. Until next time (I hope it’s sooner rather than later though😉), remain rooted in Christ.
