Why Complain When You Have A Father


You going through tough times instead of complaining to a friend go to GOD boldly and tell him how you feel. You see the children of Israel pissed off GOD because they were busy complaining amongst themselves, when they were supposed to kneel down and make know their request. After all they had seen with their own eyes, what GOD was capable off. The way I look at it GOD knows your deepest thoughts. You see we human beings do things for two reasons the real one and the one that looks good. Unfortunately it is the for the reason that looks good that most people do things. So GOD always wants to know the real reason behind it.

Well in actual sense he knows already but for your sake he may allow some hardships to test you. Deuteronomy 8: 2-3 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. You see when squeezed we tend to bring out who we really are. When you say LORD I trust you, then GOD says OK lets see how much you really trust me so he will allow some hardships if you stand to the end you get the crown. It is easy to say you love GOD when all things are going well so you may have to prove your faith in GOD even in times of drought.

They said in Greece there was a race in which the winner was not necessarily the first one to get to the finish line; But the one who finished with his fire still on his torch. So what ever you do don't lose the fire. Most Christians get to the finish line without the fire. They give up or compromise and lose the fire along the way. As it is written no temptation is greater that our ability to handle and all are common to man. Imagine Abraham was asked to sacrifice his only son that he waited years to have. Yet he did not hesitate because he knew his GOD. Some of you even to give out a tiniest thing that GOD asks you is a struggle, and you expect GOD to use you mightily. As it is written in Isaiah 1-19 If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the best of the land. To keep the fire burning you have to be willing and obedient. especially if you want to stand out then obedience is a must.

GOD is a father who hears and answers prayers he has vast resources and he is more eager to give, all we have to do is receive. JESUS rightly put it that if us humans give our kids what they want how much more will our father give to those who ask. Stop Complaining and keep asking. It is written ask and you shall receive seek and you shall find and knock and it shall be opened to you.

Always seek GODS wisdom in these tough times if you try to do it yourself you will not succeed. If you have not received the Holy Spirit you better do, the Holy Spirit empowers the believer. It is written we know not what to pray for but the Spirit which knows all things intercede on our behalf. Like in my case the Holy Spirit has been constantly speaking to me to give even when i had nothing to give. The Holy Spirit kept demanding a lot of things off me. I kept obeying not because I am good at it but because I have the holy spirit which enables me. You see the Holy Spirit was positioning me to receive as it is written give and it shall be given.

Let us hold on to JESUS I know sometimes you just want GOD to hurry and finish what ever He is doing in you.GOD is so good, though He is silent at times. Just remember all things work together for the good of those who love GOD and who are called according to his will and purpose. Pray to GOD to give you a thankful heart no matter what the situation is. Stop complaining and start thanking GOD instead.
