When you come to Christ it all sound easy and cozy. Especially, most pastors
who entice you with sweet words. They tell you that when you receive Christ all
problems are gone and you get instant promotion and prosperous. Prophesies are
made and you feel all puffed up seeing yourself possessing whatever you are
believing GOD for. But the main issue is between prophesy and a breakthrough.
It is true that when you receive JESUS you receive all spiritual blessings
in heavenly realm. Really if you are a mere Christian things just happen. Quick miracles are for the new Christians and none Christians to entice them. GOD
is all knowing and knows exactly what he deposited in you. He will not test you beyond your capacity and like He said I will not leave you or forsake you, so the Holy Spirit is at hand to support you. Do not be afraid to tell GOD to help you go through it.
I once did a
programing course in visual basic and the deeper I went with the studies the
more I realized that the key to a good program is the design stage. If you
properly design a program before you start the actual programing then you have
a better chance of producing a good software program. When it comes to JESUS it
is written that Christ was crucified from the foundation of the earth. It is
also written that GOD works according to his will and purpose. Before anything
was made I mean before the trees and the mountains were made GOD had a plan of
what was to happen. Your date of birth was already fixed as it is written in (Job14:5) even the date of your death and how it will be has already been fixed. My
breakthrough and your breakthrough have already been written down exactly how
and when it is going to manifest.
God is not caught un aware when there is a shock in our circumstances even
though at times it seems that way due to the panic that comes due to the afflictions
and the pain. I have had tough times, my mind is all over the place I am
looking at my wife she is hurting, I am hurting. I can see she is fighting the
tears, I am trying to be the strong one but I am also fighting the tears. No
matter how low I get, I try not to show my wife, you see GOD told us to encourage
each other. At times though I really do not know what to say my heart is ripped
apart by the one that I love dearly that is JESUS. I never thought loving JESUS
would take such a toll on my life.
Then I look about and everyone is getting along just fine they are busy sleeping
when we are on our knees day and night. Friends and relatives are prospering
left, right and center but we remain the same oh it hurts it tare’s my heart to
the core. But I am in too deep I cannot let go now. I look back there is nothing
to go back to. I look ahead at the glory set ahead and I have to push on just
one more day then another. I get very discouraged GOD told me yet again it will
happen by such and such day. The day comes and goes and nothing changes oh
there has been a delay once again. Why LORD why.
A pastor comes and tells us she was praying for us and GOD told her that he
has answered all the prayers we made for friends and relatives and other
people. We can see the evidence friends and relatives and other people are
prospering in their businesses even those working promoted others changing to
better jobs. The irony is some of those beneficiaries of the prayers make fun
of us calling us all sorts they think they are prospering because they are
clever. Then we reflect on JESUS the very people he was dying for hanging him
on the cross, spiting at him and hurling all sorts of insults. We are not the first and like JESUS we say forgive them father they know not what they do. Then I ask the
pastor what about us what did GOD say she tells us GOD just said he will do
great things for you and we have to keep on waiting. And she went further to
tell us that God told her that we pray day and night and GOD will visit us. You
can Just imagine GOD himself saying everyone else but us.
Honestly we were disappointed to some extent but then we were encouraged
that at least some people are getting breakthroughs. Our prayers are getting to
GOD after all. GOD does not make mistakes its only a matter of time. You know it is like a cash machine
when you are on queue the first one gets to the machine takes out cash then goes,
then the next goes and takes out his. You know that the queue is moving and
soon it will be your turn. Just like the cash machine who ever cashes out takes
his or her money ours is still intact When it is our turn we will also cash out what GOD has
deposited for us. Like us if you have gone through tough times and you see
people prosper ahead of you worry not GOD is like a cash machine soon it will be
your turn to cash out. Do not worry yours is still intact.
No matter what happens GOD is still good and faithful and his love never fails. Even though he hurts you he has a good reason, after all our real character comes out when we are hurt. GOD wants to build your character so that when the breakthrough comes you don't get overwhelmed or destroyed.
