GOD Is Like A Cash Machine

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.
