WHEN YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND TRUST

AUGUST 21st - CAPSULE 21

TOPIC: WHEN YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND TRUST

BIBLE TEXT: Deuteronomy 29 vs. 29 – The secret things belong unto the Lord our God.


Listen to this letter I read from a missionary couple who lost their child: “Our younger son, aged 14, came down with a very severe strain of meningitis. My wife prayed for his healing, but we lost him. Our hearts are broken. We cannot understand why God would send or allow us such a sorrow and burden to carry. Can you help us?”

One thing is sure, God is too good to do wrong, and too wise to make mistake. When we have to know all details we are walking by sight, but when we can trust Him in the dark we are walking by faith.
“Without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11 vs. 6). Note that it doesn’t say, “Without understanding”. When we walk by faith we don’t necessarily gain understanding, but rather acceptance. 

Confidence in God is His highest purpose for our lives. When we can trust and accept without questions, we move into a dimension of greater peace and intimacy with Him. Someone is probably watching you as you walk through this storm to see how your faith works, and if your relationship with God will sustain you. It will!


Prayer: Father, help me to put my trust and my faith in your word no matter the matter in Jesus name.

Insight: Those days of questioning and grieving will be over, will pass; eventually you will say like Job, “When I am tried, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23 vs. 10).

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
