I think the
hardest part of writing this blog is when I am going through a tough time and I
am struggling. You see I have days that I feel I can conquer the world and then
there are days that I feel powerless in my battles and the fight for my daughter
feels like it is going nowhere and then I have so much on my plate that I get overwhelmed.
I guess this is normal in life. We have our ups and our downs, but how do I write
to you my friend and motivate you when I am down in the dumbs.
I was
telling my friend that my battle seems endless in my subconscious and from time
to time I catch myself talking to the Holy Spirit of the unfairness and the consistent
manipulation that is taking place. You see when someone openly does something,
yet it is hidden in the guise of another reason. And I can see the intentions
behind it where someone else might not. It drives me nuts. Then I have to go back
to the drawing board and start over.
This morning
the Lord placed John 7:37-38 on my heart. On the last day, the climax of
the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is
thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the
Scriptures declare, Rivers of living water will flow from his heart”.
At first, I thought ahhhh… prosperity. Our Pastor was
talking about this yesterday. So, I wanted to quote some of the things he said.
But I realise now that what the Holy Spirit is saying is a bit deeper than
that. Jesus said, “Anyone who is thirsty”. This means anyone who desires more, who
seeks more, who wants more. You were never designed to be a mediocre everyday
Christian. When God made man and woman He said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill
the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky,
and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
He did not say be content and take a vacation. He said be “fruitful”
and here Jesus says, “Rivers of living water will flow from his heart”. What does
this mean? I am glad you asked.
This means that you are more than what you think or believe.
This means He who is in you are much greater than he who is in this world. This
means you can do anything through Jesus Christ. This means that God knows your
circumstances and He will intervene. He will be there with you and take you through
it. God is saying that no weapon will prosper over you and He has already
blessed you. You need to take the next step. You need to act in faith. You need
to trust Him. You need to be still and know who He is. You need to walk by
faith. You need to dream bigger. God is not a mini-God and He surely did not
have mini dreams when He made you. You are made in His image, and you have
infinite power living in you. This is like having a helicopter and you opt for
the bicycle.
Be fruitful and multiply. Take that step and let God guide
you. Trust His promise and let His Word be the lamp to your feet. Be the best you
can be at what you do. Never opt for mediocre but always desire more of God and
always give Him the glory. Just as He lifted me out of my pit of despair so
that I can be voice that reminds you that you are wonderfully made and that nothing
is impossible for God, He will lift you out of your pain. We must do the
difficult and He will do the impossible. I have to stay in the fight and not
give up, and He will make all things work out for good. I have to do my job to
the best of my abilities and God will increase my favour in my workplace. I have
to start my podcast and write my book and God will increase it. I have to walk
by faith and not by sight.
My dear friend. God is the God of impossibles. He is the God
of the underdog, and He is the God of the faithful. Come with me and let us
infiltrate this world with Godly wisdom and change lives and show people who
Jesus is. Let us be fruitful and allow the Holy Spirit to let steams of living
water flow from us.
Have an awesome day.
