I am waiting for a testimony.
It will certainly come.
I am trusting God.
I have faith.
These are some of the slangs that we use as Christians. Even non Christians have heard it so many times that they just go along with it.
But really, if we do that which we said that we did, how come we are not getting results?
At this time of the year, I think a lot of us look at the year and we are already starting to take account. We ask...what have I achieved ? What do I want for the new year?
In the process of answering that, we realise often, if we look really hard, that most of the faith that we had was not in God! It was in people around us!
You wanted a job....you THOUGHT your uncle would help you get it....or your BOSS would like you and recommend it.
You were hoping that the doctor will heal you. You were hoping that the bank will give you a loan to start your business!
Your expectations were on PEOPLE....not God!
When you are waiting on God, your eyes are on Him .....when He uses people, you still give Him the thanks....and there are no disappointments!
What do we get when we look into the hands of man for solutions? HEARTBREAK, DISAPPOINTMENT, SORROW!
Someone who cannot take care of their own live does not deserve our 100% trust.
I have heard of people who committed suicide because the person who was supposed to HELP THEM failed!
You don't have to commit suicide to show us that your confidence is in that human being....God knows where you are looking...To Him or to the hands of men!
You crazy Galatians! Did someone put a hex on you? Have you taken leave of your senses? Something crazy has happened, for it's obvious that you no longer have the crucified Jesus in clear focus in your lives. His sacrifice on the cross was certainly set before you clearly enough.
Let me put this question to you: How did your new life begin? Was it by working your heads off to please God? Or was it by responding to God's Message to you? Are you going to continue this craziness?
For only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God. If you weren't smart enough or strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it? Did you go through this whole painful learning process for nothing? It is not yet a total loss, but it certainly will be if you keep this up! (Galatians 3:1-4 MSG)
When you are looking from the mountain top...you find it easy to spot the little things moving on the ground. When you are on the ground and focused on what is on your level, you will miss the big movements on the mountain tops!
If you need God to work on your behalf, don't expect Him to work through the reason whom you choose and humanly adore. It's up to God to do what He says He will do.
Now, stop wasting precious time looking and fearing on anyone, even your hubby, uncle, parents, boss!
They are only human. Even they need God to fulfil the little promise that they made to you!!
Save yourself heartache in the remaining days of 2014... Change your expectations of human beings......they can fail. Let your 100% focus be on God, leave Him to sort it the medium through which He blesses you.
Are your eyes really on God?
When you say I AM BELIEVING GOD, are you waiting on Him or on someone else? He doesnt fail those who are waiting on Him....
