When Life Becomes Overwhelmingly too hard

We are called to blossom in this world, however,  the cares for the things of the world becomes too burdensome and heavy over our shoulders that if one does not apply the wisdom of the Lord one may offload on the wrong bus stop. Instead of offloading wrongly one should examine the loads and find out why the loads are too heavy to carry. The Bible says that,
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."

 


Temptations comes from the things one permits to happen to one and the kind of people one surrounds self with. When one walks away from the path that leads to godliness and wanders into the path of perdition, knowingly or unknowingly, one immediately starts experiencing problems. So, before one loses hope, one should make some checks as in 2 Corinthians 13: 5-7 and through prayers and meditations, and asking God for revelations, God will make one to understand why the temptation is overwhelming. He is faithful to reveal everything to anyone who seeks Him. One must follow suit to make amendment immediately. So that the heavy load may be removed.

How to review one’s lifestyle for a positive change and better life


Ask yourself questions and honestly answer such questions. Just be open to the Holy SPirit as you go through this section.

1.       What have I done wrong? Correct it.

2.       Where did I go, why?

3.       Who did I meet and brought into my life?

4.       Who prayed for me or laid hand on me?

5.       Where did I fellowship before this heaviness?

6.       What is my temperament? What do I need to change about me?

7.       What is my attitude to prayer?

8.       How do I treat the word of God?

9.       How open am I towards godliness?

10.    How do I treat other people?

11.   What am I vulnerable to?

After answering these and more questions that would come to your mind and treating them with positive and workable solutions you will feel your load lighter. It would be a mistake to ask that the entire load be taken away. It is not possible; the loads came to you gradually and gradually they will leave if you place your faith in God with determination to leave the extra loads behind you.

The loads are normal to help us to remember that we are mortals. We need help from God.

THE STORY OF MANMA, THE CHILD PROVIDER

  Manma was just eight years old when she realized that she was born differently. She was born into a struggling family. She was the oldest of five siblings. Her father was always high and her mother was always looking for food and she had to stay home to take care of her hungry siblings. This morning she was seated outside in the cold looking down the earth. She sat propping up her knees and resting her chin on her shaking knees. She was sobbing with a stick on her hand and she wrote something on the sand. "Who am I?". Yes who is she? But, I see her in every street of Abak. She is always crying, sometimes I see her begging for bread, sometimes people send her on errands. I saw her the other day wearing tarred clothes and when I tried to say hello she ran. Who is this girl? What kept her in this misery? Who is Manma? Friends, tell me if you have ever seen her in your street. Please tell me more about her. What can we do to help her? Do not bother about her color because she c

THE MASKING CULTURE AND IMPEDING MINDS

They say it will save our lives, but it is indirectly killing our brain and creating spiritual separation. In a situation where you are in one room with someone you may not know very well and will not be able to recognize outside the workplace, then something is wrong. We should be scared! It is trending, but who knows where it would lead us. I have kept quiet about it while observing what is going on. “This mask thing is something else.” a friend said to me. Yes, there is something about it that needs to be said not that there is anything to be done about it. Because from the look of things there is nothing to do about it unless by faith people choose to do away with it. But people of faith are in a real war with the health industry, politicians, and the world at large. Since I do not want to go into politics because I am not one and I do not understand it, I will desist from addressing this matter politically. I am not in the health industry, and I cannot address any health issues si

Do not Destroy Your Future in one Ugly Experience.

 The beauty of a tree is ever visible in the compound of a conscientious rich person. Although not all rich persons value the life of a tree because some would uproot the tree in quest for power expansion However, a wise and a caring rich person would give space for beauty hence he employs the crafting hands of the landscaper, the florist and the flower tender to beautify his compound that enshrines his palace within the trees thereby respecting, giving life and bringing out the beauty of it. The shrub on its own is a hell of nuisance, growing and spreading branches everywhere even blocking the palace from view and making passage uncomfortable for the king and his entourage. Nevertheless the king loves the shrub as added beauty, that is why he spares a little, for the shrub best by getting a flower tender. The tender with his pruning share, cuts of wild spreading branches, and shapes the shrub how he would for beauty. He sits back to observe it and once he is satisfied with his wor
