21 Days of Awesomeness!

So where do I start from?

Should I shout? Should I scream? Should I keep rolling on the floor?

I really don’t know but Dear Lord, You are just too wonderful.

Lord, there are so many things You do in our lives that we take for granted. Like the free air we breathe, our friends and families that cost us nothing whatsoever and even those that cost us money, but most importantly for life. Lord I thank You for all these.

Then occasionally You do landmark things that totally blow us away.

I have been reminded today that You are still a miracle worker. That no matter how bad the situation might be, no matter what "they" have said, no matter how impossible it is - You hold the keys to all doors. You hold the hearts of all kings/decision makers/bosses in Your hand and can bend them to Your will (Prov. 21v1). You are still very much in the business of performing miracles - Oluwashindaara!

My testimonies are numerous but am not going to run through them. In fact I can't - they are innumerable. I just want to use this means to tell anyone reading this to NEVER GIVE UP ON GOD! Delay is never denial. Weeping may endure through the night but Joy surely comes in the morning. Sometimes things do not work out the way we planned. Other times things just happen that hurt us deeply such as loss of loved ones, loss of job, broken marriages, relationship issues; in all these I know it can be difficult to see hope, to see the bright side but just have faith - luckily even a tiny bit of faith is enough (Matt. 17v20). We need to understand that some doors have to be shut for new and better ones to open. Sometimes you need to be kicked out of your job and your comfort zone for you to land where your prosperity really lies.

Of course we have to make efforts. We can’t just sit down and expect miracles to happen. You can’t expect to get a job without trying. You can’t expect a girl to fall in love with you, without you first asking her out. You can’t expect to win a contract if you don't send in a proposal. We first have to try and then God will crown our efforts (Prov. 3v6). In the words of presidential aspirant Dr. Ben Carson, we have to try our best and leave the rest to God.

I am not perfect – far from it. I am more like a serial sinner, constantly falling God’s hand yet He keeps having my back. Each time I fall short and a 1000 times and a 1000 times again He pulls me up. This is really not a motivational speech, this is an encouragement. Just try God. Genuinely try Him and see the change in your life. I challenge you this day - try Him for 21 days and see if your life would remain the same – mine didn’t. Just 21 days - what do you have to loose anyway? Like they say he that is down needs fear no fall!
