"Christians Mournful Thoughts.... into the New Year?"

To the rest of the world,this is Christmas celebration time and hoping this yuletide will be a blissful and pleasurable one,however among us the Christians this season should have more values than these.The significance of Christ's birth  compare to  mere celebrations we see around us these days remain a wonder.Many celebrates the birth of Christ as if they have different Jesus.
I will like to remind such people that the Bible says in Heb.13 :8 "Jesus Christ,the same yesterday,today and forever", implying no other Jesus than the one who was born,crucified,resurrected,ascended up to heaven,coming back with great power and glory and in the company of His angels. to judge both the heavens and the earth.
In essence, mere celebrations provides no equal match to the personal testimony of our salvation in Christ Jesus.
Where are many Christians today?
God asked Adam,"where are thou?" inside the garden of Eden before they were driven out of the paradise! In the same shoe,the Lord is asking us Christians today "where are thou in the vineyard?"
Many of us as Christians are far below divine expectations on our 'living the life' and this prompts this question times and again..
Many  have lost the glory,the way the children of Israel lost the Ark to the philistines  on the battle field.
Many mourn,the way children of Israel  mourned that the Lord was no longer with them. ".............During that time,all Israel mourned because it seemed the Lord has abandoned them" 1 Sam. 7:2 NLT
Many mourn because they have lost the power of God in their lives.
Many have lost their anointing power.
Many no longer hear God speak again.Many no longer sees visions.
Many mourn because of their lost positions and territories.
Many altars of prayers and intercessions have become a pile of ruins.The enemy now glory over such altars causing the children of God to mourn.
Many mourn because the enemy is cheating them.
Many mourn because of their lost first love.Many mourn because they knew of their emptiness that  they only brag emptiness..
There are many who mourns that the Lord has abandoned them to their fate on marital issues and homes.

The children of  Israel mourned the Lord's absence for twenty bad years! They cherished the memories of the Lord God in their midst and they longed for the period of restorations.
Twenty years look quite long,how sad it was for them to mourned in and out of twenty years?
It must really be a sad situation for them.
Many of us are in their shoe,we also wanted the lost glory,we want happy reunion with our God.We have tasted Him,have felt Him,have seen His great and powerful deeds,we desire to be more victorious,we desire higher grounds but instead to claim them we were deprived,hence the mourning!

Samuel asked the children of Israel to forsake their foreign gods, their idols and their wayward livings,he asked them to draw near to God.He admonished them to stop the year in ,year out mourning phenomenon of  God's absence in their midst.They obeyed and seek God and the mighty hands of God descended once again and they crushed their enemies to dust in battles.

In year 2012,i am assuring you that if you draw closer to God  He will draw nearer to you,then you can rest upon His cares,His voice shall be sweet to your ears,you shall be victorious,and devil and his agents shall mark you out,even if they don't,the Lord with you,you shall wage victorious battles.
Stop the agonies today,invite the God  the children of Israel mourned His absence.He is a living God,that why they mourned that He rejected them.
Give it a try and you soon get back to the proper place God want you to be and should have reached in life.
You can stop the silent weeping and mourning today!

In the midst of Life's troubles....:It is Well...,now and always!

Life is full of mountains and valleys but God sees them not!
Life's issues are the results we have, dictated by our reactions to those mountainous challenges we encounter in the process of life's growth.
We can no longer shy away from those issues of life,they are too glaring and daring?We have  come to grip the facts of life through them, and all these been revealed in every seconds' life of the adolescent the world all over, and this ever has remain some untaught lessons for the posterity to be wary of.The ups and downs in life,paved way for  the better understanding of what life brings our way.We recognized the good and the bad because we live the life and this is a prove that we are no spectators but an active participants in the world of troubles..
Life is not to be kept because it is not our property,only meant for our use! Honestly i want you to know that once you are born into this life,you have become a property of many parties.I may also want everyone to believe that life is no property of anyone,it belongs to God the giver.We do hear people said this erroneous words that,"it is my life...i will do whatever i want with my life....i am in charge of my life.....etc."Such statements are wrong notions about life.Remember Lot's wife who chose to disregard the instruction of the angel,who instructed them not to look behind,she did and become a pillar of salt!
God is the source of every living beings,source of every lives.He want us to live the life but not own it,otherwise METHUSELAH WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY!.
God ever want it to be well with you in this life,what he purposed for you are nothing but your  wellness  and well-being.There is no mistake in God's agenda for creating you and me and He was right to make rooms for our well being.You ought not to be afraid of this life because you own it for God.Has He sent you,go,go,go!Has He spoken,published,published! Has He bids you anything in this life,why hesitate? Go where He has sent you.Why take notice of whom you are living the life with,at the expense of him who has given you this life!Do you know you live here to qualify for another life?Eternity is the real life,strive to qualify and enter into it,make it,make it,it must be a struggle against every forces that don't want you to get there,not a coercion.You will get there  while you refuse to be coerced up into uniting with them.It is only then you can live beyond Methuselah!
Jesus warned that, he would loose it that want to keep his life but would gain it that lose it for the sake of the kingdom of God.Luke 9:24
In the midst of all life's troubles,Christ has assured us victory over all,as if that is not enough,He has assured us his presence with us NOW and ALWAYS. Mathew 28:20
Then brothers and Sisters,IT IS WELL NOW AND ALWAYS. The master is here and ever here with us in all difficulties of life.Trust Him and believe His unfailing words.
Choose Him!Why, my sons,daughters,friends,families,uncles,aunts,fathers and mothers should you want to remain in the valley of darkness,submitted to the devil.You cannot remain in the valleys of coercion for long, what an irony of life,even when you dwell too long in the valley of life it soon beget more mountains.
Have you call upon God in any situation of life threatening you? The remaining of the days in the year are still locked with bountiful testimonies.Bigger testimonies may be in the coffer for you.
Do you feels unloved seek Him that loves even when multitudes of faults abounds,what a testimony that Jesus loves you!He will flood you with Joy.Talk your heart over to Him.Pour them out to Him,He listens and will ever listen,discern His mind and wills, having done all this,should you hesitate to obey?No you shouldn't.Carry out His instructions and It shall be well with you!
The only language life's troubles understand is the words of God.Let Him speak into your Life.God be with you,more testimonies are still locked up in the remaining days of the year. Don't Give Up,it is WELL now and ALWAYS! Shalom
