The Three Words

Where are you?

Interesting it is to read in Genesis, God reaching out to Adam and asking him "where are you?" The all powerful, all knowing, ever present, self sustaining God reaches out to humanity for fellowship. 

The three words shows the depth of God's heart for his creation. God didn't abandon the world after creation and after the fall but rather he let it run according to his plan and purposes.

In Genesis we can see God intervening to bring judgement for the wickedness of man that was growing and it came to such an extent that God wanted to stop it with a flood. Only one man found favor in the eyes of God and it was Noah. (Genesis 6:8)

Though God wants fellowship with his creation but he does not tolerate sin in anyway and He dealt with the sin of humanity through Christ Jesus. 

Our relationship with God has been restored through Christ Jesus. Through our relationship with God we have fellowship. And it is this fellowship that enables us to know more about God. 

As we have fellowship with God daily we come to a greater understanding about His character, a greater appreciation of His love towards us.  

Walking with God daily is fellowship with God, it is an amazing experience that everyone should be able to do. The fundamental thing about fellowship is conversation. Have you had a conversation with God today?

Conversation in today's term, what I mean is have you said 'hi to God' in prayer. Literally as followers of Jesus Christ, no day should pass by without saying 'hi'.

The fact that God asked Adam 'where are you?' is the same question that I believe God is asking all of us. It is through this conversation (prayer) that we can see God speaking to us through the Holy Spirit and His word.

Often we ask God, where are you? in painful, confused, desperate, anxious, fearful moments but the reality is God has been asking this question all along "where are you?' 

It is through our relationship and fellowship with God that enables us to walk through the painful, confused, desperate, fearful and anxious moments. 

No doubt that as we have a living relationship with God, God will protect us from walking down the path of pain, confusion and fearfulness where it can be avoided. 

While some moments are destined for us to grow, to mature and to come out stronger with God by our side. 

I encourage you my friend as you are reading this, may your relationship with God be stronger and may you be encouraged. 

God's Plan For Our Life

Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man's heart but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

God has a plan for all of our lives, no matter what age, gender, race or country we are from. The best thing about God's plan is that His plan never fails. He sees everything from the beginning and the end. Perhaps today you are at a stage that you are confused about your life, not sure what to do next but don't worry you just need to follow God's lead. 

We all have different plans for our life, its good to have a plan but make sure that God is in the plan as well. Don't leave God outside the plan of yours. Sure enough sometimes our own plan fails or we go through a series of disappointment and that is no surprise to God. Sometimes we go through disappointment so that we will learn to trust God's plan for our life.

No matter what you have gone through in your life, God's plan for your life can never be defeated. What He has planned will be accomplished. Learn to trust God in the most challenging times and He will bring clarity into your life. He will help you to make the right decisions, He will bring the right opportunities in your path to move you forward.

What is impossible to men is possible to God. Though we have our own limitation in our thinking and perhaps even our surrounding but nothing can limit God. Nothing can overrule God's plan for your life, you just have to have an open mind before God and allow Him to lead gently. He will be with you in every step that you take. 

Let no confusion prevail but let the peace of God protect you and guide you in every step. Surrender everything to the Lord, pray about it and walk boldly and confidently that God will guide you and is guiding you.
