Theme: Coping with Aging Identity (Subjective Aging) (Part 11)

Anchor Text: Psalms 90:12 New Living Translation
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

Medicine 3:  Understand that everything is working for your good.

Romans 8:28 (New Living Translation)
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

The Omniscience of God allows Him to know the end of a thing from it's beginning. Therefore in His original plan for you, the issues that would seemingly overwhelm you were taken into consideration. These challenges were all accounted for.

However instead of taking them away, (because there is no champion without challenges) He ensures that those challenges work out to favour us. This include every bad and sad event you ever went through in life. Unlike we humans who are limited by the scope of the smaller picture which we see, God sees the whole picture. And He knows if He allowed the good when the bad came then you won't enjoy the best when it comes.

God does not bring evil to us but He causes these 'evil events' to 'work together' for our good. Notice the clause 'work together' there. That means isolated and single bad and evil events do not automatically work out good for us. However when these events are arranged and lined up in such a sequence that we ourselves cannot understand, God takes these series of seemingly negative events and transforms them into a mechanism and a system that works out good for us. It is the sum total; the culmination of these negative events that God lays hold of to form a tapestry of goroy out of for us.

That's why we should never give up when we face a single bad event or even two or three. The plan has taken all these into account and the plan is committed to ensuring the setbacks become your setups. The breakdowns will lead to breakthrough. The disappointment will bring about appointment. The rejection will become celebration.

God knows how to do these things and that's why He's God. You don't need to worry about how it's going to happen. That's not your job. It's God's job to make the plan, yours is simply to follow it.

So whatever I go through in life, it's working for my good. I may not see it or understand how it's working for my good but I know it is. That's why Travis Greene said that God is intentional. He's intentional about His plans and purposes for us. In the words of Tim Godfrey 'it's working (onaga)'. Not just working but working good for you.

It's a system that has been set in motion. Nothing tampers with it. God's word has set it to work for your good and that's exactly what's happening.

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
