WE CELEBRATE JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR EVERYDAY -- 1 CORINTHIANS 10:31
Post date: Jul 16, 2015 1:13:11 AM
The crossroad you are facing today will never be the stopping point of your best desires, dreams, vision and efforts in life. It will not be your burying place. Everyone had experienced a crossroad before, many have crossed over successfully and you will also cross over, overcome the fears and be set forth for glory. You did not come to this crossroad intentionally; you were sincerely pursuing your God given dream, a very clear vision, and a strong desire to be what God said you should be. You were led by the desire of success, and you will never end on this crossroad.
As you proceed each day in all your life endeavors, all your investments to improve and to add qualitative values in your life, in the things you do and in the life of others, in every institution you are involved with and every association you love, by the grace in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, your efforts will never be in vain despite what you will ever experience in doing so.
Note that no good person in this world will ever go unchallenged by the devil and all his cohorts using all forms of known and unknown adversities in their knowledge and ability. Deploying all derogatory words and inappropriate phrases to describe your person and purpose, trying all they could to declare you irrelevant and pushing you completely out and under. Trying to frustrate and force you to quit; using physical threats, dangerous spiritual afflictions and hindrances, financial inadequacies despite what you know and earn; disgraceful delays in marriage, or troublesome and unhealthy marriage to publicly cause your shame; using systemic rejections, denials, childlessness, loneliness, frustrations and failures to unjustly cause afflictions in your life. Your God is not idle, your road to victory is not closed; God is taking you out from there.
The main reason this is happening to you is not because you are the worse sinner, all they want is to make you look like one, but remember, before they planed it, God had already made provision for your sins to be taken away through the sacrifice of the blood of Christ Jesus at Calvary. It is not because you are a colossal failure though they want to make you look like one, but remember your success is already in the hands and name of Christ Jesus your Lord. They want to push you to the brink of perpetual self-condemnation, self-destruction, sadness and depression just as they are, but Jesus Christ took all of your grief and nailed them on the cross while declaring your salvation and freedom. You will never be what they say in Jesus name.
As you reach a crossroad in your life, never forget to remember that there is a way out for you, that God had not abandon you, He is still leading and guiding each and every of your steps. Refuse to believe otherwise, refuse to give up, refuse to go back, determine to press on and to wait till you see the right and appropriate way, not the way of less resistance, but the way that Christ Jesus will take the lead for you to follow. Refuse to be in haste, refuse to be impatient with self, with God and with others, refuse to stop trusting God to show up in your life, and refuse to personalize and give reasons for the abuses that will follow your decision.
When Apostle Paul reached a crossroad in his life, he refused to give up his dream, to quit from his desire, efforts and refused to stand aside and look at others. He made this encouraging and profound statement “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” Philippians 3:14. God is making away for you to leave behind the things that should behind and to move on to claim the glorious things that are before you. God will never leave anyone without a direction to the next level of salvation, freedom, praise, joy, peace, glory and victory. This is the way, listen, hear and follow. “And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, this is the way; walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.” Isaiah 30:19-21.
