OMNISCIENT

Proverbs 16:1,33

We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.

We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall.


An employee in a very large organization may have very good management, yet they could wonder why certain decisions are made or certain steps are not taken.


If that employee was bold enough or close enough to ask, they would be surprised at the reasons why the management took certain decisions.


One major reason is the information available to them which the employee is not privy to. It could be as a result of certain events or activities of some employees, a new directive from the authorities, a change of government policies, a financial implicating decision or even a legal/policy mandate.


The same way we may wonder why God allowed this or that to be or why He did not allow something else to be. Do we know as much?


Paul said:


1 Corinthians 13:9

Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!


No human really knows it all, for even when Christ who was from the bosom of the Father was here He said:


Matthew 24:36

“However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.


So, before you go worrying or crying foul, know that the Lord sees and knows what you don't. His thoughts towards us are for good.


Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.


Our God is Omniscient, He knows all and He has our best interest at heart.


Does this mean we cannot ask, or cannot give an opinion. No, the Lord is our loving Father, if you are born of Christ He will treat you like His child, He wants to hear from you.


Even when Israel was lost in sin He told them:


Isaiah 1:18

“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord. 

“Though your sins are like scarlet, 

 I will make them as white as snow. 

Though they are red like crimson, 

I will make them as white as wool.


The Heavenly Father never drives His own away, He always says "come".


Don't let things overwhelm you come to the Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus and find peace. When He says wait, please wait, it is always for our good.


What a loving Father we have.


May we make the most of this love.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same
