Choose Hope

 Praise God.

Hebrews 6:19

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul,firm and secure.

Hope in Desperation.

In times of desperation,we have two choices.we crumble and lose sight of all hope, which, in itself, is a devastating choice. Or,we can choose faith in God like Shadrach, Meshach and Abed'nego in Daniel 3:16-18...It doesn't matter how desperate our situation is,we can still choose to believe that God has our best interests at heart.

Walking by faith is a choice.its not always the easiest choice though.It May mean leaving your comfort zone, but it always gives God the Opportunity to strengthen you.

No matter what you come up against, it is hope that feeds your faith.

Let us make the choice to put our hope in God.

Have a Blessed Day.

Power of Politics

 *ELEVEN PRINCIPLES YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND ABOUT POLITICS BEFORE YOU STRESS YOURSELF:*

1. Nobody has your interests.

2. Everybody is chasing their own interests.

3. Dealing with politicians is like sleeping with tigers; you must always have your eyes wide open.

4. In any Political equation, there’s always someone being used. If you can’t find one then it is you.

5. Serving Politicians is like being a bandage on a wound. Once the wound is healed your usefulness ends. Politicians don’t recognize and reward value they recognize their own needs and you are only as useful as the lifespan of their need for you.

6. In Politics never mourn or wail more than the bereaved. They will get the reward while you inherit their enemies.

7. In Politics, in any event that other interests conflict with your own interests and you have to choose, always choose yours.

8. Never cross oceans for Politicians; you will drown and the best they will do is give a benevolent speech at your burial, lie to your widow and children and eat your food. Politicians will never cross the streets for their foot soldiers.

9. Don’t kill yourself for their ambition or put your life at risk for any politician.

10. Above all, Family and Health are things you should never use to attack a man. Politics is never that serious.

11. Lastly to all the Youths, it’s too risky to sacrifice your Career, Health, Personal Character, Social capital, and integrity in pursuit of short term and temporary rewards, offered by Politicians. 

Now you know. Let's love one another and put aside emotions and feelings. I can tell you what you are shouting about today at the top of your voice,a few years to come will not make sense and you will see that you really wasted your energy and time.

Rest: God is in control

Known to the unknown

Moving forward. 

Acts 12:7‭-‬8 NKJV

Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.”

Herod is out on a rampage to persecute the believers. He has just put to death James the brother of John with the sword and now he has put Peter in chains in prison under heavy guard. 

But the bible says that constant prayer was being offered to God by the believers for Peter. 

Sometimes in life we feel like we are in prison and we are chained. It feels like everything we desire to do is met with opposition and we just can't seem to move forward. What then do you do?

I love the fact that though Peter was chained between two soldiers and with another soldier standing guard at the door, he still had the peace to sleep. Reminds me of Jesus sleeping in a boat in the midst of a storm. In the times when it feels like you are stuck and can't move forward, do not panic or worry, instead find the peace of God and rest in it. 

It is only when you rest in his peace that you will be able to move from the known into the unknown just like Peter did. In fact Peter was so at peace and in heavy sleep that the angel sent to rescue him had to strike him on the side to wake him up. Peter was actually broken out of prison by an angel, now that's the unknown, that's different, that's the impossible made possible by putting faith in God. 

It was such an impossibility that when he went to the believers who were at that time in prayer for him, they did not believe that he was the one at the door. 

This one thing I know, sometimes God will allow us to get stuck so that he can come through to show himself strong on our behalf. As he takes us through that journey, we must be willing to let go of what we know in order to trust him withe what we do not know. 

Reflective Thoughts. 

When you seem to be stuck, do you let worry control you or ate you confident to rest in the peace of God because you know he has got you covered?

What is the known the comfort zone that you ate afraid to let go of?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Why are you afraid to let go, is it that you don't truly trust God or you don't believe that he is able?
