The vision is for an appointed time...

Am sure some people are wondering when I became a Pastor, well atimes you just have to preach to yourself when things dont seem to be turning out the way you would have wanted them to.

I was a bit down yesterday after i got home from work because i was overwhelmed by the way things were happening around me, to every other person except me. I was online with a friend in the UK yesterday when he encouraged me with a verse of the scriptures in Hab 2:3....the vision is for an appointed time... all i could do was just encourage myself in the Lord just like David did.

You know, for the mere fact that things are not working the way we want them to doesnt mean things are not working at all ! God sure does has a purpose for everyone of us, but the only way we can key into that purpose is by letting go, and letting God.

He knows and understands all things, infact he has the blueprint for our lives such that anything done outside of His blue print for our lives inevitably leads to frustration.So I have come to one conclusion, I AM GONNA LET GO, AND LET GOD. I can almost hear someone saying 'its easier said than done' Oh yes, you are right. But wouldnt you rather deny youself pleasures and get God's best for you?

I have made up my mind to stick with God no matter how long it takes for Him to get through to me, and I know that it aint gonna be easy, but I know that His grace is sufficent for me.

Wouldnt you rather do thesame?
