Wait for Him for it!

One of the random courses I took in first year was an introduction to human psychology. This course was very interesting and I learnt a lot from it. One of the drawbacks of having a psychology course is having to write a test made by a psychologist. My professor mentioned that one of his colleagues did his PhD on how to set multiple choice questions for exams, and in my head I thoughy "am doooommmmeeddd!" Praise God I did OK in that course. One of the videos we had to watch was a study done on kids. They would take kids one by one in a room with no windows but with cameras for the experimenters to view the kids. The experiment was to give kids one or two marshmallows and telling them to wait for a bit longer. The incentive for waiting was getting 10 marshmallows by the end of the waiting time. Most of the kids took at least a bite out of the marshmallow and some went ahead and devoured it. Do you see yourselves in these kids, I know I do.
God is a father, a caring and a loving one for that matter. The revelation I got about the kids with marshmallows is that us as young adults and as adults go through those types of trails and experiments very many times in life.  Mind you both the options were good things one was just significantly better than the other, 2 Vs. 10 marshmallows. God gives you an option, He tells you as His daughter/son wait on me and you shall receive more than what you have at hand. He asks for your submission to His will, for patience on your end. “Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” Psalms 27:14.  He tells you to be strong and to wait for Him, because there might be some people that tell you “ you are not sure if the 10 marshmallows will ever come so better eat the 2 in front of you!” But you tell them, respond to them saying “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint” Isaiah 40:31. Add to that  by saying “ God has never failed me, its not in His character to be untrustworthy, so I shall wait on my God but thank you for the concern!”
Notes:
  • Wait on God and you will receive more than your eyes can see
  • Stay strong and keep on trusting Him
Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
