GOD IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL.

I have read a very interesting story in social media about a king who had a servant whom he had hired to protect him. One day, the king went hunting accompanied by his servant. As they went on with their endeavor, a wild animal attacked the king. The servant struggled with the animal. Luckily he managed to kill the wild animal. However, the animal had already bitten off one of the king's figures. The king was very bitter with the servant, and he confronted him despite the effort he had put to protect him

After the king had healed completely, he decided to go hunting as usual. However, before they started the journey his servant got a report that one of his parents was gravely ill and he was needed promptly. The servant left to his parents home, but the king did not back off. He decided to go hunting alone. Unfortunately, man-eating monsters found the king alone in the jungle. The monsters wanted to tear the king apart but before they did, they decided to inspect the king. Luckily, they found out that one of his figures was missing.They had to leave the king alone because they only fed on a complete human being.

When the king returned home, he told the story to the servant.The servant thanked God for what he had done. The king questioned the servant why he thanked God. The servant explained to the king how God made his parent sick so that he could be away. If he had accompanied the king he would have been killed by the monster because he was complete.That was God's plan.

The story reminds me of Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things.God works for the benefit of those who love him, Who have been called according to his purpose."

In every situation that we undergo we should thank God. If we truly love Him then he is doing it for our best. Sometimes we complain and ask God many questions. However, we should understand that God worketh for our good because he loves us with unbound love.You might be sick so that some day your testimony can make someone believe in God even more.You might undergo hardships so that people may understand that God can deliver.You might lack now so that in future you can make someone understand that God can provide. Everything works for the glory of God to those who love him. Let's learn to appreciate God even when everything seems to be going wrong. God is in control always.

God's love

THE NOBLE DECISION


The decisions that we make in life dictates the kind of life that we lead. We make decision in all aspects of our life including making a decision to ride a motorbike other than a bicycle. In in Christianity we make decisions too.The very first being, the choice to become a Christian. Christianity is too wide and just a religion like,Islam,Hinduism and Buddhism.

In Christianity, We have two groups of people, Christians and born again Christians.The born again Christians are the wise fellows who have made the noble decision to be  sons in the kingdom of heaven. As opposed to mare Christians, God knows them by their name, their names are in the book of life, they are devil's greatest enemy, they are in the mission to save souls and their goal is eternal life Its matter of decisions. If you haven't known Christ yet or if you are just a mere christian you need to choose to become a son in the Kingdom.
The bible says in John 3:18
"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only son."

No one should stand condemned when the price is already paid on the cross unless they so chose.The beautiful thing with salvation is whether you choose it or not the consequences are eternal. Make yours today.

Many people fear being condemned. Jesus wants you to come to him the way you are. He simply needs to forget about your past and wants you to sin no more. God is not interested in your past but your future. God has given us life and soon will take it away.We can only make the decision to follow Jesus while we are alive.Besides its only a fool who does not prepare for the future.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 9:4
"Anyone who is among the living has hope-even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!"
