Life, I tell you the truth is full of ups and downs that at most cases causes a man to be confused. There are most challenges we go through in life and in the midst of this challenges, we become totally incapacitated of our ability to make quality decisions and take quality actions that will bring us out of those challenges.
See, the human existence has been one of the most difficult task ever given to man by God because of the series of requirement for living. Confusions just doesn't come all times, it come at the time where we are at the peak of our breakthrough and this times are the most delicate times in a mans life that demands carefulness and concentration.
If you make mistakes at this delicate time of you, you miss it from the plans of God for your life.
A woman was at a very delicate point in her life, a point of life and dead and look at what she dead.
A woman and her child of 4 months went to bed on a Saturday night after their prayer, hoping to have a blissful night with her baby.
On Sunday by 7 a.m, the woman on her awakening found out that her only child was dead. Wait did i just say the baby died? Oh! yes the baby died.
For me, this would have been the best time for me to scream to the whole world announcing God's unfaithfulness but lets continue and see what she did instead
Not knowing what to do, she kept silent and did not tell it to anyone what was going on. She went on with her normal daily routines, taking her bath, after showering, she went on to bath the little dead boy and made him lie on the bed. This is craziness to the very normal man. I mean this child is dead, and you are still bathing a dead baby. For what?
Remember, it's still Sunday and instead of her letting her situation deciding her location, she better decided a location for her situation.
> Never let what you are going through decide your fate for you but rather be the one deciding a fate for what you're going through.
After some time with the child, note that nobody knew about what was happening to this woman. Finally she shut him up alone in the room and went to the church. She did not say anything to the pastor of the church or to any member just like the Shunamite woman did not say anything to Elijah concerning her dead child.
Instead of always expressing grieve, depression, anger or despair in times of situations, try more of being thankful and appreciating. Have a thankful heart because the greatest command is that in everything we should give thanks.
She sang, danced, jumped and praised God just like the others. This proved her faith. Every time you express excitement and thankfulness even in difficult situations, you appear as a threat to your very present situation.
Nobody in the church could guess or tell the joy of this mourning woman that day.
Halleluyah. It was at the moment of worship when everyone in church was raptured into the spirit that the church steward noticed a little crowd at the front of the church. He (the church steward) was wondering what could be the reason? Meanwhile the mourning mother herself was so lost in the presence of God that she could hardly notice what was going on outside.
Now the church steward informed the pastor of what was happening outside so pastor went out and saw the neighbors of the woman very angry with her only child crying.
What is going on? The Pastor asked the neighbors.
They replied, "You Christians are very wicked. How can a woman lock up her only child in her room and come to church? They thought they knew it all.
The child was crying profusely and we had no other option than to break her door to get him out. It's not good!!! Pastor, you see?
The pastor was surprised to hear this about his member. The mourning mother was brought out, and she explained everything that happened and that the child was dead and that she couldn't stand it telling people that her baby was dead.
The woman cried and the whole church adored God more than before.
Everytime you choose not to all your situations to decide for you, you end up becoming a testimony and a role model to many.
Before you act, think about it
He can deliver you too from what you are going through today.
BEFORE YOUR SITUATION WILL BRING YOU TO A POINT OF RIDICULE, MERCY OF GOD WILL SPEAK FOR YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS. AMEN Believe in him.
