“I gave you my Son; I sent Him to die for you. I only ask you to trust in My love and His sacrifice. Is it that difficult?”
“God makes the way, Jesus shows the way, the Holy Spirit leads the way”
“Hearing the right message and attending the right church has certainly made a difference between life and death for us.”
Father has been giving me on the job training in this divine job of counseling lost sheep. I started with people, who trusted God, but don’t know how to let him help them in their problems. Then I proceeded to people, who know about God’s Love but stubborn to accept instruction from Daddy God. Now, I am counseling people that don’t know about God’s Love and blaming God for their sufferings. Yes, this people don’t know how to let Father lead them and pass Him their problems.
I was pondering over this issue of their trust in God when I saw the message in the testimony site. Yes, I do wonder, is it that difficult to believe that Father God gives us so much love and Jesus really did take all our sins, sicknesses, curses and gave us the Grace and Mercy in abundance.
Someone told me she doesn’t want to ‘trouble’ Father God with her little problems in life. The most important issue is to bring souls to be saved. She should have known that if she pass all her problems to Daddy God and trust in Him in all issues, others who are not saved, will wonder why her life so good, and will want to know Jesus. We, children of God are to show Jesus goodness through us so that we can attract more people to be saved. If your lives don’t look good, who would want to trust your God to help them??? How different is your God to their god???
Another issue that makes my counseling difficult is people’s pride. In this fallen world, a lot of us thought that it is important to show that we have a certain status in this world and we are well off. All of us wants to protect our status, no one want to be revealed that they are weak in any sense.
However, if they admit they are weak and they cannot help themselves and need the Lord’s help and they trust Father God and let Him lead them, not only will they get high status and riches, Lord Jesus will bless them with divine health and peace of life in all areas of their life, be it health, finances, relationships within family and outside. Even our property and our little stuff like pots of plants or little toys would be taken care too. Hiaz, if only they realise how GOOD Lord Jesus, Holy Father and Holy Spirit is.
I was reading Genesis 1 and 2 last night. Lord God was in happy mood to create the heaven and earth and even happier to create man and woman. Do you know why Father God put in the bible Genesis 2:2 ‘By the seventh Day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all his work.’? Father God wants to tell us that He will make sure that He settle all our problems and are happy about it. He will then take His rest upon completion. Trust in Him to settle all your problems and frustrations, for He will, and with abundance Grace and Mercy. Praise the Lord.
When Adam and Eve sinned in eating the fruits from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and realised their nakedness, Lord God was angry with them, after giving them a scolding, and NOT cursed, He immediately Genesis 3:21 ‘made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothes them’. Lord God didn’t even want Adam and Eve to feel sinful for too long. Gen 3:23-24 ‘So the Lord God banished Adam from the Garden of Eden…’ and ‘placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.’.
How many of you, parents and guidance, would care if your children would suffer or feel bad after they disobeyed you? Most of us would make sure that they suffer and know their mistakes forever.
However, this is not what Lord God has done. When He knows human is not able to handle their sins, He sent Lord Jesus to take over all our sins, past, present and future. He has taken all. Yes, ALL, if you believe Him. I know when we fallen, feel condemned, guilty, depressed, or angry, it is not easy for us to come to Jesus and believe that He has taken all of the sins and we will be Righteous in Him.
It is a battle with the adversary. He, who is in this world, wants to make you feel bad. A lot of us like to take the easy way out, just to feel bad and hopefully one day, this feeling will fade with time. There is a better and more efficient way to handle this. If and only if you trust that Lord Jesus has taken all your sin and Father God does not impute any sin on you, stand firm on this belief, confess to Lord Jesus continuously till the guilty feeling fade off. You will have a sense of peace that is given to you by the Prince of Peace. Try it out if you will. Don’t let your doubts get the better of you. So that you can understand that God word is alive and powerful! Praise the Lord!
Father God, thank you for your faithfulness in us. Thank you for assisting us when we are weak and hopeless. Thank you for giving us the strength and the wisdom to continue standing firmly in Lord Jesus victory ground. I pray in Jesus Almighty Name. Amen.
