Does God work mysteriously?

“…The Lord executes righteousness and justice [not for me only, but] for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and loving-kindness. He will not always chide or be contending, neither will He keep His anger forever or hold a grudge…” © Ps 103:6-9, AMP Italics and emphasis mine

We have oft heard ‘God works in mysterious ways’ haven’t we; but I submit to you today that He does not. If He did, why would He write down what He has done in the past, what He is doing today and what He plans to do in the future? Of course there are things we will never know (let alone comprehend with our limited mind) about God, yet He has revealed everything we need to know.

I appeal to everyone of us today that if God appears to be mysterious to you; perhaps it is time to open his writ and begin searching for answers for I can assure you that it is all in there, somewhere! Don’t forget to call in for the resident tutor, the Holy GHOST; He will bring every letter/word alive for you…say a little prayer while you are there!

U R not assigned 2 everybody!

“…When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."…”
© Acts 18:5-7, NIV italics and emphasis mine

As ministers, we often desire to help everybody from everything only ending up being hurt, burnt out, discouraged, in-effective and frustrated. The truth of the matter is we can't help everybody; in fact we are not commanded of the Lord or assigned to everybody in the first place. We need to know to whom we are assigned and to what specific areas.

But of those that you are divinely assigned to, you can only help those who would: 1. Acknowledge that they have problem, 2. Accept they need not only help, but your help and, 3. Be prepared to pay the price. Pride is the number one reason why we wouldn't acknowledge having a problem let alone ask for help. This is why God resist the proud but gives Grace to the humble…

Introduce you to you

“…"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact,for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me"…” © John 18:37, NIV italics and emphasis mine

To be successful, prosperous, healthy and happy, one has to engage in what one was ''wired'' (created, gifted, destined) to BE and DO. Can you boldly say “for which reason you were born?” and is this what you now do? or are you caught on 24-7, 9-4 to pay bills and do what you are supposed(expected) to be and do. Successful people know what they want to be and do, believe they can and pursue that with everything they’ve got.

Jesus (being in the flesh like us) knew not only WHO He was but also WHOSE and WHAT He was meant to BE and DO. He did not fuss about pleasing people but was all about pleasing God. He worked for God but loved and served people tenderly. He was very gentle and generous, yet very strong and strict when it came to fulfilling His call...no messing about it...the rewards, He achieved more in 3 ½ years than what most will in entire life time.

Full Time Ministry, Really?

"...There he (Apostle Paul) met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla…Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks..." Acts 18:2-4, NIV italics, words in bracket and emphasis mine

Many of us feel as second class ministers because we are not in "full time" ministry. Yet Paul, who wrote most of the NT, worked hard to support himself and those around him. His trade skills also provided him access (scripture above) to places and people. In many places Paul boasts of being self reliant, "I coveted no man's silver or gold or apparel. You yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my necessities and to those with me..." (Acts 20:3-35)

Unless specifically asked of the Lord otherwise, we need to stop looking at our profession as an inconvenience that robs us time from our calling for it is a God-given gift by and through which God's work will be done. Many gospel restricted countries will open doors for Doctors, Engineers, Teachers, Nurses...Your ''tent making skills'' will provide you with access to hostile countries, people in high places and sustain you and the gospel (income).

Wake Up Call

"...But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you..." John 15:17-18 NKJV, italics and emphasis mine

When I recently visited Tz, having been away for nearly 10 years, I met lots of ''old'' friends/acquaintanc es. Some have really done well for themselves, but some not so good...divorced, alcoholic, workaholic etc. You see, when we begin to wonder off God's presence, it is not so obvious at the beginning (e.g. praying less, caring less for Godly things) but as time goes, the difference begins to show in the consequences of having walked away from the Lord.

The bible clearly says "when he (the prodigal son) came to himself", this means he was not himself as he walked away from the Father. Life has a way of taking the toll on us that we don't even realise how far we have wondered off from the truth, the love of God and the values that we used to hold dear. The daily routine, battles, struggles of life tends to anaesthetise us. I pray that the Holy Spirit will minister to those who have wondered off to come to their back to their senses--In Jesus Name!.
