Your time to be helped is coming


Many of you are feeling confused and challenged, wondering when the time will come for someone to help you. God has used you in a significant way by showing you kindness and compassion and meeting the needs of others with the little that you have.

However, despite your needs and unmet desires, your passion for helping and serving others is still alive. Nevertheless, this does not dispel the repetitive thoughts that traffic in and out of your mind about when God's promises to you for helping others will manifest.

Well, my friend, God knows your heart, and he's pretty aware of the challenges of your mind and what appears to be unfair to you. However, his plans for you far exceed your temporary discomfort. Your obedience in continuing to do what he's impressed upon you to do, even while your needs are seemingly barely being met, will, in time, yield an immeasurable reward for you. Faithfulness is essential!

The Lord wants me to encourage you this morning and remind you of his word, Hebrews 6:10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you have shown toward his name in that you have ministered (served) to the saints and continue to minister.

As a reminder to you, my friend, the law of temporary dictates that there are times and seasons for every purpose under the sun, Eccl 3:1. Those whom you are serving, it is indeed their time, and God has chosen you to provide their fruit in their season despite you being fruitless. God has commissioned someone to do likewise towards you in abundance as you do in your kindness, love, compassion, and giving to others despite your afflictions and fruitlessness. The promise of God is evident, and it says, "He that gives water to others shall one day be given water" Proverbs 11:25.

The kindness you're planting now has an assigned date to produce fruits for you in the future!

"The eyes of all wait upon thee, and thou givest them their meat in DUE season. Thou open their hands and satisfy the desire of every living creature" Psalm 145:15-16.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP!


I want to reach out to anyone reading this who feels profoundly hurt and believes that life is merely a cycle of sorrow filled with disappointment and despair. Before you take your next step, please listen to me for a moment.

Using myself as an example, I have taken my life's struggles, pains, disappointments, and failures and used them as a new lens to view life. Like you, I have experienced many letdowns, unexplainable hurts, broken promises, and relentless thoughts about the purpose of life.

There were moments when I thought praying was pointless, so much so that I even stopped (not something I recommend). But my friend, the challenges I encountered ultimately benefited me more than I ever expected. Like everything else, each issue, situation, and circumstance has its own duration. Yet, during these times, we often get conditioned to dwell on the negatives instead of seeing them as valuable lessons for future achievements. Looking back, I can genuinely express gratitude to God for every obstacle, every disappointment, and anything else I deemed unfair. With those challenges behind me, my outlook on life has transformed significantly. I've gained a deeper appreciation and understanding of life and why those moments were necessary for future development.

I beg you to consider this: the most detrimental error one could commit is surrendering or abandoning hope. By engaging in such actions, you are discarding the essential components that have been meticulously crafted and allowed by God to equip you for the breakthrough for which you are being prepared. This explains why God rarely informs folks of the details of their process. For example, can you imagine if God said to Joseph, "you will be second in command of Egypt, but before that happens, your brothers will hate you, you will be sold into slavery, you will be falsely accused of rape and thrown into prison for something you did not do?" I am sure he would have said, "I would love to be second in charge of Egypt, but if I have to go through all of that, forget it!" If you read Joseph's story carefully, every struggle he encountered literally prepared and led him to his God-ordained destiny.

Once more, I want to encourage you: DO NOT GIVE UP! DO NOT GIVE IN! When seen in the right light, your challenges are just temporary moments shaping you for something greater. You'll get your chance to take the lead, but it's important to remember that you're gaining valuable and necessary experience before your time to shine arrives.

The bottom line is that life will always seem difficult, sad, disappointing, and the like when one is being conditioned for change. You cannot enjoy or even handle what's awaiting your arrival with your current state of mind. In fact, your current state of mind is an enemy to your future! Hence, your challenges are preparing you to value and appreciate what has been reserved exclusively by God, just for you.

WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, JOY WILL COME IN THE MORNING, PSALMS 30:5

ARE YOU ADDRESSING THE ROOT?


Do you find yourself experiencing the same old problem time and time again? What about having to face a
sure dislike situation that seems as if it will never go away?

Well, my friend like with anything else in life if you refuse to remove the root then the truth is you should be in expectation of experiencing the same thing over and over again.

If you are not dealing with the root of your problem, then it's like cutting the leaves and branches off of a tree and expecting that tree to die.

I want to say to someone this morning who is just tired of going through the motions..... Rather than addressing the leaves and branches of your problem, which would be people, places and things (things that are physical), why not address your situations from an entirely different perspective and that is from its root which will always be SPIRITUAL!

If your friend is a liar, then your friend would be considered a leaf or branch of the problem. The root would be a lying spirit that is influencing your friend to constantly lie.

The bottom line here is, scripture says that every seed produces after its kind, if you want to know what kind you're dealing with then observe its behavior. Its response will reveal the spirit that's operating behind that person, place or thing.

Father, we pray that you would expose the root of our problems in this day and in days to come, so that we will be able to sever the root in an effort that everything else concerning our situations will also die, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
