Day 9 of 21
Helpless or hopeless? Psalm 3:2-3
Feeling helpless? Does it look like everything around you is working against you? Living a life that is characterized by untold hardship and difficulties?
Written off by people?
Hold on, trust God. Do not despair or loose faith in God. There is light at the end of that tunnel.
In Psalm 3:2, David said "Many are saying of my soul, there is no help for me in God". Everyone had written him off. Even David himself had lost all hope of seeing God's goodness in the land of the living. Although he knew God had promised to elevate his status from Shepherd boy to King of Israel, it didn't seem forthcoming.
Saul promised him the gallows. Saul sought his death and pursued him for years. He lived the life of a fugitive BUT David encouraged himself in the Lord. Despite his unfavorable state he kept saying "For thou O Lord art a shield for me, the glory and the lifter of my head"
I sincerely don't know how many people have written you off,I do not know what you are going through or what's going through you but one thing I am so sure of is the fact that, God is very much interested in You. He is ever ready to take away the cloak of anguish and agony off your life and usher you into a realm of peace and quietness (if only you will allow him)
David summoned courage because He had an understanding of God. I pray that as you continue to walk with God this year, God will stand up for you today in the name of Jesus.
Friends, Trust God today. Have faith in Him and encouraged yourself like King David, thereby glorifying God and putting your enemies to flight..... He will not only be your shield and glory,He will lift your hand up above all of your problems in the name of Jesus
Prayers...
1. Lord I thank You yet again for opening my eyes to see that you are always there for me and my household.
2. Lord, bring an end to every shame, reproach, and agony in my life today in the name of Jesus.
3. Lord, let every loopholes (created by me, my attitudes or by the enemy) that is sponsoring my downfall, and aiding the enemy of my progress be destroyed in the name of Jesus
4. Lord, lift me high above every reproach and attack of the tongues in the name of Jesus.
Do have a blessed Tuesday as we move from one level of glory to another
Shalom
BV Gifted Hands.
Someone wrote on Yesterdays scripture post that i lacked what to blog and that was why i am blogging about God...i deleted your comment but please i need you to know that you really really need God in your life..I cannot for the life of me imagine how anyone can think like this..I pray this post leads you to peace of mind cos it seems you are helpless with whatever is pushing you to post such...
Whatever you are going thru that makes you spew hate,please trust God to see you thru....God bless you.
If i have nothing else to blog about,YES I WILL BOG ABOUT GOD ALL DAY!
Stella,this is new year..
ReplyDeleteStart ignoring these people nau...
I concur
DeleteThank you for this bv gifted hands,i just got admitted into the university after five years of trying and hoping,my parents are not rich but i know God is able to help me finance my education,i av no one to turn to but God.
DeleteI will try my best to change my life and that of my family even if it means begging.
*Phew* this life ehnn.*wipes tears*
Stella y do u keep replying this people?
DeleteU can't even take your own advice by ignoring!
Amen @BV Gifted hands.
ReplyDeleteStellakork, leave dem, let dem talk. Maybe dt person doesn't need God in life.
Yes this helped but just a bit cos I cannot evenbdescribe what I feel presently,but it gave me little nudge on the positive side, advice can't help me, prayers nd fasting have done a lot of that, and right now am another 7 days white fast, yes I won't give up but what I don't know is who I will be when all this end, I pray it ends in praise and thanksgiving.when I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I might send my chronicles for the very first time.
ReplyDeleteGod is good
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this Mrs Kor, am really blessed.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteThe problem most of us have is that we want to do "professional prayer". Prayer is not PRESCRIPTIVE.
E.G white says prayer is talking to God like a friend. I won't write an outline of how and which words I will use to gist with my friend when I am going to see her. Although, I might have picked out the topics I want us to talk about, but rehearsing the exact words would be strange.
A baby that cannot talk yet knows how to whimper and cry to communicate to her mother that she is hungry/sleepy. The mother understands and tends to the need. That's us, mortal beings...
Now imagine what more the immortal, invisible God is willing to do...
May we be directed by the holy spirit all our lives.
God I trust in thee.. sanu fun mi
ReplyDeleteAmen. Thank you dear God.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stella for this post.it spoke to me. God bless you. I also pray that God helps you ignore haters. That seems to be your loophole.
ReplyDeleteGood morning people.
Go for it Stella...Preach God without shame
ReplyDeleteLove you loads
And that prayer of Jabez has been resonating in my head since i read Sweet Mothers post on IHN last week.
ReplyDeleteI think the person that posted that made the comment is not a Christian , i would feel uncomfortable if the blog i visit often starts posting islamic fasting messages during their Ramadan just because he/she is a muslim or any other religion, i really dont blame the person, but saying you dont have what to blog about is what is wrong, this prayer post is just one post out of many posted here daily .
Lord thank you for your continuous love towards me.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful.
Lord feel my heart with love, remove this darkness from my heart
ReplyDeleteAmen
Thank u Gifted hands.
ReplyDeleteSome people are really bitter even towards the almighty. Whoever dropped that comment, it is not too late, u can still hand over ur life and worries to God and He will save you.
It's day 9 of our prayer and fasting, it's not late for you to join and I bet you, your whole life will change for the better.
Thank you Lord for the gift of today, and the opportunity to hear your word this day.
ReplyDeleteMay our mouths be filled with praise, for what you have done. Amen.
#WhiteDiamondOut
Loving my Almighty God all the waaay!
ReplyDeleteAyah Shehu *
Amen..
ReplyDeleteI have always trusted God and I am still trusting him to do something about this lack. Yesterday's RCCG devotional said 'weep no more' but how can I stop the tears from flowing when I don't even know where my next meal will come from. I thank God for life.
ReplyDeleteStella, I trust God oooooooo, it's some days into the fasting and my miracle marriage has already been given to me by GOD ooooooo, I so much trust this God, He is so faithful......
DeleteThis post is just talking to me. They have all written me off . Used to be the light of my family but now, all i hear is can any good come out of ...... It is well. Even i have lost hope in myself hmm. The only person who seems not to have lost hope in me is my daughter *wipes tears* hmmm.
ReplyDeleteGod has not lost hope in you. it is well
DeleteAmen... thankyou BV Gifted hands.
ReplyDeleteAmen. God is always faithful.
ReplyDeletethank u lord ,from glory to glory thats where m going after the 21days...... ijn. i pray for his grace to finish the fast.
ReplyDeletePreach!!!
ReplyDeletePreach all day Gurl!!!
I'm inspired by this daily post!
It means the world to me and brings me closer to God!
The prayer points,the words are an affirmation to me.
We will never walk alone
ReplyDeleteGod is still in the act of doing miracles
Stella, if you know how much this post encourages me (and many others I'm sure) ehn... You would just ignore the one or two people against it.
ReplyDeleteEven if the person is a Muslim and uncomfortable with the post like someone mentioned above, shouldn't the right thing be to skip it?
It's not all posts I read here, from the headline, you should know what would interest or upset you and skip it, life is that straightforward a beg.
I rarely open posts on football news cos it bores me most times..
Live and let live joor.
Amen. Thank you Gifted hands.
ReplyDelete* smiles *
ReplyDeleteThanks Stella for posting. Touched by your last line
Thanks members of BVN for reading
Many of us have a hard time because we have a misconception about GOD or we have a wrong understanding of GOD we view GOD from the wrong perspective, for instance some people prefer their mother to their father because of the understanding they have for each of them not necessary because their father have less LOVE for them, the devil have blocked our sense of reasoning and judgment to make us see GOD as less interesting or boring or wicked or overbearing nope GOD is fun believe me guys when I say so, he makes u happy, brings good reasoning into your heart, makes you invent new things with ease and perfection, makes you love everybody equally. GOD provides everything that thrills the mind, GOD is more excellent than we think, most times when I think about GOD and his goodness in my quite time I just have goose pimples he alone can be God no one else, he is so good with this tender loving kindness that is difficult to understand and anybody who is uncomfortable with God is just because the devil is tormenting his or her precious soul and its only the blood of Jesus Christ the precious son of God that can set him or her free can u imagine a fish to live without water the same is applicable to us we cannot function well without God, God is our air our food our sleep our health our future our present our dreams and aspirations he is our friend our king our father our mother our brother our sister our BFF our saviour our teacher our counsellor the list is endless even when we do not want him he wants us pls pls pls I can exhaust all in my head about GOD and yet I have not yet started. Let's do ourselves a favour and LOVE our GOD.
ReplyDeleteI love this post.
ReplyDeleteHe knows my name and I know He will not abandon, disappoint or forget me.
No matter what we are passing through, we should never GIVE UP.
This our GOD is so sweet and always friendly if you run to HIM in humility, just walk with Him this year and see how He'll re-write your story for good.
Thanks BV Gifted Hand
Somebody asked a question about preggy/nursing mums' fast or so.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was pregnant I fasted for 21 days (6-12pm), breast-feeding and still fasting, I think it depends on the body/mother and how the spirit leads...
Amen, God bless you gifted hands.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gifted hands. We often just remember David as the King of Isreal not his days of running from King Saul and his own Son. Thanks for reminding us about the time he was a fugutive and God's faithfulness in making him the greatest King of Isreal and defeating his enemies.
ReplyDeleteIf you are offended in God Almighty,you cannot be defended by Him
ReplyDeleteYou cannot be offended in God Almighty and be defended by Him
