A question

Friend, it took me quite a long hour brooding over what to dish out this week to innovate our minds. My pen was begging for my attention but couldn’t pick it up until my mind could unravel what to get down on my white paper.

 

That was to relax your mind a little. Well, there was something building up in my heart I had looked for how to put it so as to get it across to you but got a better way to say it in the process of brooding.

 

I found out we blame ourselves too much for issues that go wrong in our lives or around us. We get to so concentrate on what went wrong than how to get it right. There is a common belief that if a thing fails, it is not God who ordered it in the first place. I want to ask you a question from the familiar story am about to expound below.

 
A man known to be the beginning of the whole arrangement called universe had a plan in His mind. The plan centres around having an extension of a kingdom where He dwells in heaven on earth. He created both the earth and the heavens. He placed man who was created in His image on earth to produce like-minds. However, not too long this plan wasn’t a success. There was a peg due to a failure that occurred. Man could no longer produce a likeness of the God who intended to increase Himself on the earth.

 

It’s obvious that plan didn’t work out as intended. The question now is, was that arrangement which didn’t work, of God or not?  

 

You see, that a thing failed or that you failed does not automatically translate to your idea or you not being a product of God. Stop the blame game. Many quit at that point of initial failure, being scared of trying again because they had failed ones and thought it only meant God didn’t have a hand in it. That’s not always the case. Try again! Don’t give the credit of your failure to the devil. With that you are indirectly saying the devil still has some influence over you.

 

Remember Elijah had to tell his servant to check again and again for rain, Elijah didn’t stop at the sixth trial thinking it wasn’t of God. Until the rain came, he didn’t stop. 1King18:41-45

 

As you go this week, bear it in mind that failure doesn’t define God out of you. You are in Him.
