All you need is Jesus

Have you ever woken up one day and you started crying ?

Thinking about the problems that your family is carrying?

Have you ever asked yourself the question why me?

The reason why people are so poor in your family?

There are times I wondered about the problems of life,

Then I began to blame myself why I am born in this life.

Some people lives in air condition chambers in higher places.

Buy do you know what? They are still complaining.

There are times the problems begin to circle and push me to stagger. Like someone who has committed a grate crime and being stab with a dagger.

Some times I feel like just killing myself.

For the only rich one in the family behaves like a deaf.

What do think that I should be doing? For what I am seeing is not encouraging.

When I need help I will call my aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers. Then they will tell, please call your father, mother, for I have no naira. Then again I began to ask myself the question, why? Why? Why? Who are mine? And each time I asked myself the question, the only thought that enters my mind is to go and die, of suicide.

For I have nothing to live for. For The problems of life are just too much. I cant sleep I cant think. I am surrounded with people yet I am alone.

Though is not their fault. Is just that I forgot that I have a God. My father who never wanted me to suffer. Who parted the red sea, fed the hungry, raised the dead and all the rest. He said , for this particular reason He was made poor that I may become rich. Paid the price on the cross that His pains may be my gain.

But I forgot Him. I forgot Him.

I couldn’t  remember Him. I deleted His number from my contact list. This is Jesus of Calvary. I forgot Him

 

But great thanks to brother timothy from Christ embassy. Who always stand to encourage me. set me  inferences. Telling me about the birds that have no hands but they eat. They have no uncles neither aunts yet they feeds. Is it not same God that created all of us? Why hoping on man instead of God?

Then quickly I realised he is talking about the god of Abraham, my helper which is my shepherd. That even though my brothers, my sisters, father, mother, friends or whatever they called them refuses to help me, I fear not.

For He has leaded me beside the steal water where I have gotten myself recover. And my head He has anointed with oil, that even before I was born, He has called me that I am the one.   And in a very large and beautiful table, He has arrange for me and my friends to eat comfortable. So now I have the confidence to stand and wedge all sorts of coincidence. That even when the economic is saying that, I will be saying so.

Listen. The doctor said you can’t survive, who said so. Even the economic is saying that there is job, that is a lie. That you must have connection before you can work. Who said?

What about David? David was a man who helps his father in the farm, he never have connection or the thought of becoming a king, but one day he was in the farm working in the farm and he was called and anointed as a king. That is so. You don’t always need to call, they will call you. You don’t always need to be there, they will feel your presence. You will work where they said there is no job.

He is the creator which is your connector. He is the rock of ages but I called Him the age rock, He doesn’t need to sit in aso rock before He grant you your job, He is the door. But first, firstly;

you must be born again.
