Today’s exhortation – we’re still children

In life, a child is not responsible for their upkeep or safety and as children of God neither are we. Whilst we’re still His children, we remain His responsibility for certain aspects of our lives. When we were children, we depended on our parents for food, shelter, clothing, pocket money, healthcare, education; discipline; protection etc. That remains the same with us and our Heavenly Father. No matter how old we get, we’ll forever be His children. As children if were being bullied we told our Fathers and that still should still be the case, whether in the work place or in any setting. Most of us believed our fathers were superhuman and could do anything. They weren’t but our Heavenly Father is. He says, “I Am the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for Me?” Jeremiah 32:27).

The Lord Jesus said, “let the little children come to Me and do not try to stop them for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14). Like Jesus did, Our Father rebukes anyone who tries to stop us coming to Him! All those things above that fathers do for their children is what God does for us. If you need protection, go to Daddy, if you need money, ask Him, if you need help doing anything, ask Him. If we believed our fathers will provide, how much more our Heavenly Father? No one can love us better than He can.

Today’s exhortation – carry me

There was an evangelist who’s little girl was disabled and could only get around on crutches. This evangelist travelled frequently and most times he returned home with presents. One day he returned home with a present for his wife and when he opened the front door, his daughter was there. She told her dad she wanted to go give her mother the present. The evangelist saw that it would be impossible for his daughter to carry the present so he tried to dissuade her. She was very persistent so he relented and gave her the present. Once she had the present in her hand, she looked up at her dad and said, “now dad, please carry me to mummy”

We have many dreams and aspirations that appear impossible even to us, but they are not for God! He says Himself, ““Behold, I Am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah‬ ‭32:27‬). It doesn’t matter what man says, with God absolutely nothing is impossible! Whether it’s starting our own business, immigration issues, house purchases, jobs, marriage issues etc, we should be like the little girl and ask God to carry us through and I believe He will. He says, “‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’” (Jeremiah‬ ‭33:3‬). He will show you that what you thought was impossible is possible. Amen

Today’s exhortation – not impossible

The Lord says, “I Am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah‬ ‭32:27‬). We must ask ourselves too, “is there anything too hard for our God?” Is it too hard for Him to get us that promotion we seek even though we are unqualified? Is it too hard for Him to supply all our needs in a moment? Is it too hard for Him to heal us of sickness and diseases? Did He not do humanly impossible thing of taking a foreign slave from prison with no royal blood or ties and make him ruler in a foreign nation. God is the same yesterday, today and forever and favours no one. If He did it for Joseph, He will do it for us.

Why should we disqualify ourselves because of our lack of education or experience when He can move sovereignly in our favour? I believe when we are the least likely to succeed, that’s when we’re most likely to succeed and for God to use us. The bible says, “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him”‭‭(1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:27-29‬). This is why we will become the head and not the tail, above and not beneath in Jesus Name. Amen
