MOVING ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF TROUBLED WATERS

8th MARCH 2021

^“Has a nation changed its gods, which are not gods? But My people have changed their Glory for what does not profit” – Jeremiah 2:11

There are so many situations in life that keep us permanently stagnant on one spot in both material and spiritual wealth. These situations come up as a result of wanting to stick to a wrong job, a way of life, or a set of beliefs. When we stick to a wrong status, we suffer a lot of troubles, leading to loss of jobs, lack of recognition, or even a rejection. There is one thing that is very true in life, and that is the fact that no condition is permanent, and the only constant thing in life is change. This is basically so because life is on the move; as the philosophers would say, life and nature are constantly becoming or undergoing a state of evolution.

Therefore, everyone has an opportunity to experience growth after a decline or to move out of trouble areas completely. Very often, the shift that we are expected to make rest in our minds or psyche as well as  our readiness to leap in faith across the bridge to the other side of life.  Again, so many are clouded by a very wrong attitude to life and can neither keep a job nor sustain one. Some do not understand what is called mutual respect or courtesy.  

The word of God is telling us today to change our wrong values and negative mindset to behold a new horizon.  This is because a nation must necessarily worship the right God to attract prosperity. So also, the people must not chase after vain things that do not yield profit. Otherwise, they will remain poor. Therefore, every negative action on our part has a corresponding negative experience and bound to catch up with us someday. Note that our attitude or wrong choices are majorly responsible for the troubles we experience in life.

To go above the troubles of life, you have to have faith and believe in God; focus and believe in a new life flourishing with supernatural abundance in Christ Jesus. Secondly, we have to drop our old selves and unproductive attitude; Consult and take the right decisions, wear a new cloak of patience, and lean on Faith’s staff.  

PRAYER

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I trust in your power to lead me out of every chasm of confusion, hopelessness, faithlessness and wrong values presently inhibiting the fulfilment of your purpose and plan for me. Therefore, I decree that your power now works in my life, by thy will. Lord, Like Joshua, I shall henceforth succeed in the most important activities of my life. AMEN.
