God's Assembly.
God has designed His assembly in such a way that anytime we come to worship, we don't go back the same way we came. When you come with expectations, you have to go back home with an experience from His encounter with you. The heart must be willing and know that God is able to bless us when we are in His presence.
David spent all his life fighting wars. He fought animals...he fought humans. He has been fighting war since his teenage years. He fought Goliath, king Saul, Absalom his son... When your life is full of war, it's so hard to build. You can't build during war.
We all have challenges and crisis... It's easier for people to call you after your issues even when those issues had ended. Before the challenges of your life becomes known, I pray that the good Lord build you. It's easier for people to call you and identify you with your challenges. Even after Naaman was healed of his leprosy, we still call him Naaman the leper till today. Same with people in the Bible known by their problems; Mary Magdalene, the woman with the issue of blood and so on. People are unforgiven and they would like to remind you of your challenges even when God had dealt with them.
When a man comes to frustration, they focus on the problem rather than what had gone before. Elijah said he wasn't better than his fathers which was a lie because no one had ever brought down water and fire at the same spot...no one had people go to heaven without dying... But frustration made him forget all that God had done before. Frustration brings people to negative conclusions. It's the same with us as humans. We allow frustration to make us forget the good things God has done with us and through us.
God has been good to you and there are so many challenges that tells lies against that record. You have to count your blessings and name them one by one. Be surprised to see what the Lord has done. God has indeed been good to you. Remember those things He has done and let them usher you into the things you are expecting even in His presence/assembly.
David at some point carried the oil of a king on his head and the oil on his head couldn't find expression because he was living in the cave. There are some things about us that hasn't been expressed yet but we should know that if God can promise it, He will get us through. He hasn't brought us this far to fail us. I pray that the same place of your sweat and tears would also become the same place of your blessing, happiness and testimonies...in Jesus name. Amen.
Those who ruled Israel spent 40 years ruling it starting from Eli to David and even Solomon...but David used the better part of his years fighting wars and very few in the palace. God says, your years would not be wasted and you will enjoy more than your labour. For your trouble God says He is willing to give you double honour.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Jesu o kin fail... God never fails and whenever he says he will do, nothing will change it.
Our present situation might not show to the world that we are God's children but the time will come when his promises will begin to manifest and even though others are not seeing ehat happening, we will be an ingrate to say God hasn't done anything in our lives.
As you have said, there is time for everything. When it is time, nothing can stop it.
I attended a garment church while growing and it would interest you to know that the richest man in our church then was always denied a visa to travel out. He has processed it severally but when the time was right, he was called by the embassy because they review his past application.
When it was time for Joseph, his brother thought they were doing him evil. When it was time for David, God picked him out from the bush.
God never fails, this message belongs to me...
It's about timing and that's why we need to stay in contact with God at all times. I love your in-depth comment. Full of truth and practical examples too. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Timing really matters and the Bible emphasize on that a lot, if we read the scripture well, no one will get tired waiting on God.
When it's our time the devil cannot stop us. We have to keep staying in faith if we want to see the best of God because God loves it when we show faith.
I have heard stories of how the devil thought he was doing evil and unknown to him, it was good.
When it is time, God will do what he will do no matter what our situation can look like. Joseph is an example, when the devil thought it was the end since he was in prison, God did his miracle and behaving like a true son of God helped him because he could have ruined his life if he fell for the sin.
Exactly... Time time time.
At the right time, everything will fall in place.
We just have to keep believing God and staying true to his will because is there's anything I'm sure of, it is that God loves us and always would want the best for us.
Yes, brother. God's love for us is huge. We are his children, he created us in his image and we just have to stay in line with him to enjoy the fullness of his glory.
Exactly.
In Obedience to Christ is one of the greatest Christian music I've ever aligned with
Exactly 💯 There's time for everything brother. You don't expect things to be good and favourable from the first day of your life.
There are good days; there are bad days. The earlier we learn to accept this fact the better for us, so we could adjust our minds to the reality of life and effectively work on what we want to achieve regardless of the situation we currently find ourselves in.
All these days are connected and it is lack of patience that makes a lot of people go extreme most times.
Before gold will become jewellery, it went to worse. We all should understand by now that life isn't designed to be perfect for us but at the right time, things will fall into place at God's will.
God's word and fulfillment will always come through when we don't back down and let our hearts be filled with vile words because of certain ways life dealt us.
Being grateful and praising God every day and time matters.
Life would always want to knock us off and we have to look to Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith who would help us to stay strong while God perfect all that concerns us.
Thanks a lot dear.
You are right. Looking toward Him and embracing Him matters.
When we don't back down. God loves to see our resilience. It's our act or show of faith when despite everything we are still holding on to God.
Yay! 🤗

Thank you so much.
What people don't understand is that problem is like a visitor to everyone, it must visit and it must go.
So when people see you going through challenges they identify you with the challenges and when the problem is gone they still want to identify you with it because they never forget that challenges you pass through
Just like how we all remembered all those people that has challenges in tht Bible in those days
Dara is looking cute
Awww cutie pie is now a big girl o
Humans would always want to identify us with our challenges. Sometimes people do it to keep us down while sometimes it's just the natural thing for humans to use it to identify people.
Thank you so much, dear. She's indeed a big girl now.
Problems will come and go but God is with us through it all and that's why we need to trust God. I love your comment. You also motivated us with it.
Infact, won't it be awkward we just pass through life seamlessly just like that?
I think it will be.
Problems actually comes and with the right mindset we will conquer because God has promised us never to allow what will outweigh us visit us and He is always true to his word
"They identify you with the challenges and when the problem is gone they still want to identify you with it"
I guess That's human nature for you. Just like I always say: humans tend to lean more towards the negative aspects of life forfeiting the positive sides.
It won't still change no matter what we say or do because it's just part of those inevitable portion of life that we just can't bring to a stop. However, we could lead the way and let this change start with us!
I love this post, as we always say in my country, God squeezes but does not hang, I always trust in God's promises, the problems will always be and people often will remind you always look at the bad of each but beyond all that we must be grateful at all times, in good times and much more in trouble, just take the good experiences that leave us those problems and move forward, by the way very nice pictures with your princess, I love the first one, hug and happy week ♥
We must trust in God's promises. God never fails. It's important for us to hold fast to God's promises because He always delivers. I love your comment. It's a good one.
Always sooner or later, because His times are very perfect ♥, problems forge us of character to better face all the situations that come our way, hugs my friend @gingerup =)
Hehehe, first time hearing this and it's still sending the same message,
God never and will never fail... Thanks for your comment
That is correct, God's times are and always will be perfect, in my country we use that saying a lot when there are hardships of all kinds in life, that in spite of all that God does not abandon us, abrazo @sperosamuel15 =)
That's True... It's always easy for humans to go astray in the face of frustration but when we calm down and think about it, we will truly see that God has been good
There is joy, healing and uncountable blessings in God's presence. We have to be willing like you said and know God is able. This is an eye opening post and you delivered to us again. God bless your wisdom and the way you teach us God's Word. This is spreading God's Word.
DAughter and father are one of he blessed relations in the world, no body can love you more than your daughter,s and girls no body can love you more than your father.
Hehehe, why is it always so
It's always reversed even in my country, I don't know why though
The way we are Muslims today and our belief is that the troubles that happen come for a while and then they disappear and the wise people are those who thank their Lord even in them. And then they see how many things their Lord has given them. If we go into depression because of problems, we will never succeed in this world. Your daughter looks so cute.
Even though it might be hard to do, but then been able to thank God amidst all your earth troubles, amidst all the tribulations of this earth is something that will be very very fantastic to stick to
Really shows the extent of your faith in God... Most persons don't believe this and I think it's because they're expecting to go home with some goodies forgetting the fact that what they're going home with surpasses the good things of this life.
Amen to this prayer sir
It's easier to say things you won't be proud of later in life when you are frustrated.
When we are frustrated, it just seems as if the whole world is against us whereas we tend to forget that the only person we need to be by our side is still with us, we tend to forget that God is still with us and we can't appreciate his presence because of the various tribulations we are passing through then.
He never fails actually.
Staying and getting us this far should always assure us that he's never going to leave us.
Sleeping and waking up is more than enough reason to thank God
Urinating without catheter, eating without nasogastric tube and many more things, which other reasons are you waiting for to start jumping up and thanking God
Thanks for this wonderful post friend
Where's the lie in this?
"Sleeping and waking up is more than enough reason to thank God
Urinating without catheter, eating without nasogastric tube and many more things" I knew you were gonna come from this angle even before you said it😅
Those of us who literally spend our whole time in the hospital will really understand that life is just so fragile, and being healthy is an underrated gift, which makes us forget to express gratitude to God.
Least we forget, only the living can achieve their dreams
Oh FFS😂😂😂
You are not serious... But well, why look for examples hanging on roofs whereas I could easily related with what I see everyday, all day long 🤧
Definitely bro, the last line says it all...the living alone has got power to achieve whatever you desire regardless of how long it took.
"We allow frustration to make us forget the good things God has done with us and through us." I feel this statement is a really important point to note in this write up.
No matter what, let's not forget the good things that God has done for us. Because as humans, we always tend to remember the negative things which shouldn't be so.
If we thank God for the little he's done, he'll obviously do more. Lets learn the act of gratitude and we'll see a huge difference in our lives.
Your little girl is your carbon copy.
Some problems are meant to make us strong, and some are for testing our faith at the edge of promotion.
Many fail to remember that God will never bring your way the problem you can not overcome.
God was the one that testify about Job because God has seen the kind of man he is and God has known the level of his heart.
In the end, Job did not fail God.
I pray to have such hope, faith, and belief as Job
