i want to speak to someone who may have lost hope; someone who might be discouraged; someone who just might be feeling bitten and defeated by the situations they are in or difficulties they are facing in their lives right now. it might be anything you are going through, you may be sick or your loved one is sick. you might have lost your job; you might have lost your parents; child; spouse; house, i mean anything. it does happen at times that we find ourselves in situations like these and when we look at them we tend to lose hope. God promises us that He has good plans for our lives. [Jeremiah 29:11- for i know the plans I have for you, the are not to destroy you but to prosper you.] well at times circumstances makes you feel like what the scripture is saying is not true. when you lose your parents both of them at the same time, it's not easy to find the positive in that. the pain you go through at that point in time is unthinkable.

if you lose you child, as a parent it's not easy for you to handle, because you obviously had big dreams for your child and no parent wants to bury their children, but they all hoping that their children will bury them. when you or your spouse is sick and the doctors have told you that there's nothing they can help you with anymore, you just have to accept that your situation will remain the same till your last day on earth. the thought that there is no one alive that can help you is enough to drive you mad. but in all that God is saying that He knows the plans He has for you.

it may happen that you have been going through all this pain and you've been praying to God day in and day out and yet nothing has changed. pastors and prophets have prayed for you yet there is no change in your situation. you haven't received your miracle. somehow, that could even make you to begin to doubt the word of God in your life, it could make you to lose hope in Him. under normal circumstances it is understandable for you to feel so, but i want you to keep this in mind that He said He has good plans for your life and just hold on to that.

I know that you might be asking yourself that "how is possible for me to hold on to these words while i have lost both my parents, my health has been declared to be the worst?" [Romans 8:28 for we know that everything works together for the good of them who LOVE the Lord, and are called according to His purpose.] it will be hard to understand this if you do not love God, you need to love Him and give your life to Him. the scripture says 'for them who love the Lord'. so it all begins by loving God, it begins by being in a relationship with Him. you can never be able to hold on to His word if you are not in a relationship with Him. you can not be called according to His purpose if you're not in a relationship with Him. your life could not be according to His plan if you're not in a relationship with Him, because you would be rebellious towards His purpose for your life. so everything begins with a relationship with God.

it might happen that you love God and you gave your life to Him, you are a born again christian yet you've been praying and your prayers haven't been answered. one of the reasons why your prayers are not answered is your commitment to Him. we have this problem of seeking God only when we need a miracle, when things are going right we don't even think about Him. we treat God like a booty call, we treat Him like a one night stand. but God wants intimacy with you, He won't respond to booty calls. He wants you to be committed to Him, it's all or nothing. He don't just want half of you, all of you. then again you might say to me that you are commited to Him, you gave your all to Him. the truth is, it does happen that even if your are that commited to Him, you find that there is this situation about your life that just won't change. you may have prayed all kinds of prayers, even prayed in tounges, casted demons out, shouted until you went polite. yet there's no change in your situation. the question is, "What could be wrong"? could it be that you are oding something wrong? well God says: "be still and know that i am God" [Psalm 46:10] when God tells you to be still, He doesn't say thst you must be still while things are going right, infact when something is being still. that means there has to be a storm but it stood still to it's foundation. God asks you to be still in your situation, He doesn't say when the storm is over you can be still, but right in the middle of your storm be still and know that I am God. because i know the plans i have for your life. what we seem to not understand is that, what you going through right now may be a set up for you to recieve greater things from God.

God may let you go through pain just to reveal Himself to people, He may let you go through poverty and supply for your needs just to make His name know amoung the people that surounds you. He could let you go through these things, but He won't leave you. He will be with you. i'm not saying that now you should now stop praying, continue to pray evn when things don not change. but i just want you to change the type of prayer you are praying. it could happen that you've been praying for deliverence or healing or prosperity or wealth. and all those prayers haven't been answered. [Matthew 26:39] when Jesus was going through difficult time He prayed to God to remove the cup infront of Him, that cup was filled with suffering; pain all the suffering you could ever imagine. but when He prayed for it to be removed, He then said "let not it be my will, but let your will be done". you see many times we pray for things we desire, but we do not pray for the will of the Lord. i want to encourage you today that you pray for the will of God in your life. the prayer that Jesus tought His deciples is now making sense. "let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". i want to encourage you today to start praying that prayer, to start meditating on that prayer. that prayer has everything you need to do when you speaking to God. you praise Him; you glorify Him; you give Him authoriy over your life.

Pray for the will of God, say Father let your will be done over my life, over my finacies, over my health, over my family, over my property, over my job,over my kids,wife, husband, mother, my daddy. father take control over everything. that should not be hard to trust on, for He said He has good plans for your life. it's time you let go and let God take over, your own efforts have failed. they haven't been sucssesful
