Christ dependency

What will we do when we are in the midst of a perfect storm? How will we response to averse situations or bad reports?

Many a times we look to the natural means to manage the averse situations. We will try our level best to combat the perfect storm. We will rely on our own strength to see us through. So the saying goes, if you don't take care of the issue at hand, no one will. If you are not the one to handle the situation, no one will. Also, if it is to be, it is up to me!

How far away from the truth we can be. We are totally limited in and of ourselves. There is only so much natural resources that we can tap on. There is only so much that we, in the natural, can do. Beyond that, there is absolutely nothing we can do about the bad situations, the dire straits, the bad reports, etc.

If only we will come to this realization as soon as possible. Without Christ, we are nothing. NOTHING!

With Christ, I have everything. The bible says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. We need to just trust Jesus to see us through the shadow of the valley of death. Nothing is impossible to God. Our part is to believe. When we depend on Christ Jesus, we will have good success. We, though already victorious in Christ, will come out victorious in our challenges when we rely on Christ's goodness and mercy to see us through.

In the natural, Lazarus had died for four days. Yet the moment Jesus stepped into the situation, Lazarus was raised from the dead. In the natural, the blind beggar had been blind for thirty eight years. The moment Jesus proclaimed his forgiveness of sin and his wholeness, he immediately was made whole and followed Jesus. In the natural, Joseph and Mary were poor. When Jesus was born, gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh came pouring in.

When we are Christ dependent, Jesus will see to it that we come out of it victorious. Jesus will never let the righteous soul to famish. His grace will not allow us to suffer more than what we are capable of bearing. God is faithful. He is love. We can depend on Him for our every need and want. Just believe and trust His loving kindness.

What are we speaking to our lives?

What we speak into our lives is so important that most people will take it for granted. Yet the bible says death and live are in the power of the tongue.

Many a times we will speak bad regarding difficult situations. Sometimes we speak bad of people whom we don't really like. Sometimes we will even criticize other people of their wrong doings. How often do we speak bad into these things and not the good things that we want to see? Do we want to see good happening or bad to manifest?

More often than not, we want to see good things happening in our lives. Yet we are quick to speak bad things in our lives. I am not saying that by proclaiming good things to happen means there will be no bad happenings. I am saying that the more good stuffs that we proclaim in our lives and believe they will happen, things will turn out to be good for us.

If we want to have robust health, start to speak great health into our lives. If we want to have more in our finances, start to speak prosperity into our lives. If we want to have a good career, start to speak greatest of achievement into our lives. Believe in what we speak into our lives and we will start to see good things happening in our lives. We will start to experience good happenings.

There is power in our speaking. Speak good things into our lives and experience God's goodness happening in our lives.
