Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled...
8th April, 2022.
We are in a world where troubles and confusions keep on tormenting people day after day. The simple truth is that, in as much as we still reside in this world, then we are all bound to experience troubles.
There are different perspectives of troubles; Psychological, Marital, Financial, Mental, Physical, Spiritual, Religious and even Political troubles. There is no life free of troubles, even with those that have accepted Christ as their personal lord and saviour. Jesus was troubled on Earth, likewise his apostles.
There are a lot of things that can induce trouble. Be it when you pray and God is silent, when you are looking for the fruit of the womb, looking for a lucrative job, seeking admission, or even when you are expecting money from someone, and such person disappoints you.
"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death".- Philippians 3 v 10(KJV)
The fellowship of his suffering as stated in the biblical passage above means your dealing with Christ will make you experience troubles. For every crown, there must be a cross. As a Christain, sometimes we experience some certain things which will make us think God doesn't even exist.
"Then he said unto them, my soul is sorrowful, even unto death, tarry ye here and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face saying, O my father, if it be possible, let this cup pass over me: nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt"- Matthew 26 v 38- 39(KJV)
You may pray and nothing happens, remember Jesus said; let not your heart be troubled.
People you trust may disappoint you. It might be your best friend, your spouse, or even your blood siblings. Your friends might be making it while aren't, and you feel why is your case different. It may seem you are behind your colleagues maritally or vocationally, maybe your business is not booming as you would like, your children might not give you joy, remember Jesus said Let not your heart be troubled.
THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE TROUBLED:
Frustration
Depression
Sucide thoughts
Backsliding
Sorrows and so on....
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO..
Believe in God
Be thankful
Worship and praise God
Double your alms giving
Pray everyday; to mention a few.
CONCLUSION
Listen to the conclusion of the whole matter brethrens, according to the book of John 14:1, 9-10 (KJV) which says Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works, and also John 14:27 (KJV) which says Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
PRAYER
Say this short prayer after me;
Lord God, I bring my broken heart to you, I pray that you will heal me in the name of Jesus. Your word says you sent forth your word and it healed their diseases, I pray that by your mercy you will heal my troubled heart in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Congratulations.
