On Whom To Depend ?

 

It's always said that 

"Depending on the right thing will ease your stress completely". 

I know you will cent percent agree with me. We always tend to depend on the wrong person and mess up the whole situation by making it worst. Being human we tend to depend on someone or the other. 

Call it as taking some crucial decision regarding our business or career or relationship, we tend to consult. By consulting we get a broader perspective and their solution might be the best option to opt for. But now the question is,

On whom to depend ?

I would suggest by my personal experience that not to depend on any person, instead, depend on GOD. People tend to go wrong many a timeout GOD is never wrong.

We being human, have many limitations and boundaries to our wisdom, but GOD has no boundaries. He is the GOD of wisdom. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. The scripture says that, "God's foolishness is greater than our wisdom."

So never rely on your own wisdom or anybody else's wisdom but rely on GOD because his wisdom is vaster than the sky which is immeasurable.

Why to depend on GOD ?

When we look in the book of GENESIS, we can say that the first man Adam had no wisdom, he was completely relied on GOD. Even though God created Adam in his own image and likeness, he lacked wisdom. But when he ate the fruit from the tree of wisdom, his mind was opened and he was able to differentiate between good and evil. The GOD who created such a great fruit, just think about the wisdom of that GOD ALMIGHTY.

When we look at Solomon, he asked GOD for wisdom. And GOD blessed him with wisdom and during his reign the scripture says that there was no war. That's the power of the heavenly wisdom.

During the time of Elisha, we read about the miracle of overflowing oil. The poor widow who wasn't able to pay her debts and feed her son's, went to Elisha and asked him to pray. When Elisha prayed and asked her to bring as many jars as possible and put a little of oil it. The widow kept on pouring oil and the jars were miraculously filled with oil and the oil overflowed in such a manner that no empty jars were left. The widow was able to clear all her debts and her son's lived happily for the rest of their life by selling oil from the jar.

When we look at the life of Job, Satan tried to harm him but he wasn't able to get near to Job and his household  because of the hedge of fire which GOD put around Job and his household.

When the ARMY of the King of Aram came to capture Elisha at Dothan, Elisha prayed to the LORD, to blind the eyes of the ARMY. So GOD struck them with blindness. Even though Elisha was before them, they weren't able to recognise him as GOD had struck them with blindness.

When we look at 2 Chronicles 20, we see the Kings of Moabites, Ammonites and Meunites came for war against Jehoshaphat, the King Of Judah. As soon as the war began, Jehoshaphat sent the choicest singers ahead of his armies as prophesied by God through Jahaziel (no one neither Jehoshaphat nor his army moved ahead but only the singers came in the frontline) started glorifying, praising and worshipping GOD. And as soon as they started praising GOD, GOD struck the armies of Moabites, Ammonites and Meunites with confusion. And the armies of these three great countries started killing each other and the Kings also killed each other. Not a single person was left alive. In this way, GOD gave victory to JUDAH.

There are many more examples of GOD's miracle how he saved his people who depended on him. A whole day will be less to list down about his glories and miracles.


But I just want to point at only one thing that,

"Our GOD is an awesome GOD and he can do anything. Nothing is impossible for him. But we just need to depend on him and keep faith on him. Rest he will take care of everything."


Call it a sickness, death, financial problems or any problems, our God is able to do matchless things and bible is a proof of that.

Fulfillments of my need through Jesus Christ

I would have never known about the power of God till he made these things possible in my life.

I was working for an organisation A where I worked really hard day and night but nothing turned out in my favour as my manager was against me and he was poisoning the mind of my HOD which turned out to be a dangerous snare for me. Me, being straightforward used to stand for what is right and this made me a stumbling block in the path of my manager. My manager poisoned my HOD's mind to such an extent that they tried to fire me more than five times. But our GOD is gracious. I was completely dependent on him. So they weren't able to fire me as my LORD was a shield for me and he blessed me with such a great wisdom which made my HOD and manager depend on me.

Now he started to sideline me by not assigning me any task so that he may show this as a drawback in our team meet. But our GOD is Jehovah Jireh - Our Provider, somehow or the other GOD used to provide me tasks and I was able to showcase my work during the team meet.

Now it has been 1year, I was praying for a new job at my desired location. But since the situation worsened day by day, I decided to resign from my position. With no other offer in my hand and a great financial crisis in my house due to the Corona, I was in great distress. But I never lost my hope. I was giving interviews but I wasn't able to crack it as I lacked technical skills. But I didn't lose my hope.

Now, it was Nov 6, 2020 and I was done with my notice period. I along with my family went to our native place to attend a function. I enjoyed a lot trying to divert my mind from this jobless stress. But I wasn't able to do so. And the month of November ended up with a good note.

Now here arrived the month of December and I was cashless with just Rs.100 in my account on one end and no interview calls on the other. I was ready to even work for the BPOs as a customer service executives for less salary. But I never blamed GOD and sat in the corner of our house weeping whole day, but instead I prayed and worshipped GOD because I knew something wonderful is awaiting for me before the year 2020 ends.

Our GOD is so gracious that I got a job at my desired location for which I was praying from past 1year 3months. Without any interview, a kind man of GOD offered me a job before the year ended. Salary offered to me was less as compared to my previous organisation but I really thanked GOD for at least I was able to fulfil all my needs instead of depending on my parents.

Now my personal laptop was not working and for this job I needed a laptop. But the first question that came into my mind was "How can I get a laptop for just 100 bucks? And my current financial crisis didn't allow me to buy a new one. Even I can't approach my Father as he had lost his job due to the Corona pandemic."

I knew my laptop was not working but still I opened it. I laid my hand on my laptop and I prayed. And in the name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, I clicked on the power button. You won't believe what I saw. My Laptop switched ON and it started working. It was slow in terms of processing but still it was manageable. 

My LORD has shown many miracles in my life and this is just a fraction of it. I will be sharing my testimony in my upcoming blogs. I would like to conclude today's blog by saying that


"To let GOD execute his glory in our life, we will have to depend on him and keep faith on him by waiting for the right time."



NOTE :-
  1. Call it a material need or solutions for any crucial problems or any barriers or sickness in us, our GOD was able, is able and will always be able to do anything.
  2. Nothing is impossible for our GOD.
  3. Depend on GOD and he will surely reveal himself to you
  4. For us, it is impossible but for GOD everything is possible.
  5. People will always let us down, but GOD will never let us down.

Soul Tie

  Soul Tie ? Puzzled ? What's that ? Today we will see what soul ties are. What is a Soul Tie ? A soul tie binds to the emotions of a person. In soul tie our emotions, desire, passion, mind, heart, soul gets bound to that person. The soul tie happens when we spend more time with a person. So it is very important to hang around or to keep relationship / friendship with a right person. Irrespective of whom you spend your time with, no matter its a boy or a girl, a brother or a sister, a friend or a girl friend or a boyfriend, Soul ties can occur in any relationship. To describe soul tie, I will be taking two references from the Bible. The first reference is taken from the book of  1 Samuel 18:1  says, " After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in Spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. " And second reference is taken from  Psalms 1:1  and it says " Blessed is the man who does not walk in the co...

Life is all about being an INSPIRER

Life is all about inspiration, who inspires us and whom do we tend to inspire. Inspiration tends to leave a huge impact on us. People can be positively inspired or negatively inspired depending on the situation they are going through. Both inspirations have the tendency to build as well as to break down and destroy. 1] Positively Inspired People :- “ Inspiration comes from within yourself. One has to be positive. When you’re positive, good things happen. ” —Deep Roy Not all are a positive inspiration for others but we can, by just thinking and finding good in every situations. According to the Psychology, it has scientifically been proved that “ We tend to attract things what we think “. If we think good we attract every good things that fall on our way and if we are being negative, we tend to attract all negative energies that fall on our way.  Psychology says, what we think whether good or bad, our subconscious mind has the ability to bring it to existence. Now let’s put li...
