JUST LET GO AND LET GOD

All of us have that one special thing that we treasure in our lives, we love that thing to much to a point we think we cant live without it. Maybe it’s a family member, money, a car or even your closest friend ever popularly known as best friend.

One might say “I can’t live without this thing”, that is a total lie because the only three things an individual cant live without is God, food and oxygen. All others are just supplements to enable us to live a better life.

We have all agreed that we all have that very special thing we treasure, we have also agreed that the only three  things we cant live without is God, food and oxygen. Now do you agree that you can live without that special thing you treasure?

Your car can get accident anytime anywhere and be crashed completely! One of your family members might get sick and suddenly die! Your best friend might decide one day to leave you after many years of building on your friendship together! Unexpected might happen anytime anywhere. I know you are wondering “did Brian come to prophesy bad things or what?” No! It is just the way life is.

I know it’s painful when you lose something valuable, but lets talk the bitter truth, you have or you will lose it at some point in your life! Maybe it will go for a season or even forever, but we shouldn’t be negative mentality because everything work for good to those who love the LORD.

Now let’s look at those things which leave our lives for just a season. This things are kind of stuff that I can say that they are very vital in our lives. They go so that we might learn from our mistakes so next time we might know how to handle them.

These things always leave us when we need them most; perhaps you wanted to tell your loved one something special the next day. Unfortunately, something just happens all of a sudden and causes both of you to disagree that night. (That’s why I always tell people there is no perfect time to say something, when you have the opportunity just tell them because you don’t know what may transpire the next minute.).

This reminds me about the story of Joseph, he had dreamt his brothers together with his parents will one day bow before him. When his brothers heard about the dream, they got envious and decided to sell him to the Egyptians.

After a while, Pharaoh’s wife falsely accused him and he was taken to jail. Joseph lost his loved ones and his freedom without any substantial reason, in fact in the Bible we don’t see any record of wrong deed associated with him

What encourages me is that the story didn’t end there; Joseph came out and not only did he regain his freedom, he was also made the Prime Minister of Egypt. Years later, his family came to Egypt and they lived happily there after.

God cannot take away something you treasure if he don’t have a better plan, NEVER! Job lost his family and wealth, but in the end God gave him back what he had lost in double measures both in quantity and in quality.

Now lets go to those things that leave our lives for good, these are the type of things don’t matter in our lives! It is extremely painful to lose them but in the end you will realize it opened the door to your destiny.

They leave us to pave way for a much better thing, in fact your destiny is too great to entertain such a small things. There is no way an electrician might remove a motherboard from a laptop, if he/she has no a better motherboard to fix it.

This tickles my mind to remember the story of David; he committed adultery with Bathsheba and she bore him a son. God was so angry with him and caused the child to be sick. When David saw the child had gotten ill, he prayed, fasted, cried to God to heal the child. A week later, he lost his son. This teaches us no matter how we pray God to save something, if it is no his will, definitely we will have to lose it!

The Bible continues to say David later slept with his wife Bathsheba and they had another son called Solomon. Remember it is through that lineage that Jesus came from.

So what are you holding so tightly, let it go and let God have his way. Yes I know it is painful, but what if it wasn’t meant to be, will you mourn the rest of your precious life? No! So now get up, wipe those tears, and say “if God doesn’t bring back what I lost, certainly he will give me a better thing!”
