GOD CANNOT BE PREDICTED

By -
'His son Saul was the most handsome man in Israel—head and shoulders taller than anyone else in the land’. 1 Samuel 9:2. The scriptures are discussing the first king of Israel, who was rejected by God because of his disobedience (1 Samuel 15:10-23). God then sent Prophet Samuel to Jesse's house to anoint him another king for Israel. When all the Jesse children arrived and Samuel saw Eliab's appearance and stature, he concluded in his heart that he was God's chosen. God reacted quickly in 1 Samuel 16:7. 'But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Don't judge him by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. ' The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
God is unpredicted and unchangeable. He sits in heaven and does what He desires, and no one can ask Him why (Psalm 115:3, Daniel 4:35). Just because he did it in a certain way yesterday doesn't imply that it will be the same way today. The approach He took last year to meet your needs may not be the same this year. The manner in which He did it for someone may not be the same as how He will do it for you.
 Jesus healed a blind man by spitting on the ground, making mud with the saliva, applying it to his eyes, and telling him to wash it in the pool of Siloam. However, in the case of Bartimaeus, Jesus just said, 'All right, receive your sight! ' Your faith has healed you. ” And the man was healed (Luke 18:35-42). Don't let too much familiarity with God lead to the loss of your miracle. Just listen to Him, believe Him, and do what He advises you to do. Don't allow your heart to become hardened or stiff-necked.  Though nothing shall be impossible with Him (Luke 1:37), He also has the power to do it in His own way and in His own time, but not yours.

    What a powerful and insightful reflection on the nature of God and His ways!

    You've beautifully highlighted the importance of trusting in God's sovereignty and unpredictability. As you've noted, God doesn't operate based on human expectations or past experiences. He is the Almighty, who does as He pleases, and His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).

    The examples you've shared from Scripture are particularly striking. The story of Saul's rejection and David's anointing reminds us that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances (1 Samuel 16:7). And the accounts of Jesus' healings demonstrate that God's methods can vary greatly, even when the outcome is the same.

    Your warning against becoming too familiar with God is also timely. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking we know how God will work or when He will answer our prayers. But as you've emphasized, God's ways are unpredictable, and we must remain humble, trusting, and obedient.

    Thank you for sharing this inspiring and thought-provoking message!

    May we indeed learn to trust in God's sovereignty, listen to His voice, and follow His leading, even when His ways seem mysterious or unpredictable.

WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION

By -

November 16th-22nd is designated as World Antibiotic Awareness Week, what is the reason behind it? Antibiotics (Greek anti, “against”; bios, “life”) is chemical compounds used to kill or inhibit the growth of infectious organisms. Originally, the term referred only to organic compounds, produced by bacteria or molds that are toxic or other microorganisms. The term is now used loosely to include synthetic and semisynthetic organic compounds. Although these drugs are excellent, they are being utilized improperly due to the lack of prescriptions, which is harmful and dangerous for our health. This is exactly what most Christians do. We seldom go to God to inquire before embarking on a project, but instead go ahead on our own strength. This is contrary to the Bible's advice to trust in the LORD with all your heart and not depend on our own understanding. Seeking his will in everything you do will guide you to the right path. ( Proverbs 3:5-6 ) The Gibeonite deceived Israel in Chapter 9...

THE HIJACKED LIFE

By -

  The 9/11 attack, where two planes were hijacked and flown into the North and South Towers of The World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in both towers collapsing, remains one of the unforgettable occurrences in the world.   The attack was not planned by the original pilot of the plane, but it happened because some terrorist hijacked the plane from them. The Scripture mentions a demon-possessed man who lived in a tomb in Gadarenes. Despite being naked and unable to be held by a chain or shackles, it was discovered that an army of unclean spirits was inhabiting him. They are the ones controlling his life. They've hijacked it from him and make him do whatever they want. After Jesus removed them from his life, the man became still and free and began spreading the Gospel of the Lord ( Luke 8:26-39). Most of us are living a life that we don't want or like to live, but we can't control it. It's because our life has been hijacked by the devil or his agent in human for...

THE END MAY COME SUDDENLY (WASHINGTON DC PLANE COLLISION)

By -

 I was reading about the victims of the event where all 67 people aboard an American Eagle flight from Kansas and an Army helicopter were killed in a collision over the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday, January 29. Among those are children with great futures, wonderful families, one just engaged to be married, and one just promoted in their job. Before the unimaginable happened, a passenger called her partner and assured her that he would meet her in a few minutes.  You may be joking about it or taking it not seriously when you hear about the second coming of the Lord, or saying that Jesus can't come now. What happens if death comes? Where will you spend eternity? Heaven or a lake of fire? The Scripture says in Hebrew 9:27 'And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment’. I am not attempting to frighten you, but I want to inform you that what will happen to you in the next minute is unknown. If you do not ...
