Being obedient to God's Will reveals His wisdom

    "We are all connected in God's Plan" 

"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise."

                                                                   Ephesians 5:15

To live circumspectly means to live our lives with the understanding that the whole of our lives is connected.

Our Lord and Savior wants us to always live our lives knowing that we are all connected to each other. 

It's important to note how God connects the dots in each of our lives when we are obedient in doing His Will. There are no coincidences that are in our lives, including when my wife crossed paths with this wonderful man's wife who God wanted to bless. God expects us to live with the understanding that the whole of our lives are connected with each other.

Depending on God's Will, He will bless us by bringing the same people to cross paths in our lives for just one moment, or for a season.

Just like those who  were my heroes of faith,  I knew that it was my turn to glorify God by showing my love for Him by my obedience to His Will by getting this message to this wonderful man.

 "And tell him, Blessed is the one who does not lose his faith in me."

 Luke 7:23

So I joined a class just so that I may relay this message to the guest speaker who was also was the brother of this wonderful man.

So I waited for the right time when we were alone, I did not leave during the class break to get something to eat or drink just so I could share this wonderful news with the man related to him.

Just like Moses, I probably did not possess the gift of eloquent speech to deliver such a important message.

Sadly the person I shared this with did not seem to believe what God wanted to do for this man. 

Little did I know the adversities, obstacles, and the problems that would lie ahead of me.

"Jesus said: I tell you this that you must give an account on judgment day of every idle word that you speak."   Matthew 12:36

In over ten years I have never had a problem with anyone at this wonderful man's place of worship. The Spirit of our Lord comforted me and reminded me not to worry, I was enlightened to the fact that this man who had no faith in what God wanted to do for his brother.  He also did not have any faith another time when this wonderful man who was his brother came to him to ask for his support and his faith in something wonderful that God has laid on his heart. And that was for this wonderful man to leave the Church location that he was presently at and to move to a much bigger location that the Lord wanted him to move to in complete faith.

"Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust." Psalm 40:4

The brother who did not have the faith to believe in this wonderful message that God had asked me to give to him did not also have the faith to move from the smaller Church to the one that they are at today. And he told his wonderful brother who was acting out on faith to not move the Church and to just stay where they were. This brother who had no faith also shared with the class that if his brother did not pursue his calling from God that he probably would have went into construction.

Praise the Lord that this wonderful man who God wanted to bless did not listen to his brother who had no faith.

Because this wonderful man acted out on faith, he and his Ministry are being greatly blessed for it today including the brother who had no faith. I can see why God wanted to bless this wonderful man again.

When I, the Messiah, return, how many will I find who have faith?"

Luke 18:8

There were many things that happened during this time that tested my very faith to God and my love to this man who did not deliver this message. I was deeply hurt from the things he said in front of my precious little girl. And it is not important to discuss them here because it is all about bringing glory to God by telling others that God will never leave you one time and that He is close to the broken hearted. You can learn more about this from this wonderful man who God wanted to bless by reading his first book; "God never waste a hurt!"

"These trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests gold and purifies it- and your faith is far more precious to God than gold; so if your faith is remanins strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of his return." 1 Peter 7

It is our purpose in life to share with all others a glimpse of the life of Jesus and what He would do by showing others our unconditional love and our life of total forgiveness.

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

 I asked God to bless me with the clarity of mind and spirit to see the goodness in this man who did not believe and for me to love him as myself.

"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." 1 John 3:18

God has answered my prayers and I can truly say before God that I do love this man and I know God has great plans for him. I pray that this good man of God who had little faith on that fateful day will continual to show that his spirit is blessed with the clarity of mind that exemplifies the seriousness of what is important to God and that is to give glory to God's name in everything that we say and do.

 "If you don't change your ways and give glory to my name, then I will send terrible punishment upon you, and instead of giving you blessings as I would like to, I will turn on you with curses. Indeed, I have cursed you already because you haven't taken seriously the things that are most important to me." Malachi 2: 2

I have learned to forgive and to love this man because that is not only God's Will but also God's Way. I believe that he is a good man of God and I know that God is shaping each one of our hearts and our faith so that we may bring Him all the praise and all the glory. I believe that God not only tested my faith through this ordeal, but that He tested the brother's faith in where he stood in glorifying God in the future.

Not long after this ordeal, the brother who had no faith and did not deliver this message from God to his brother, had seperated from this Church and is now the Pastor at another Church for the last couple of years, many miles down the road. I believe God is shaping his life daily so that his faith will increase to hear the voice of God speaking through others as well as his blessings so that he may follow in his brothers foot steps of glorifying God in everything that we say and do.

"You see, God doesn't just see the obstacles of what this man is doing against Him in the present, He sees the blessings in what this man is going to do in glorifying God in the future."

"The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" Luke 17:5

God's Spirit told me that being blessed has has nothing to do with the number of people who acknowledges us as number one . It has everything to do with who we acknowledge is "Number One," and are we faithfully obedient to God's Will and His way.

"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17

 

Some of the blessings I give glory to God

May we all glorify God in everything that we say and do.

It is not my job or my responsibility to force anyone to believe what God wants to do for them in their lives, just like it was not this wonderful man's responsibility to force his brother to have the faith to move to a much bigger location for their Church.

This is true when we share with others what God's Word says on being saved.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2: 8

People do not become saved because of us, we are only the messenger. It is up to the Holy Spirit and God's Word to convict them to accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

We are never failures if we are obedient to God's Will and somebody does not accept Christ or they do not believe in what He has planned for them in His Will.

God has blessed my family and me so many times for standing up with faith and for being obedient to His Will, and He wants to do the same for you.

Just do your part, and God will do the rest.

"This is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith." 1 John 5:4
