THE CURSE TRAPPED IN BLESSING.

in #steemchurch6 years ago (edited)

Life has got me in a fix, it has put me in a condition I don't want to.
A situatuion I wish i had evaded...
I wish, i regret, oh God, why me.
It feels like everything is against me,
Words evade my lamentations,

Those are the questions that plagues us during the dark hours of our lives.
Those statements flow like water from our lips when circumstances go bad.
In essence, we call a circumstance bad simply because it doesn't go our way.

I know how it can feel, i have been there.

But in every curse is a blessing and in every blessing is a curse.

Every situation offers you a choice to make.
It's hard and harsh, but the situation is whatever you call it.
Your situation is either a curse to you or a blessing even if it doesn't look it.

I lost a phone, i lost an admission, i lost love, i lost money,
But as long as I haven't lost myself, i have everything and more.

In your situations, don't loose yourself.
Stay strong and firm.
Be not moved!

The sky sometimes looks very dark and cloudy, it cries down rain,
Other times, it looks pleasant and bright, beautiful weather we call it,
Other times, its dark as through it won't shine light again,
Other times, its mad with anger... and you can see thunder and lightening, cracknup the sky and shaking the earth's foundations.

But has the sky ever for once left its position of being the sky?

Don't give up on YOU
It's a test, unless you find the blessing in that situation,
The curse will haunt you.

Nothing in creation can be said to be what it is, without being tested.
Natural resources, animals, even dead stuffs were tested before being declared non-living.
Champions and world changers don't run from challenges,
It can be overwhelming, you might fail so bad and suck at it,
But don't give up!

Loosing that job is a way to tell you there is a much better opportunity for you,
Loosing love you worked at, is a sign there is love worthy of your work.
Don't give up!

Most people conclude that whatever happens to them was god'swill, they conclude God wants it and do nothing.
But when David and his men returned from war, their wives and children were taken captives already.
Guess what happened next...

He and his men, warriors, cried till they had no more strength to cry.
Tears are not a sign of weakness, you need to do that sometimes, cry if you need to, cry on someone shoulders if you need to.

If it hurts you, cry, but don't remain in that state.
The next action for David was to ask God, should I pursue, if I pursue, will I overtake?
God said to him, pursue, you will overtake and you will recover all.

When you wait for instruction,
You will get more clarity and focus.

In the end, they recovered all, they could have settled for the curse that their loved ones were already taken.
They could have given up,
They could have thrown in the towel, like most of us do at the slightest opposition.

Just like you give up on those relationships, i dare you to work it out!
Like you complain of your joblessness, i dare you to work it out!
Like you complain of your family, i Dare you to work it out!
Like you complain of your weakness and addictions, i dare you to work it out!

You can do it, because I believe in you my dear reader.

Thank you for reading, i hope this has sparked a fire that will erupt into flames in your heart.

Thanks for this! Being true to one's self and not losing one's personality no matter the hardship or affluence are true blessings that do not come with a curse.

Yes sir! Well said. Thank you for taking time to read it. I celebrate you.

If I say you are a God-sent, you would say I flatter you much. These are words to remember and go by while in a bid to shut down pessismism and its dangerous effects in our heads and advancement. The journey is not in speed but efficiency and consistency.

Thanks JamJam Papito!

Thanks baby, true. The journey is not in speed but efficiency and consistency, i love that

Stay strong bro... One. Principle i try to live my life by which has worked for me thus far, "whatever i lose today, i gain better tomorrow". All hope is not lost as long as there is still breath running through the nostrils.

Thanks big brother. Thats the spirit. As long as there is breathe, you can do much more. Thanks bro.

I lost a phone, i lost an admission, i lost love, i lost money,
But as long as I haven't lost myself, i have everything and more.
This is a major point we all need to hold on to.
One must never loose faith in him/herself.

Thumbs up @t-flames, let d fire keep burning

Yes bro. If you are in sync with yourself, you got it all. Thanks bro.
