Heavy Hearts

Emotional wounds are the most difficult to heal. However, there is a balm in Gilead!

Ps. 126:6 NKJV says; "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him".

Ps.126:6 The Message puts it like this; "So those who went off with heavy hearts  will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing".

What are you working on, toiling and labouring at and it seems you are constantly weeping? Is your marriage making you weep? Do you keep sowing, making efforts, planting seeds of love, submission and virtue and it seems you have nothing to show for it? Is your situation tempting you to go the way of the world and do what others do? Have you been disappointed in relationships and you are afraid to venture into any new one even when you are sure God is in it? If you have been disappointed know this that God has better plans for you. Do not give yourself away to someone who does not appreciate you and will only tolerate or manage you for life.

Hold on to the word of God and do not loose heart or faith. The seeds you are planting will doubtless germinate because God is the one watering them. Your time to bring in your “sheaves” is near; sheaves of joy, effortless triumph, productivity and peace within your home. Yes, you will bring them in loads with joy in your heart and others will use your situation as a point of contact. For you to “bring in your sheaves” you have to allow God to fight your battle and plead your case.  The understanding of the following will guide your conduct:

=>You are limited in your ability, therefore, do not take on the fight physically, go into your closet and commune with God. Since He is the Judge of the whole earth, He can never be unjust, so He will rule in your favour this week and an end will come to your sorrow.

=> If your spouse has changed overnight or someone else is contending with you over his heart, you will waste your time by fighting, arguing and nagging. The best solution is to go to the source and control things from that realm.  God has given us so much power to affect our situation and circumstance from the realm of the spirit, so prayer is the key. We are like our Father, the decree of the tower of Babel operates with accuracy!(Gen. 11:6-7)

=> Stop talking to man (human beings). All they can offer you is pity, God alone is the one who can offer you peace and what you desire, do not be too busy to commune with Him.

=>Patience is a virtue, required for every situation, ask God for patience and you will see your desire over your enemy.

=> If your friends know how to ‘deal with such situation’ by confronting, harassing and organizing fights they will only offer bandage solution that will lead to your own loss, can their effort yield  a lasting solution? God is able to turn around the heart of the king in your favour.

Go into this week assured of the word of God and weep no more, for you will yet rejoice!

What Angle?

"We do not see things the way they are, we see them the way we are" - Rick Warren. Isnt it so true? If you are optimistic and trust in God, things are likely to work out regardless of stress and pressure. However, if the glass is always half empty, you may always whine and complain. Your perception will determine your attitude and disposition, these ultimately affect the outcome of what you do.


As husbands, fathers, wives, mothers, single and successful individuals(thats how you should perceive yourself regardless of what you see now) what is your perception about your home? "Marriage does not really work anymore, we just have to keep at it, struggle and patch it". If you have that attitude towards your circular job is that likely to bring success or promotion?


The same way you desire promotion, increase and improvement at work should be the same way you work at improving the home front. We take courses to improve our knowledge, we exhibit team work, people skills, emotional intelligence and focus to rise through the ranks at work... there is the primary work God has given us, what is our perception about it?


Marriage is God's idea, he wants you to find joy, promotion and fulfilment within it but it is work too!!! What areas can you improve yourself in order to improve your home; self control, perseverance, initiative, selflessness, kind words, smiles, ability to listen to someone else's view point, ability to overlook faults and generosity are a few courses we can take In God's school to improve in our marriage relationship.


If you get a job through networking, you will require personal focus, improvement and determination to sustain it. It does not matter how you got into marriage; make the best of it and make it work. If you are planning or hoping to get married, you have to start sowing the seed of prayers NOW! There are people who will not have it any other way; they will still marry their spouses if there is another life! What angle are you looking at things from? A warped angle can never produce a straight view. Align your view with God's angle.

Blessings!
