When God Doesn't Make Sense

The will of God concerning His children is to live in joy and peace with Him all the days of our life. He made adequate provisions for that. He has the capacity to make the world free of pain and sorrow. . However, many do not realize that the will of God is not without the storm of life. There are philosophers who consider God incapacitated by the troubles of this world. In their terrible imagination, they think has lost control of the world He created. 

You may be walking in dark hours of your life and wondering where Jesus is. You may be facing some of the darkest days of your life right now. Let me remind you that our God is ever with you, He promised Abraham that he would be father of nations, yet the wife was going about barren. Abraham still believed God and at the end his miracle came. The Word of God says, "For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing." 1Peter 3: 17. 

Have you not heard people saying "But I prayed, my pastor,  peophet and children of God confirmed that my spouse was the will of God for me in marriage; therefore why all these troubles that we go through today?" Some people abandoned the so called will of God and found alternatives forgetting that the will of God is not without the storm of life.  Do you know that the bitter trials in which you found yourself is a blessing in disguise. Everything that God allows to come our way is always with a purpose. He uses even the greatest error and deepest

pain to mold us into a better person. Remember, the will of God is not without storm of life. 

 While you are in the midst of the storm of life thinking Jesus has abandoned you, remember that the will of God is not without the storm of life. Also, you must know this second truth when God doesn't make sense, the way of God to triumph is not always reasonable. Many will want to know why is the bush burning and is not consumed. This is what is called wanders and miracle. The way of God is mysterious and can not be fully comprehended. It can only be revealed. "And he made known his ways unto Moses and His ways

unto the children of Israel."' God made known his ways unto Moses and then God made known His acts unto the children of Israel. He will reveal the way to triumph over your storms and show His works in your life in Jesus name. 

You may not need to know how He will do it but trust Him and see His wonders. That was Moses desire and prayer -to know the way of God to the promised land. He says, "And Moses said unto the Lord, See,

thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt sent with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way," Exodus 33:12. If God wants you to carry out an instruction, He has prepared all it takes for you tp accomplish it. You may not be able to calculate in perfect terms how it will be done but surely you can reach the promised land as you yield to His leading. 

The Covenant Keeping God

Making a covenant entails Responsibility, Blessings and Penalty. God called Abraham and made a covenant with him. Its not just to bless him but committed Abraham to carry out certain actions in order to enjoy the blessings. The Lord said to Abraham, "This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.  For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner--those who are not your offspring.  Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant. Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant." Genesis 17: 10-14. Let us examine the three aspects of covenant as mentioned above. 

 Responsibility is the price you must pay for a desired result. It could be your action or inaction. Those who avoid responsibilities are responsible for their own peril. This is because you alone will be accountable for whatever you do or fail to do. Therefore be ready to accept responsibility for the good you expect. 

Responsibility is a form of sacrifice. In other words, responsibility requires exchange of value. You offer what you value to get what is more valuable. It is a sacrifice of personal interest for the purpose of fulfilment. Responsibility goes with accountability.  Business Dictionary defines responsibility as, "duty or obligation to satisfactorily perform or complete a task (assigned by someone, or created by one's own promise or circumstances) that one must fulfill, and which has a consequent penalty for failure ." 

You can't be aloof when you are into a covenant. There could be what to do not because you like it.  In fact it could be unpopular and against the norms and traditions of men. In the case of Abraham, he was to circumcise the male children and be circumcised. 

3 Another crucial aspect of a covenant is the attendant blessings. Every covenant made has some sort of promises that attracts interests. The blessings attached to covenants generates an overwhelming interest. It is the promises that compels one or both  party involved to be responsible.

The Significance of Number 4 in the Bible

Our God relates to the creation especially through covenant. Special blessings call for covenant relationship. For you to enjoy God fully you need covenant relationship. As you do that, every subsisting covenant that is paralysing your destiny shall be annulled in Jesus name. 

God has a covenant with the sun moon and stars. "This is what the LORD says: 'If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time," Jer. 33: 20.
This is where number 4 is derived from. Read Genesis 1: 14 -19. It is a Covenant of greatness. The word of God teaches us that God created the great lights on the 4th day. This is associated with number 4 in the Bible.
Those three elements are severally referred to as peculiar among other creations. In fact, they are crucial to determining the fate of other creatures. They are to determine time and seasons. Ecclessiastes 3: 1- 8 tells us how our destinies hang around them. I declare you a glory to recorn with in your family in Jesus name. Job Job 22: 8.
There are 4great rivers in the garden of Eden. They are full of glory, riches and wealth. The universe is divided into 4 directions. The North, Sourh, East and West. Winds from these directions gave live to dry bones in Ezekiel 37. The Lord shall bless you from the four directions of the world in Jesus name.
The 4th of the Ten Commandments is to remember and keep God's holy Sabbath day (Exodus 20:9 -11). The Sabbath day is tied directly to the creation week. God himself made the period between Friday sunset and Saturday sunset extra special when he rested on it after bringing everything into existence the previous six days (Genesis 2:1 - 3, Exodus 20:11). After Jesus was nailed and hung on a cross, Roman soldiers divided up his clothes into four parts (one for each soldier - John 19:23).
Do not take God for granted nor His Word. Whatever He says will surelly come to pass in your life in
