stop stealing glances

i was faced with a challenge sometime ago
i spoke about it to my friends they couldn't help
i prayed about it, God spoke to me but i ignored it cause it wasn't what i wanted at the moment
i thought deeply about the situation, thoughts only drained my energy
it was strange, i couldn't just understand why i was not able to deal with it
everything felt wrong 
i picked up my pen and my journal and asked God to speak to me again about the situation
and He took me to  Mathew 14:29-30 
verse 30 says when peter SAW the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, lord, save me.
  so many times we are praying to God for help, but our eyes are somewhere else, we are saying Lord bring me out of it, but we are stealing glances at it, you are saying father i dont wanna be hear anymore, but every single time you think, look, speak, its about that place 
 where your focus is, your heart magnifies, you cant magnify things without focus
God wants to raise us up but we are too comfortable complaining
God wants to express his perfect love, but we are craving for man's imperfect love
the challenge is not really the problem
the pain is not really the problem
the delay is not really the problem 
the main problem is our readiness to step out of a situation 
the problem is we want our feelings,thoughts, state of mind to control the situation morethan we want God to control the situation
the problem is the fear to change
the problem is we don't hate the condition more than we want the change 
the problem is the direction of our focus
the problem is where the treasure lye
the problem is its too good to let go but if you don't let go something good causing a major harm, you cant get the best. "you cant put old wine into new wine skin"
 we need to change where the treasure lye so that our heart will change location of its magnification. 
we need to trust God to fix things perfectly, we need to get over the fear of, if we lean on God we would loose ''something". focusing on the problem creates a state of impossibility, focusing on God creates a channel of endless possibility.
we need to trust God more.
focus on what God can do concerning the situation and not what the situation is doing to you.

STIRRING

According to biblical record, there is a pool in Jerusalem called Bethesda, in this pool lay a great multitude of people, the blind, lame, paralyzed waiting for the water to move. An angel went down the pool and stirred it at a particular season whosoever went down the pool first after the stirring is made whole. John5:1-5     while i read the scripture i looked out to see if they mentioned the content in the pool of bethesda that the angel went to stir, but i didnt get any of such information. The scripture mentioned that once the angel stirred the water, the first entered and received healing. from my personal analogy, i assumed that once the angel stirred the water, the first person got into the water and contacted every content stirred out of the water and got healed as a result.    WOW..... great scripture    i want you to say this words slowly and carefully..... i have every content i need for Life and Godliness all i need is a stirring....       i dont care what the conditio

Royal law........

Hello... I am so sorry, I know it's been long since I came here... Okay lemme share a bit of my thought with you.   Sometime ago, my friend posted something on her profile.. It read "Queens don't chase, because when they do, their crowns fall off"... First expression was Wow... Nice... But my second thought cut the expreasion short... Which was   KINGS also wear crowns..so if Queens don't chase because their crowns will fall, Kings are also not suppose to chase cause their crowns will also fall...considering the fact that they even wear heavier crowns....  So who is now suppose to chase... For close to 10mins I had no answer... But after thinking for a while... I got an answer and it is really simple....  This was where my answer came from.... Christ came to the world for his bride, and Christ who is the groom is a King...as a matter of fact, the king of all kings... When he came to the world, he didnt come with his crown, he didn't come with his title, h
