TOPIC: HOW TO BE LED BY GOD: WHEN GOD DOES NOT MAKE SENSE
TEXT: Hebrews 3:1,5:13-14, Isaiah 55:8-9, Psalms 92:5, Hosea 14:9
When I ask you what your profession is, you'd say you're a doctor, lawyer, teacher, or accountant, but that's not your profession. As a Christian, your profession is faith. The church is filled with people who are babes in the word; they are children and are not discerned by the exercise of the word. Such that when they encounter challenges, they fall from the faith.
The phrase "When God Doesn't Make Sense" captures those puzzling moments in the believer's journey when Divine instructions defy human logic, contradict human reasoning, challenge emotions, stretch faith, and demand trust without clarity. There are seasons in life when you will not have clarity. There are times when God does things that don't make sense; at such times, follow God.
There are three ways of doing things in life:
a)the right way,
b) the wrong way,
c) God's way.
And most of the time, what people call the right way is not always the right way, because there is always God's way. In God's plan, purpose takes precedence over everything else. In God's scheme of things, purpose is more important than everything else. Jesus lived a life of purpose, and His death at the age of 33 was filled with God's purpose for His life. Anna the prophetess, who was also a widow, devoted her life to prayer until Jesus was born. So while waiting for your answer to come, as a single man or lady, pause for a while and ask God about what your present assignment is. Unfortunately, Everybody will not get married, but everybody can fulfill destiny. The story of Tamah would have been different if she had looked beyond the pain of being violated by her brother that she did a bitter person. Let's imagine that she underwent counselling and was healed of her bitterness, and began to get active in service, baptized with an unusual anointing, a became a minister in the direction of her calling. She would have fulfilled her purpose thereby. Just like Joyce Meyer today.
Do you remember Tamah, the daughter-in-law of Judah? He was married to Judah's son, who was said to be wicked in the sight of God, but God killed him. His brother was killed by God when he refused to get Tamah pregnant and raise a child for his brother. She should have been bitter, but she wasn't. She ended up being the mother of Perez, who was the son she had with Judah, her father-in-law, through whom the prophecy of the Messiah was fulfilled. Jesus is called the" Lion of the Tribe of Judah". When John the Baptist was in prison, he queried whether Jesus was truly the Messiah or if someone else was to be expected. Jesus' response to him was Blessed is the person who is not offended by Him. He was beheaded. The point is that bitterness can lead to death.
Always remember that despite the daunting challenges you may be facing, there's always a purpose, even when God doesn't make sense.
Romans 8:28 says, "For we know that all things worketh together for good to them that love God". Even when God's ways do not make sense, keep following Him, because whatever it is you're going through will surely end in praise.
GOD BLESS YOU
