When Life Seems Difficult and Hopeless

-

Happy weekend, friends. It’s always my joy to share these writings with you. Hope you had a great week and everyone in the family did.

Today, I want to share with you a few words of encouragement.

Perhaps, you might be going through something difficult and life might seem hopeless for you. You might feel frustrated and overwhelmed by what you are going through. Each of us goes through trials. And even though they may come in different ways and vary from person to person, they are essentially all challenges.

It’s one thing to know that what you are going through has a solution. But it’s another thing to be able to find the solution and work things out. Most of the time, it’s not easy to navigate difficulties or challenges. Your mind is consumed by the issue at hand, making it difficult to focus on other areas of your life. I understand. It’s the same for many of us.

But you know what? We have hope assured. We are confident in whom we believe. We don’t live this life on our own. We have an Anchor. We have a Father. We are divinely guided and led. Even when we veer off course, we will be redirected back to the right path. We will be made whole again.

Whatever you are going through right now, I want you to be assured that your situation has a solution. And that the solution is achievable. It is available. And the Lord will make things work out for you. Life will be better for you again. Things will improve. 

The challenges you face now are what many others have faced and they came out. You also will come out. You will not be left alone. 

Look at what scripture says: "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." (1 Cor. 10:13)

And Christ, having once been in the flesh, has experienced whatever we are going through now. He knows our pains and concerns. He understands our troubles and worries.

The important thing is for us to remain calm and believe His word. We should receive His word and let it comfort us. We should be guided and instructed by His Spirit.

Here’s another point I want to share – learn from others who have faced challenges similar to yours. Read books, listen to podcasts, watch videos on YouTube, and explore other social media platforms that share stories of triumph over adversity. It’s crucial to boost our faith and find comfort while navigating our own challenges. We are assured and reassured that all will be well, eventually.

Additionally, the experiences of those who have overcome challenges can provide valuable insights into what to do, as well as lessons learned from their mistakes.

That’s why I always encourage people to write books. I encourage them to document their lives and share their stories with others. This can have a profound impact beyond what words can tell. People will learn a great deal from you and will appreciate and celebrate your life because it has added so much value to theirs.

That is what I have done myself. I wrote a memoir about a major turbulence I experienced in my life, and many people were blessed by the book. I also wrote a book about my mother, sharing valuable insights and lessons from her life—a life of grace and strength. I cannot emphasize enough how much value I have gained from reading books and learning from other people's stories. 

So, I encourage you too, dear friend, if you have not done so, to start thinking about how you will document your life. Leave your mark on this earth by sharing your moments, experiences, ideas, knowledge, insights, revelations, and many other amazing things.

These days, with the aid of technology and available resources, you can publish a book more quickly than ever before. And if you need help with documenting your ideas and stories and figuring out where to start, you can reach out to my son, Sam. He can help with writing books and he has assisted many individuals with their projects. 

Although he charges for his work, I believe his services are affordable and valuable, considering the quality of work he and his team deliver. You can reach him at sopiensofgod@gmail.com. So, take advantage of these opportunities and let your life be documented and marked on the sands of time.

I pray that you continue to move forward and grow in grace and strength as you journey through this year and the years ahead. God bless you, and have a great weekend.

TRUSTING GOD WITH EVERYTHING

  Hello, my dear friend,  I feel it's a good time to talk to you now that the holidays are over, and we are all getting back to our daily lives. It's important to take cognizance of some things that can help us live our best in this new year. Today, I will be speaking on "Trusting God with Everything." Many of us have reflected on the past years and observed that we lived each year with almost the same attitude and approach. We couldn't dare to take some steps, we procrastinated, we were afraid, and at some points, we doubted. All these happened because we didn’t believe enough. We didn’t take the steps that might have been the turning point we’ve been praying for.  We put in a lot of effort to succeed, while witnessing the success of people who didn’t do a quarter of what we did. Then, we begin to question God and grow the feeling that God isn't listening to us, not realizing that our insufficiencies are often due to our inability to take efficient steps. ...

MY TESTIMONY

They say life starts at 40, so I hope we all agree that I am now 22, with 62years experience. I am grateful to God that I have the opportunity to witness yet another year in the fullness of his grace, compassion of his mercy, and fulfillment of his promises. Today, I'll talk about some of my many experiences so far, how grace found and sustained me, my story may not be as popular as that of batman, superman, or even Cristiano Ronaldo, but my story is unique, and full of grace. I will also relate it with the topics we have talked about this month, as I have found purpose, dreamed, and I am manifesting.  It hasn't been a bed of roses, many waters have passed under the bridge, tons of water swallowed by the earth, but I am still here, if not for God, where would I be. I have endured a lot of hard times, experienced the death of my mother, father, husband and some other loved ones, but I've grown through all that I went through. Above all life, is full of surprises, disappointm...

THE GRAVITY OF GRATITUDE

Hello, my dear reader, It gladdens my heart to know that we both made it through 2024, and here we are in a new year, despite all the challenges of last year. In 2024, I was able to share a lot with you, and I hope to share even more in 2025. However, it’s important that we reflect on 2024 and prepare ourselves for the experiences of this New Year. Today, I will be talking about The Gravity of Gratitude. Join me. Let me begin by reminding you of the story of a certain man. This man lost his family, livestock, wealth, and health, yet he maintained faith and gratitude to God. He kept declaring God’s supremacy and continued thanking Him for His faithfulness, even through many challenges. His name is Job, and because of the gravity of his gratitude, God restored and blessed him in unimaginable folds. I know you went through a lot in 2024, but you must also acknowledge that God did even more for you. The very fact that you can read this message today means God has blessed you beyond reproac...
