IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – SUCH A TIME AS THIS GENERATION: DON’T BE IN A DESPONDENT STATE – SEEK A FRIEND, PASTOR, COUNSELOR!
“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22.
It’s TIMELESS TIMES with many reasons to be in DESPONDENT state – an UNHEALTHY state – and in such time as of this generation, you don’t have to be in a DESPONDENT state. And to have leverage and an onward and upward trajectory of God in Christ Jesus stead, it’s your time to crave, seek, pursue and follow the path that will help you get the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING through counselling – so that you might thrive and live towards an onwards and upwards trajectory, from every dark and darkness that has bewildered or is bewildering you right now in cause of time and in life. Know of a truth that there’s light of God to shine out of the midst of the dark and darkness by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“For God, who COMMANDED the LIGHT to shine OUT of DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.
More so, you can get helps through finding [and confiding on] a reliable and trusted FRIEND, PASTOR and COUNSELOR to help you out of any of the dark and darkness in whatever form of DESPONDENCY into the light of life in Christ Jesus stead; and by such wisdom nugget counsel, you can thrive and live again in God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“A man that hath friends must SHEW himself FRIENDLY: and there is a friend that STICKETH CLOSER than a brother” Proverbs 18:24.
It’s always good and healthy for me in taking or making out time – on a one to one timeline – to share life matter with my gracious person amongst many, a gracious and TRUSTED Sister, friend and confident person at relax and leisure moment when it matters without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. And you can find one and keep it alive, refreshing, rejuvenating, rekindling and ongoing while it last as I do.
Life is good and enriching with God and for you, in having one good, God reverential fearing Friend, Pastor and or Counselor; having one of them at least that you can rely upon and trust without shame, fear, sentiments, and you can also be honest and open-hearted toward, to share with – even in tears on a shameful fault without being judgemental, that will help you and give you the enabling gracious path that you need to ensure and assure you thrive again; and to fulfil the God-given and God-driven-purpose that’s being affected by your current despondent state.
“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22.
It’s true that there may have been many disappointed friend, pastor and or counselor to TRUST and RELY UPON, but I know you can still be able to find one TRUSTED one among many, as you ensure you are TRUSTWORTHY too in expecting same from OTHERS. And you can find one today, that can BOOSTER your FAITH, HOPE and LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter how bad it seems; this is only possible if you can make an effort to reach out to them without shame, pride and arrogance, rather than staying in a state of being DESPONDENT about life generally – for there’s a gracious opportunities out there under God, to give you the leverage you need for an onward and upward trajectory in doing life and loving godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine HEART, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.
Just as we seek after trusted Pastor’s and friends, to FEED us without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation, it’s important to ensure that such counsel and counselling of help it’s built on the PRINCIPLE of rightful knowledge and understanding in God’s Word to authenticate your redemption in Christ Jesus – this is to enable you do life in the grace, effectually and efficiently; hence, you must endeavour to get a trusted, and God reverential fearing FRIEND – PASTOR – COUNSELOR, that won’t market you for their selfish, self-centerdness and self-gratification, while on your part, you can be HONEST enough to detail matters even to a fault and feel safe in everyway in LIFE and GRACE.
Although it may be rare to get a trusted, honest and God reverential fearing sometimes, but they ARE there who are of a goodwill and love of God in Christ Jesus stead, when you take a step of faith to act by the Holy Spirit within you for direction. You mustn’t stand or sit STATIC in life and suffer in the midst of endless helps out there for your good and well-being. God has more to do in and through you than you can imagine in your LONE or LONELY path or self-defeat position. No matter how bad things are about you today to be cornered to a despondent state, always remember this scriptural thoughts:
“. . . 16 for a just [justified, righteous] man FALLETH seven times, and RISETH up again . . .” Proverbs 24:15-18/Emphasis Mine.
It’s time to BELIEVE again in order to create, innovate, initiate and explore God’s given opportunity and endowment that are out there. Get a trusted and faithful friend and or Pastor and or counselor, that you can sit together and share your hearts without shame, fear and prejudice even if it’s to a fault by being honest to yourself and to God and to your counselor.
There’s hope in God. There’s a miracle. God is faithful, true and sure. His gift and callings are without repentance [irrevocable] except you refused yourself of God’s enabling opportunity in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. I know it, hence I challenge you today – don’t give up due to one mistake or failure or moment that went very badly directly or indirectly by you. In God, there’s a rising up again. DON’T BE A LONER WHERE THERE’S OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS!
May you find a reason to rise again today. God loves and cares about you, even so do in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
