The Proverb Challenge: Day 27

The Proverb Challenge
Day 27

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
Proverbs 27:8 KJV

Today Thriving verse is a simple warning to spiritually drifters. King Solomon liken them (drifters) to a bird that wander away from her nest. They are restless, searching endlessly.

When a man drift away from God, he becomes vulnerable to attacks from the enemy. 

It doesn’t just happen overnight, its slow moving.

Starts by not reading your bible. Not praying as much. Missing church because the game is on.

People don’t just wake up one day hooked on pornography it starts by looking at some Jezebel in an under wear ad, then renting a wrong movie then before you know it your on your way out.

Lot, Abraham nephew, relocated to a place beside Sodom, when he was to be resecued, he was resecued right inside Sodom. Most believers that drift away from God do not know they they are far from God until problems comes and they found out that they are very far away from God.

A man that wander away from his place, which is the presence of God, will become helpless. Calamity can struck anytime and they won't have anyone to call upon. A bird that flies very much abroad from place to place, whereby she is exposed to all the arts of fowlers, and to birds of prey.

Every man that leaves his place will also be exposed to evil world. A man's place is mean to be a place of protection, a place of provision, a place of solid rock.

People who won’t settle down, wandering hither and yon, are like restless birds, flitting to and fro.

He that dwell in the secret place of the Most High shall abides under the shadow of the Almighty. A man rightful place is in God. Any place outside God is not where he should be. You can be far away from God and enjoy life. Nope!

If you are far away from God and you are reading this, it's time for you to come home. Your place in God is still available and vacant for you. God loves you so much and He is ever willingly ready and available to welcome you back into His kingdom, which is where your place is.

MAIN POINT: A man that is far away from God is like a bird that is far away from its nest.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

Unlimited Thanksgiving

 "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Our thanksgiving should be unlimited. Even If we have thousands tongue to thank God with, it can never be enough. Looking all around you, you will always find a reason to thank God. This year might be so challenging for you, things might not have gone smoothly as you expected, nevertheless you have got to thank God. We do not thank God FOR difficult situation but we thank God IN difficult situation. Don't just be that person that only does thanksgiving when things are going on fine. Don't be that person that thank God seasonally. Don't be that person that thank God only when they have a 'big' testimony to share. Don't be that person that just thank God just because the preacher asked them to. God has been so good from ages past. No one else deserves our appreciation more than Him. You will be...
