Right now, your life sucks. Does this mean that God hates you? Why can't you just live a life where everything is a blessing and never causes you stress? Today I want to speak to anyone who has ever had these thoughts running through their heads. Why does God allow hardship, and why does His discipline seem so hatred?

Birthdays used to be a time of genuine happiness and celebration. Unfortunately for me and a lot of us, it has turned into a time where we stress about not being as far along in life as we want to be. Today, I want to talk about this, and how many of our desires in life emerge from our own sinfulness. It is when we put God first, we are able to curb this depression and walk in the path He's called us to.

A lot of us are strong and courageous enough to step up to the plate and fight it out. But how many of us are strong and courageous enough to get back up after getting knocked on our butts. There is one thing that we must grasp in order to be empowered enough to get back up after a failure...and that one thing is God's grace. Let's talk about it.

It's 2022. This year, we are focusing on following God to where He has called us. The road may not be easy, but I believe that if you have faith, you will be able to withstand and conquer any trial. I want this year to be a faith-filled year. No longer will our days be filled with doubt and self-pity. In 2022, we will keep our eyes on the Helper.

What you are is not something that you earn. It is simply what you are. In this episode I just wanted to run some thoughts about identity with you. And ultimately, I hope that as you look to strategize your approach to 2022, this episode stands as a point of influence in that process.
Best,Emmanuel Iheke

Rather than seeing our weaknesses as a platform for God's glory to stand on, we turn to being insecure individuals on a quest to be self-reliant. It is this misconception of our weaknesses that lead many of us into a life of sin. Let's expand on this...

God grabbed your hand, and told you to follow Him. Only one problem...He hasn't told you where you're going. Typically, before one begins a journey, he or she knows the destination. Knowing the destination empowers one to persevere through today's trials in hopes of one day reaching the mountaintop. But when God doesn't reveal to you what the destination is, what is supposed to empower you then?

Some of our weakness continue to be a burden on us because God allows them to stay there for a reason...a good reason.
(Pray that God helps you to really listen to this episode. At first, the concept seems like a hard pill to swallow but remember that God loves you and knows the perfect route to perfection.)

Knowing that the calling God has placed over your life is actually a command comes with huge benefits. For starters, God does not command humans to do anything we cannot accomplish with His empowerment. This gives us confidence to move forward in our calling, knowing that God has already made a pathway to a successful mission. All we need to do is listen, trust and obey.
You are never too unqualified or unclean to follow a command of God. In fact, following His commands is how we express our love to Him.
