Is it right to be angry at God?

There are many things that we do not understand about God yet that doesn't stop Him from being God. Why would go allow certain things to happen when He knows that it would hurt us sore?

Normally we trust God and we know He has supreme authority, added to this we know God is good all the time. This makes it even more puzzling to know that God watched on while the undesirable happened.

When bad things happen to good people there seems to be a silent justification for the persecuted to be angry at God. In such a state, the individual who knows certainly that he can't beat God decides to ignore Him or offend Him.

If the person chooses the ignore option, he boycotts church, refuses to pray, neglects his Christian devotion and basically avoid anything in the semblance of God.

If it is the offend option, such goes back to forsaken sin or/and new ones. In a bid to show God that they are annoyed they deliberately do things that are displeasing to Him.

But is anyone ever justified to be angry at God?

I say not! God has been before the beginning began. He is wiser, holier and stronger than we would ever be. But more importantly GOD NEVER MAKES MISTAKES.

Mary and Martha couldn't believe that Jesus did not show up before Lazarus died. They sure weren't happy but when they heard Jesus was in town they rushed out to meet Him. At the time they didn't think their brother would be resurrected yet they went out to Jesus.

Jesus even wept that Lazarus had to die. This means that Jesus weeps when you weep. In the end Lazarus was resurrected, everyone celebrated and Jesus was glorified.

It pays to trust in God even when things go sour. When you trust Him you will see Him resurrect your hope and joy.

Let's keep believing.
God is good all the time.

Mistaken Identity

Nothing hurts more than when people take you to be something negative which you are not. If not handled properly it can dry the oil of motivation. Joseph had a DREAM but his brothers mistook him for a DREAMER. They said to one another, "...Behold, this dreamer cometh." (Genesis 37:19) Having a dream is NOT the same as being a dreamer. A dream is an appointment with destiny. A person who has a dream has an appointment that must be fulfilled. A dreamer is a person whose ideas and plans are not practical or based in reality. A dreamer is a joker. He talks about things he has no passion nor commitment to carry out. Joseph's brothers thought he was a dreamer. They were blinded by envy and driven by rage. They mistook their saviour for a serpent and tried to kill him, but God delivered Joseph out of their hands. Don't expect people to accept your dreams, They will call you a dreamer and it will hurt your feelings. They will try to bury your dreams but God will...

3 Reasons Why You Need Jesus

1. There is an afterlife. Even people that do not believe in God have an unspoken assurance within them that there is an afterlife. In the afterlife there are two destinations, good (heaven) and bad (hell). Jesus is the ONLY way to the good part. 2. There is  war in this life. Everyone is at war! War within, war without, war amongst, war everywhere. The enemy (devil) that we wrestle knows he has limited time to wreck his havoc. Our enemy is relentless and brutal, he has no respect for positions and titles, he works wickedness everyday. The only name he fears is JESUS, you need Jesus to win every war, have rest, peace and lasting victory. 3. Spiritual Fulfilment. Human beings are mere branches to the Tree (God). No matter how hard we try to satisfy ourselves with other things, there is a deep ache in our hearts if we don't have a relationship with God. Jesus is the only fulfilling link to the Father. Jesus is our spiritual lifeblood. If we are ever going shed the spi...

Love of this Present World

Why is it that Christians cannot seem to please the world? Everything we do is met by the world's distatste. It's simple, the world loves its own and promotes it. Christian ideals are fast losing popularity in the world, in fact before what you are doing as a Christian can get substantial recognition it must have passed through fire from all quarters. That is why as Christians we should stand firm. Christianity is not of the world, it is from above, and cannot be promoted by the world. When Christians begin to seek approval from the world, destruction becomes imminent. Our testimony is to do the will of the Father not the will of our friends. Jesus knew exactly what He was doing, He did not need the approval of men and didn't seek to please them. Why then should we as faithfuls to the faith not follow our Leader faithfully. In our walk with God and work for Him we must be weary of the dangers of loving the world. Popularity and wealth should never be our motive for ...
