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.

IF WE MUST BOAST

If we must boast, let us boast of the mercies of the LORD. Two students attend lectures and put in the same level of preparation; one scores an “A” and the other a “C”. Many explanations can be available, but when we hold all other things constant, mercy is the difference between men. I have written an exam before where I prepared diligently but got into the exam hall and misinterpreted the questions, writing the exact opposite of what was expected. After the exam, I had only one prayer: God, have mercy! In Acts 13, Paul and some other prophets separated themselves to fast and pray. Mercy spoke, and Paul and Barnabas were called into a special assignment. Were they better or more diligent than the others who were not called into that particular assignment? I don’t think so. Apostle Paul later told us that everything he did was a result of the grace of God. God’s mercy and grace are what enable us to achieve any kind of result in life. Let’s be careful how we think. Let’s be careful how...

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU COUNT MONEY?

Recently, I had to make a lot of cash lodgments at the bank, and I proceeded to arrange and count the notes. I counted the various currency notes like three times and sorted them accordingly. When I got to the bank, the teller went to work, and I wasn’t surprised that the count was perfectly correct. The confidence was because I had double-checked the notes; the margin for error was very slim. In our Christian walk, we mustn’t be overly bold about our right standing in Christ if we haven’t examined ourselves again and again. 2 Cor. 13:5b says, “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves…” Test yourself! Are you standing, or are you just thinking that you are standing? When I counted the money the first time, I could have stopped, but I needed the certainty. I know that I am born again, but I need to examine my heart: is there something hidden there that shouldn’t be there? Once, I was speaking to a group of people, and the manner of my speech wasn’t in confo...

2025: A LANDMARK YEAR

Happy New Year! Welcome to a Landmark Year. By prophecy, by decree, and by the WORD OF GOD, this year is a landmark year. Get set to have landmark encounters with the LORD. There shall be landmark testimonies in our walk with the LORD and in the results that will show forth in our lives as a result of Christ in us. The promise of God is to reveal His mysteries to the world through us. We are engraced to carry hope, salvation, strength, and glory to the world. Colossians 1:27 says, " To them God willed to make known what are  the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles:  which is  Christ in you,  the hope of glory." This year, Christ will be revealed in us and shine to all the world.
