IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – SUCH A TIME AS THIS GENERATION: DON’T BE IN A DESPONDENT STATE – SEEK A FRIEND, PASTOR, COUNSELOR!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of\u00a0COUNSELLORS,\u00a0they are ESTABLISHED”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 15:22.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0TIMELESS TIMES with many reasons to be in\u00a0a\u00a0DESPONDENT state – an UNHEALTHY state. But\u00a0in\u00a0a\u00a0time\u00a0like\u00a0this,\u00a0you\u00a0don’t\u00a0have to be in a DESPONDENT state.\u00a0To have leverage and\u00a0move into\u00a0an onward\u00a0and upward trajectory\u00a0with\u00a0God in Christ Jesus,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0time to crave,\u00a0seek,\u00a0pursue\u00a0and follow the path that\u00a0gives\u00a0you\u00a0the KNOWLEDGE\u00a0and UNDERSTANDING\u00a0you need\u00a0through counselling.\u00a0\u00a0That\u00a0way,\u00a0you\u00a0can\u00a0thrive and\u00a0move\u00a0onward and upward,\u00a0out of the\u00a0darkness that has bewildered\u00a0you. Know\u00a0this\u00a0truth:\u00a0there’s light of God shining\u00a0out of the midst of the dark,\u00a0by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/i>\u00a02 Corinthians 4:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More so, you can get help 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\u00a0every way\u00a0in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“A man that hath friends must SHEW himself FRIENDLY: and there is a friend that STICKETH CLOSER than a brother”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 18:24.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0always good and healthy for me\u00a0to\u00a0take\u00a0time\u00a0– one \u2013on-\u00a0one\u00a0– to share life matters\u00a0with\u00a0a\u00a0gracious person,\u00a0a\u00a0TRUSTED Sister, friend,\u00a0or\u00a0confidant, in\u00a0a\u00a0relaxed\u00a0and leisurely\u00a0moment,\u00a0without prejudice, sentiments,\u00a0or\u00a0pretence. And you can find one and keep it alive, refreshing, rejuvenating, rekindling and ongoing while it\u00a0lasts,\u00a0like\u00a0I do. Life is good and enriching with God,\u00a0having one good, God reverential fearing Friend,\u00a0Pastor, or\u00a0Counselor\u00a0– at\u00a0least\u00a0one\u00a0you can rely\u00a0on and trust without shame\u00a0or\u00a0fear.\u00a0Someone\u00a0you can also be honest and open-hearted\u00a0with, share with,\u00a0even in tears over\u00a0a shameful fault,\u00a0without being\u00a0judged.\u00a0That will help you and give you the enabling gracious path you need to\u00a0thrive again and\u00a0fulfil the God-given and God-driven-purpose being affected by your current despondent\u00a0state. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of\u00a0COUNSELLORS,\u00a0they are ESTABLISHED”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Proverbs 15:22.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0true there may have been many disappointing\u00a0friends, pastors,\u00a0or\u00a0counselors\u00a0to TRUST and\u00a0RELY ON, but I know you can still find one TRUSTED one among many- as\u00a0you ensure you are TRUSTWORTHY\u00a0too, in\u00a0expecting\u00a0the same\u00a0from OTHERS. And you can find one today, that can\u00a0BOOST\u00a0your 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\u00a0opportunity\u00a0out 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine HEART, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING”<\/i>\u00a0Jeremiah 3:15.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u00a0is\u00a0built 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\u00a0endeavour\u00a0to get a trusted, and God reverential fearing FRIEND – PASTOR – COUNSELOR, that won’t market you for their selfish,\u00a0self-centredness\u00a0and self-gratification, while on your part, you can be HONEST enough to detail matters even to a fault and feel safe in\u00a0every way\u00a0in LIFE and GRACE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it may be rare to get a trusted, honest,\u00a0and God reverential fearing\u00a0person, they ARE there\u00a0– people\u00a0of goodwill and love of God in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0When you take a step of faith,\u00a0acting\u00a0by the Holy Spirit within you for direction,\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0stay\u00a0STUCK\u00a0or sit STATIC in life and suffer\u00a0when\u00a0there\u2019e\u00a0help\u00a0out\u00a0there for your good and wellbeing. 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\u00a0bad things\u00a0are today,\u00a0cornering you\u00a0to a despondent state, always remember\u00a0this scriptural thought:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 16 for a just [justified, righteous] man FALLETH seven times, and RISETH up again . . .”\u00a0<\/i>Proverbs 24:15-18\/Emphasis Mine.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0time to BELIEVE again\u00a0in order to\u00a0create, innovate,\u00a0initiate\u00a0and explore God’s given\u00a0opportunities\u00a0and endowments\u00a0out there. Get a trusted and faithful friend,\u00a0Pastor,\u00a0or counselor, that you can sit together and share your hearts without shame,\u00a0fear\u00a0and prejudice even if\u00a0it’s\u00a0to a fault by being honest to yourself,\u00a0to God,\u00a0and to your counselor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s hope in God.\u00a0There’s\u00a0a miracle. God is faithful, true,\u00a0and sure. His gift and callings are without repentance [irrevocable]\u00a0except you refuse\u00a0God’s enabling opportunity\u00a0in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. I know it, hence I challenge you today –\u00a0don’t\u00a0give up due to one mistake,\u00a0failure,\u00a0or moment that went very badly directly or indirectly by you. In God,\u00a0there’s\u00a0a rising up again. DON’T BE A LONER WHERE THERE’S OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

May you find a reason to rise again\u00a0today.\u00a0God loves and cares about you,\u00a0even so,\u00a0do\u00a0so\u00a0in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
