In your lifetime to date, how many times have you asked the question - WHY?
Once, twice, thrice, 1000 times, don't know....
One thing is certain, we have all asked that question a number of times. Why me? why today, why him/her?, why now?, why is there too much suffering in the world? why are the rich getting richer & the poor getting poorer? why don't they just get it? why this?, why that?, why? why?!
It's a useful question to ask and indeed a great one.
The question WHY?, lends itself to an enormous power that has the potential to literally blow mount Everest!, in one split second, that is how great the arsenal of power contained in that question is if properly directed and utilised. Much about that shortly.
Have you ever asked yourself why you do the things you do?, why are you married to that specific person? if you are single, why are you single? if you are employed, why are you on the payroll? if you are rich, why are you rich? if you are poor, why are you poor? WHY? why are you the way you are? WHY?
And above all, why are you here on earth in the first place, why were you born? seriously, do you know why? you can't afford not to!
I recognise that this question(WHY?) has such an awesome power, it has the potential to stretch your mind and all faculties of your imagination, and what you can accomplish with a stretched out mind and creative imagination is just unbelievable.
People like Einstein, Galileo, Edison, Carnegie, Ford among others were great thinkers and did ask a lot of WHY questions.
One of the things the WHY question seeks to uncover is UNDERSTANDING and whatever you understand invariably sets you free because truth is inherent in understanding and the truth normally sets you free.
Greater truths always comes by asking the question WHY? for example, how many of us know WHY Jesus Christ came? and how is your understanding of that question impacting your day to day christian life? simple, yet very profound question. If you fully don't understand why Jesus came, chances are that you are not fully living the abundant life He came to give you! and so it is with many things around & about you, you will appreciate them better if you understood WHY you have them in the first place.
The scriptures clearly say, "In all your getting, get understanding" Proverbs 4:7(b). When you get promoted by God, ask why? when you get a new job, ask why have I got this job, when you get married to him/her, be intelligent enough to ask why? why him/her.
GET UNDERSTANDING! you will save your self a lot of heart ache in the weeks, months and years to come. I am not kidding you, get understanding in all your getting, child of God.
Don't be afraid to ask WHY?, even the LORD Jesus asked it; "My God My God WHY hast thou forsaken me? Mark 15:34(b), following on in verse 37, 'Jesus cried with aloud voice and gave up the ghost'.
I believe Jesus clearly understood why God forsook him, the truth is that, he was laden with all the sins of mankind and God could not stand that sight, but the greater truth is that, he had to go and face Satan as man not as God because Satan took dominion from the first Adam who was man and the last Adam had to get it back as man! the ground had to be a level playing field so to say, do you get that! its very important that you understand it.
Remember earlier on in his ministry Jesus said that no one takes a way his life, he lays it up on his own accord, so when He Cried with that loud cry, he had received full understanding WHY God had forsaken him and the glorious though challenging task a head of Him. After that loud cry, he gave up the ghost and where did he go?...
Well, he descended into hell as man, laden with all the sins of men and he went there for one purpose - to get back the dominion for you and I, waw! that's mind blowing and very, very, brave, pheeew! glory Hallelujah!
The scriptures say, He defeated Satan and took the away the keys of death and life from him(Satan) and he did all this in his humanity not in His divinity. After three days he was raised from the dead after the mission was accomplished and he became the first born of the dead.
Dear friend,when Jesus Christ rose from the dead, victory was forever more sealed and you and I can now partake of that new life and victory by receiving Christ into our lives as Lord and saviour. "If any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things have become new" 2Corinthians 5:17
The question WHY? amazing, isn't it? Jesus asked it, got to know the WHY and immediately got to work!
The WHY question sadly has most often been used mostly when folks face or are faced with challenging and difficult circumstances, and its power is even further diminished because under these circumstances, it is asked in despair and helplessness. It need not be so.
The question should be asked with an open mind and a creative disposition, then let your mind 'float' freely exploring all possibilities and likelihoods under the milky way, relax and let go, let the spirit of God deposit inspirations and insights into your spirit.
Remember, nothing in life is worth a price of worry, nothing at all. It is important at this point that you strive to become less susceptible to influences outside of yourself and much more inclined to trust the instincts and feelings that lie within you.
Heed your own counsel while keeping an attentive ear open for God's open counsel.
Much as you would ask WHY? when things are not working out for you, also ask WHY? when things are working out for you, they are just two sides of the same coin and it helps to know both, for nothing in life is really new, there are no secrets, same old things dressed differently but you need to understand them first because they will be new to you first time around.
WHY NOT!
Sometimes we may have dreams and visions that we want to bring in to manifestation.
Under this circumstances, we need to be so excited and shout, yes literally shout, WHY NOT!
Say it with such gusto and enthusiasm that all the doubts and fears melt in to thin air, go on, say it like you have some ounce of breath in you, WHY NOT!
If your dream is to be the next world champion, WHY NOT!, if it is to get a first class, WHY NOT! if it is to start your own business, WHY NOT! whatever it is, WHY NOT! go for it, it is your season, it is your day, nothing can stop you and nothing can hinder you, you are laden with power, if only you knew it! however it is worth keeping at the forefront of your mind the fact that the rewards which you will receive in this life, material or otherwise, will not come to you because of your potential but rather, because of your PERFORMANCE.
As I conclude this post, allow me ask you this dear question; Are you born again, have you confessed with thy mouth the LORD Jesus and believed in thine heart that GOD raised him from the dead? if so, congratulations, if not, WHY NOT! go for it, its the best life you will ever have because you will be SAVED!
I love you and thank you for your company today. Till next time strive for excellence, get understanding - ask WHY? intelligently.
Peace and Love
Libs.
