Text: “Yet a little
while, and the world seeth me no more: but ye see me: because I live, ye shall
live also.” John 14:19
There is really nothing in life that has a guarantee of a great
future outside God. The best of careers and jobs have their own list of
failures. The best of our connections may not be there again tomorrow.
The future is in God. He controls it. We must therefore build our
confidence in someone that remains forever. Where we want to go he’s been
there. What we want to do he has done it. He has the details of what your mind
cannot figure out. We face the future as we face God.
The life we live in the present must revolve around God. The
challenge with most of us is that we spend most of the active seasons of our
lives around a career and business with little or no time for God. The time we
invest in God today is an investment for our future. Time spent with God is
time invested.
The future will remain the same with all our anxiety and worry. It
is better we face it in prayer. The mistake we make most times is thinking its
only people who have problems that should be heavily involved in prayer. Prayer
is breathe of the regenerated human spirit. Prayer prepares us for the future
and also prepares the future for us. We actually put orderliness in our future
in the place of prayer. You don’t have to be married before you start to pray
for your home or even pray for kids you’ll have. If you are still in school
start praying about settling down after school. The unfortunate thing is that
we run life majorly on emergency basis.
Face the future with the confidence of who Christ is in your life.
He’s the hope of glory; there is nothing to fear. If Christ dwells in you the
future is secured for you. If you don’t have a prayer life then you are leaving
the future to chances. When you are afraid and anxious you create an inroad for
the Devil.
CONFESSION:
I can face the future
because Christ lives in me. My future is brighter, bigger and better than
today.
