When God speaks through us as his vessel, we should take note and be watchful in the spirit because the Holy Spirit emboldened our heart when we received him through baptism.

Humans who God regarded as mere mortals or dust, is God’s most favourite amongst all his creation. That is why we tend to give up on life's little challenges that come our way and give up cheaply to let the kingdom of darkness rejoice over our downfall.

Regardless of all the shenanigans that surround us in this life of sin, God is still saying to us that “LIFE” means ‘Love Is For Everyone.’ Inspirationally, since I connoted the acronym ‘LIFE’ and got the meaning through the power of the Holy Spirit, my self-motivation to do more by impacting the world around shoots up sporadically and astronomically.

We are called to do his work for a purpose using the powerful tool of evangelism to fulfill that purpose in life because our primary aim in life is to transmit the word of God to sinners that are believers and mostly, unbelievers.

It is pathetically sad today that mankind has failed to fulfill this mission; a possible mission has turned an impossible mission, whereas we believe in the scriptures and have the weapon to preach the good news in the holy Bible inspired by the Lord God Almighty Himself.

Why do we look down upon ourselves when people turn us down and tell us the word: NO? When God that created the universe, He held us up at the top of his heart with promises in the biblical scriptures that He will never fail us. Keep the hopes alive as stated in the book of Letter of St Paul to the Hebrews 11:1- “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Also in the book of Letter of St Paul to the Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”

When people turn us down, they did not turn you down in the logical reasoning, they are only telling you to go back to your maker to directly bless you from far heaven above and if in cleanliness and righteousness we ask for His help, He will grant us those our cherished heart desires. In the Old Testament of the bible, 1st Kings 17: 5-6, says: “So he did what the Lord had told him and went to Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan and stayed there.6. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening and he drank from the brook.”

God did that for His holy prophet Elijah in the biblical scriptures to help us understand Him better that He is the only one that has the keys to both the heavens and earth where mortals reside and we should know the more that human help is worthless.

Although, God uses one human being to uplift another human being because, from that passage, God used an 'ordinary' animal to feed his own prophet, but the animal is not really ordinary as I want to come low to shallow-minded persons' thinking and ideologies. Every disappointment, they say, is a blessing. It is wrong when you don’t allow the Holy Spirit of God to direct your paths and footsteps on where to go to be lifted up. Seek God first and he would send the right persons to us to help each of us here on earth, but unfortunately, many beings are suffering from different life’s battles because we didn't do the right thing at its appropriate time simultaneously.

Our hopes were raised again in the book of Deuteronomy 31:6, which states: “Be strong and courageous, Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

God has made us to understand better in that Deuteronomy context on how He will forever be with us because we are his most favorite creation. Think about it, after He created everything He made man lastly to be kings over all He has made and to be in Super charge of all he owns.

We are obligated to follow the simple instructions set on Mount Olive to the old prophet Moses when God gave him the specific commandments we don’t even follow today because of how we humans wallow in our sinful life. God detests sin so much that He is irritated by it because of the way we have polluted the world around us. Today, I tell you most solemnly that God has not rejected us and He will never for once make you dejected even if the entire world rejects you, stay believing, stay dedicated; be forever inspired in his word through the power of the Holy Spirit, the greatest teacher of all time.

Good never writes his own off, look at the life of Job for example, his rise and fall and rising again after passing the sternest test God gave him and he passed beyond reasonable doubts that even God, our maker, was astonished that after Father Abraham, no one exhibited such high level of faith in God than Job; and till date, no one can attain that pinnacle of faith possessed by father Abraham and even Job.

He hasn’t written you off, so why write yourself off when you can begin a new chapter of your life by using a new and fresh ink to pen a new chapter of your life and live happily ever after. God is love, so therefore love endlessly and never stop loving compassionately even when you are not getting the same energy from peoples around you. Remain blessed and continue to bask in the euphoria of his love for us all, Amen.
