REPOST: Keep Going! by Minister Darrick D. McGhee

November 8th, 2011

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever wondered what God’s plan for your life was?  You have come to the conclusion that after all I have been through, the Lord is preparing me for something awesome.  I have heard many people say, “you can tell how great God’s assignment for you will be based on the amount of hell you face.”  Quickly, take a moment and think about the struggles you have endured since this year began.  From the beginning the devil has been attacking you, your home, and everything connected to you.  Apparently he knows his time is limited and what God is preparing you for is soon to come.  Have you ever felt a push within your spirit?  The more you want to give up, the greater the push becomes.  Just when you decided to give up, the Holy Spirit quickened your spirit.  Have you ever been there?  Are you there now?
Today, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  I know how it feels to want to give up on life.  There appears to be more going against you than for you.  While you know God is up to something, currently things appear chaotic.  Child of God, as I mentioned yesterday, trouble does not last always.  Yes you are currently experiencing challenges.  Yes you are enduring attacks.  Yes things could be better in your life.  Yes you are tired of this roller coaster ride known as life.  My friend, Keep Going!  The reason things appear so dark is because you have not finished going through.  When we complain, worry, doubt and/or lose the faith, this means we have taken our eyes off of Jesus and now we are focusing on our surroundings.  The Bible declares in Hebrews 12:2 - Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 
My brother, my sister, what are you dealing with today?  What circumstance do you find yourself faced with?  What dilemma are you caught in the middle of?  Have you taken your eyes off of the Lord?  Beloved, no matter how well connected you profess to be, each of us will be faced with challenges in our life.  No matter how many degrees hang on your wall, you will be faced with something that your education cannot discern.  No matter how much money you have in the bank or stocks you invest in, you will be faced with trials that money cannot buy you out of.  In spite of it all, Keep Going!  Just because your life does not look the way you would like it to, does not mean God is not working on your behalf.  The Bible declares in Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 

Scripture Reading for Today: Matthew 14:22-36
