One
of the decisions that helped me to forget my pain was the word of God. I became
a committed child of God; always studying the word when I was less busy. I
stopped talking to friends about him because the more I did, the more I loved
and hated him at the same time. The bible became my DAILY MANNA... very comforting, inspiring
and encouraging.
My
favorite verses were Psalm 46:5 which says and I quote “God is in the midst of her, he shall
help her and that right early”(KJV)
and Mathew 11:28 “Come to
me all who are labored and wearied and I’ll give you rest” (KJV). These verses motivated
me each and every day.
So,
my advice to you today is hold onto the word of God; let Him be your weapon,
inspiration, comforter and advisor. It worked for me and He shall
do the same for you for He never fails.
The
bible serve as a mediator between God and you so the moment you begin to study,
God reveals himself in so many ways to you; providing you with answers and
directing your paths. In the book of Proverbs 3:5, it says and I quote “Trust in the Lord with thine heart, in
all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths”. Is time you stop using your
human strength to deal with your broken heart and turn to God for direction. He
alone knows the best for you and only he can you trust for divine healing. I
know what the Lord has done for me that’s why I’m acknowledging you to study His
word.
The
name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and is saved. You
can be saved today if only you run to the tower of God which is the bible. The
bible is full of encouragement, wisdom, directions among others.The book of 2
Timothy 3:16 talks about the bible being written by the inspiration of God and
is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving
instruction for right living(GNB). What are you waiting for? Don’t wait for
people, priests and other lesser gods to help you deal with your situation,
just turn to the word of God and trust me, you shall be delivered.
Studying
the word of God is in so many ways but whatsoever way you use, God shall hear
you because he’s more concern about your heart. Let that broken heart find love
again and that can be achieved through the studying of the word of God.
Everything that you ask God, if you only believe, you shall receive it. (Mark
11:24.KJV).
In
the book of Ephesians 3:20, it says and I quote “God is able to do exceeding and abundantly above all that we think or
ask, through his son Jesus Christ” so don’t wait anymore, turn to his word
and be healed.Broken- heart is a virus which needs anti-virus like the word of
God; don’t let the virus get to the stage where it cannot be dealt with, like
leading you to the psychiatric hospital. “Sometimes
you become so stubborn that you refuse to go to the right path”
Let
the word of God henceforth be your DAILY MANNA and become one of your weapons to deal with your
broken-heart. There is power in the word of God; after studying, you’ll feel
relaxed and empowered. Sometimes I’ll just pick the bible, open to a verse and
just be stirring at the words; my mind would be on him but my eyes stuck to the
words. Later, I would come back to myself, pronounce the words for about five
minutes, and close the bible and sleep. The kind of dreams I had after just
looking into the bible were so terrific: that encouraged me to be committed in
studying the word.
By
starting, you might go through the same or different experience but if God
knows that within your heart you want to be committed to his word, he’ll surely
give you a motivating weapon that’ll help you to be committed more. You might
be also saying within you that you’ve not read the bible before so how am I
going to study and understand? Open your bible to Psalm 32:8 now, the Lord says
“I will teach you the way you should go; I will instruct you and advice you”.
The Lord is ever ready to advice you how to go about it so don’t wait anymore.
He says he will teach you the way you should go; go about in dealing with your
heart broken.
When
Delilah betrayed Samson what did he do? He didn’t submit himself to pain, cries
and sorrows; rather he found his way again through God. Even though he was
blind, he was able to break the walls in the temple through Christ who
strengthened him. This doesn’t mean you should also take revenge after the word
of God has made you whole again. You can be an advisor to people who are also
suffering from a break-up.
I’ve
used Samson as an example because he also experienced a broken-heart but he
didn’t allow that to mess up his life; he turned to God again for strength.
Don’t wait any longer, turn to him for strength, and advise, wisdom and
direction.
After
Joseph had been betrayed by his brothers, what did he do? I n the book of
Genesis 50:19-20, he said and I quote “And Joseph said unto them,
fear not for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against
me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass as it is this day, to save
many people alive”(KJV). These words should inspire you
that everything that’s happening to you has a purpose. Joseph after been hurt,
broken-hearted and gone through much pains finally became the king of Egypt,
saving his family from famine.
Maybe
you’re also going through this situation to save much people alive: to help
people to get their life back on track again as you are yearning to do.
In
the book of Ecclesiastes 3:1, it says there’s time and season for everything; a
time to cry and laugh. This is the time you’re crying but a time is coming that
happiness and joy will be the food you’ll eat always. The word of God is made
to comfort, direct, and instruct you. Don’t abandon it because you are hurt;
for it is your true source of inspiration.
If
I had abandoned the bible, I wouldn’t have been able to also advise you today
to stick to the bible because I would have also found myself at either at the
psychiatric hospital or any bad place.
Always
remember God first- stay blessed!
