CONSIDER YOUR WAYS
4. [Is it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house [lie] waste?
5. Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
6. Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.
7. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
8. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
9. Ye looked for much, and, lo, [it came] to little; and when ye brought [it] home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that [is] waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
10. Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed [from] her fruit.
11. And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon [that] which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.

THOUGH THE FIG DOES NOT BLOSSOM
“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither [shall] fruit [be] in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and [there shall be] no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God [is] my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' [feet], and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.” (Habakkuk 3 v 17 – 19).

We do not worship and serve God because He answered our prayers, because He blessed us, He performed a miracle, He told us a prophecy, or He did this and that for us. NO!
Even if God decides not to heal us, deliver us, save us, answer us, fight for us; we should and are going to serve Him still because He is God who should be worshipped (Daniel 3 v 17 - 18).
Our serving God is not conditional like buying bread, but it is a duty and a lifestyle.

Brethren lets serve and worship God even in the midst of a failing marriage, a collapsing business, a decreasing salary, a rejected project proposal, a negative medical report, an un-conducive situation, a depressing environment and a warring family.

Once we learn to be that faithful and true to God; He is faithful and just to direct our feet well (Psalm 91 v 11 – 13) and when we remain unconditionally faithful to Him, He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4 v 19) and show us and take us to mighty and unbelievable things and places that we knew not (Jeremiah 33 v 3). If we could learn and trust God unconditionally He will do to us what we have never perceived before (1 Corinthians 2 v 9) and what He will do, we will not believe even if we were told of it (Habakkuk 1 v 5).

May the name of God be praise, Amen!

CHURCH TESTIMONY
Most people stood up and testified how God has generously blessed them with cars, happy marriages, promotions at work and money.
A simple teenage girl stood up and said, “Brethren I thank God for He has been good to me and He has richly blessed me, just last week God promoted me and I am now on Whatsapp...” The whole church went rumbling with laughter.
The girl continued un-amused, “Being on Whatsapp is indeed amazing and a huge step in my life: 1. Through Whatsapp I get motivational scriptures from the church group everyday and this builds my faith; 2. There are nearly 400 million people using Whatsapp in a world of more than 7 billion people, this means I’m better than 6 billion people; 3. I also read that Whatsapp is worth more than $19 billion and without me using Whatsapp the owner will be poor, a street kid or a thief”

Moral of the testimony
Be thankful to God for all things in life (1 Thes 5 v 18 and Ephesians 5 v 20) because all things however small and insignificant work for good to those who love the Lord (Romans 8 v 28). Remember if you are faithful and thankful on the little, God will give us more (Matthew 25 v 21 – 23) and "For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away” (Matthew 25 v 29).

WHEN THE GOURD IS REMOVED
In Jonah 4 v 6-7 God prepared a gourd/vine to cover Jonah’s head and relieve his grief and Jonah was exceedingly glad. However, in the morning the LORD God prepared a worm that smote the gourd and it withered and when the wind and sun came, it beat on Jonah’s head and he was exceedingly angry.

God blesses us with things and people to cover our heads, our needs, necessities, shame and relieve our grief, worries, troubles and sorrows. All God’s blessings are for our benefit and they make us glad.

But to teach us a lesson, to help us grow, to enable us to understand, to encourage us to focus and to strengthen our faith; God attimes takes the blessings away and we are left exposed, in need, discouraged and affected.

Let us learn to accept and be thankful to God when He blesses and when He removes the blessing because His ways aren’t our ways and His thoughts aren’t our thoughts (Isaiah 55 v 8) as He has great plans for our lives (Jeremiah 29v11) and He will never allow a challenge above our faith to come our way (1 Cor 10v 13).

Have a blessed day and remember, the gourd may be removed but God isn’t removed. He is still God and will never leave nor forsake you (Duet 31 v 6) because He is the ever present help in times of need (Psalm 46 v 1).
