There are times God gives you instructions and it doesn't really make sense o!
I remembered when we began project feeding the 5k slated for my birthday in 2021,it didn't make sense at all that I will go and be feeding people on a day I should be showered with all the gifts and attention.
I struggled but obeyed. Now this particular project among others we have done as well required a huge amount of money,just as the disciples told Jesus. Na there I know say God will give you projects above your bank account so you will rely on him completely for provision.
I stepped out in faith and involved my team and we started planning. The thoughts and ideas evolved over time but we kept doing what we could do and trusted God to make provisions. The location we had planned to go to changed the morning of the event,it felt like why is Joy confused but God was leading and He alone had the master plan.
21st July,2021 happened and the village we went to that day was attacked that night by Fulani and according to the story we received one of the people we reached out to that day was killed.
Here was I in shock,did we go there because of him? Oh God so when you give instructions,even when it's weird,there is a reason behind it. What if we didn't obey? It wasn't convenient,it wasn't easy, infact a night before the event I remembered crying to God telling him how scared I was and my inability to execute the project.
The excuses may be there and legit,the fears,the confusion,the negative what IFS. You may even want to explain to God why you don't want to carry out that instruction but he won't even say a word In return.
The slides below answers your question, it may not seem like it but go ahead and obey, even if it's for one person,every soul is important. There is a WHY behind every instruction...
Good morning ❤️
