*Are You 'Fighting' God?*

Their 'fight' with God got to astronomical levels such that the Almighty had to do the following:

_And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah(Jonah 1)_.....
_Then the Lord opened the mouth of the Donkey and she said to Balaam, 'What have i done to you...(Numbers 23)'_

Simply, the recalcitrant& stone-hearted Jonah as well as the canal and the Pleasure Seeking Balaam _(both Prophets)_ decided to greatly disobey God's marching orders. (Get to read the account again)

Are you Fighting God too?...I know &can easily picture that BIG NO reaction from your face.

However, the sad truth is that sometimes or should I say mostly we do. Our minds are fixed on a lot of things such that no matter how hard God's knocks have been, we have refused to allow him entry. *(You know them...Start to Recount)*...Remember,Prov. 29:11 says- Those who remain stiff-necked after many rebukes shall be cut-off.

*One thing we fail to see is that we fight God for the many test and trials that only seek to propel us to the many prosperity prayers we have been bombarding God with.*

 

Fighting God is serious although I concede can be unintentional and ignorant on our part. The good news is God knows our hearts...Therefore, sincerely, let this be your regular Prayer: *Lord,Forgive me for 'fighting' against you in anyway.Please open my eyes,help me amend my ways and teach me to accept whatever you say as Good and Perfect. Above all, work on me& continually submerge my will to yours.*

*SO I SAY:Don't Fight God...In fact, you can't Fight God... Let his will for your life be.*

*QUOTES(EXCUSES)*

Before you push for the next Excuse, why don't you simply ask yourself- *'What Can I do to improve?'*

We are all guilty. We might have made one the previous hour but I pray God help from hence even as we ponder over these:

_Genesis 3:11-13-"And He said, …'Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?' The man said, 'The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit...and I ate it.'..... The woman said, 'The serpent deceived me, and I ate.'"_

_Most people don't have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.-Carlos Santana_

_People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives. J. Michael Straczynski_

_“There is a lie in between a promise and many excuses.” ― Toba Beta_

_“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.” ―Henry Ward Beeter_

_Don't you dare take the lazy way. It's too easy to excuse yourself because of your ancestry. Don't let me catch you doing it! Now -- look close at me so you will remember. Whatever you do, it will be you who do.” - John Steinbeck_

_“No one ever excused his way to success.” ― Dave Del Dotto_

*SO I SAY:Excuses makes us restlessly fine whilst still caught up with how to get out of that fine web...* Help  us Lord to rid ourselves of the many excuses and to do what is right.
