@au_badela And for God to say, Hagar you were never part of my plan, can you just leave with your child…and I will take care of you but far away from them.
Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew 18:3-4 NLT
Since we have died and raised with Christ. Let us stand fast therefore in the liberty where Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
My wife and I were reading Genesis 6.
When we got to the part where God was grieved by the wickedness of mankind, one statement stood out to us:
“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”
We got excited and immediately began to pray, “Lord, let us find grace in Your sight.”
But in the middle of the prayer, a thought came to me:
Was Noah simply fortunate, or was there something about his life that positioned him for that grace?
So we kept reading.
The next verses revealed that Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation, and he walked with God. Later, God gave him instructions, and Noah obeyed.
That changed the direction of our prayer.
Instead of only asking God for grace, we began asking Him to help us cultivate the kind of life that attracts His favor. A life of righteousness, fellowship with Him, and obedience to His word.
Sometimes we are quick to pray for what Noah had, but we should also desire to become who Noah was.
May God help us not only to seek grace, but to live in a way that finds it.
God could’ve called the dry bones to life Himself, but He instructed the human to do it.
We PARTNER with God and situations obey. We don’t wait for God to act although we haven’t invited Him.
We speak, and He does the work!

I was healed of a condition whereby after an operation on my finger, it wouldn’t stop bleeding for months on end. I couldn’t walk around without a plaster as blood would ooze out from nowhere. Yoh 🙆🏽♀️
@au_badela Thing is they can’t relate to your obedience to God. You seek and obey and that’s almost unrealistic in today’s Christian society. They will learn 😅.
