Maybe, LET GO AND LET GOD 1

HAVE YOU EVER DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT AND PRECISE BUT YOU STILL DON’T GET THE PROMISED RESULTS? MEANWHILE SOMEBODY ELSE DOES EVERYTHING WRONG AND GET YOUR BLESSING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR?

Come on guys, lets be real, stop acting like you don’t see that people are getting rich out of evil ways, all the ‘bad girls’ get the ‘good guys’, all the ‘not so good looking chicks who cant even cook’ keep their men and you who ‘deserve it’ , don’t. Don’t act like you are not frustrated or have a grudge against God somehow. You have sown so much seed, there is no more soil but seeds sticking on the ground ….

I’m not saying your seed is not producing fruit or you are doing something wrong, and I am not saying they are doing something right…. all I am saying is that MAYBE IT’S NOT ABOUT WHAT WE DO THAT PRODUCE RESULTS ALL THE TIME, MAYBE not everything is supposed to be worked for, MAYBE the best things in life are free, MAYBE they are free because you cant afford to work for them...I MEAN, I DON’T REMEMBER ANYONE ASKING GOD TO OFFER HIS SON AS A PERFECT SACRIFICE. GUYS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? ABRAHAM SPENT 99 YEARS WITHOUT KIDS, MAYBE BEING A LAUGHED AT, FINALLY WHEN HE GOT ONE, GOD ASKED HIM TO BURN ON FIRE FOR NO REASON. SOME OF YOU THINK IT WAS AN EASY THING FOR GOD TO OFFER HIS ONLY SON. IF YOU KNEW THE TRUTH, YOU WOULDN’T BE AS SPOILT AS YOU ARE, SERVING GOD SO HE PROVIDE STUFF FOR YOU. HE ‘BURNT’ HIMSELF SO WE CAN BE SAVED, FREE FROM DEATH, SIN AND INHERIT POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. NOBODY HIM TO DO THAT BECAUSE NOBODY CAN PAY OR WORK FOR IT.

MAYBE God is trying to show you that if you want to earn everything by works, Maybe what you have now is what you have worked for and Maybe what they have is what they did not work for. Don’t get me wrong, this offering is not saying stop doing the same thing and expect different results, BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD LET GO OF YOUR WORKS AND LET GOD FREELY GIVE YOU WITHOUT WORKING/DESERVING IT. INFACT, ALL I AM SAYING IN THIS OFFERING IS MAYBE YOU SHOULD LET GO AND LET GOD .

John 15:5 NLT "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

MAYBE the gospel has been presented to us wrongly, MAYBE all we have to do is to remain in Him and we allow Him to remain in us. I’m just saying ..”MAYBE”

You have tried it all. I mean…Luke 8:43-46 ESV And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood FOR TWELVE YEARS, AND THOUGH SHE HAD SPENT ALL HER LIVING ON PHYSICIANS, SHE COULD NOT BE HEALED BY ANYONE. 44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!" 46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me."

Please don’t call the police on me for the things I am not saying. I am not saying that you should not run around spending money trying to fix your problems. I’m just saying MAYBE you should LET GO and LET GOD’s power move from Him to you to solve them. I am not saying that the machines and the doctors’ reports are wrong. After all these guys have degrees in these stuff.

All I am saying is : MAYBE God is a bit smarter and bigger, MAYBE HE IS THE CREATOR WHO KNOWS HIS CREATION BETTER… so MAYBE if you just touch Him (by your heart). MAYBE He is merciful and gracious. (Ps. 111:4, 103:8,Exo. 22:27, Deut. 4:31, Ps. 25:7, 2Cor 1:3,Rom 5 & 6:1)

When I read the above Luke scripture along with Mark 7:27-28 NLT Jesus told her, "First I should feed the children—My own family, the Jews. It isn't right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs." 28 She replied, "That's true, Lord, but even the dogs under the table are allowed to eat the scraps from the children's plates."

MAYBE we are too proud to accept or show that we are desperate. There is a Venda word that I can not express in English, U ‘luvha’- it’s a combination of worship, begging with desperation, exalting the superior one who owns you, showing total dependency on him, you being a nobody, and if He does not help you, you can never get any help anywhere. The word is usually used by ordinary people (subjects) when speaking to the king or royals.

The way Christianity is presented, it’s like we can own and can run “our” lives and God is our equal that we can call in times of need like an electrician or plumber and we can pay him by tithes and offerings or by doing things that ‘;please’ Him. Once He is worshipped, He moves and poor blessing.

I’m not saying we are wrong MAYBE God is a King and MAYBE, He is perfect. Maybe Meaning that He is complete and does not need anything perhaps, including you MAYBE?! I KNOW YOU ARE SPECIAL AND GREAT BUT I’M JUST SAYING MAYBE. MAYBE your worship or sacrifices do not add or subtract anything to God. Maybe He does not even want your scarifies (but your heart).

Psalms 51:16 NLT You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering.

Isaiah 1:11-13 NLT "What makes you think I want all your sacrifices?" says the LORD. "I am sick of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened cattle. I get no pleasure from the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. 12 When you come to worship Me, who asked you to parade through My courts with all your ceremony? 13 Stop bringing Me your meaningless gifts; the incense of your offerings disgusts Me! As for your celebrations of the new moon and the Sabbath and your special days for fasting—they are all sinful and false. I want no more of your pious meetings.

Maybe I wrote the above scriptures but maybe He offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice, so that you don’t sacrifice anymore, Maybe He doesn’t want yours but His.

The two women above where ‘luvhing’ ( MAYBE I should not add my own words to English) to God because MAYBE they knew that Only Him can.

MAYBE we should just agree that we are dogs (unclean, not worthy) and let Jesus’ worthiness (blood) clean and lead us.

We are even born through adultery/fornication unlike them, we grew up roughly, they don’t understand why we are so violent. We try to be like them but we always fail, it is clear that we are not capable of not sinning unlike them, who do not have a record of any evil. MAYBE we don’t deserve God’s blessing, MAYBE since we are not capable of earning those blessings, MAYBE we need Grace.

Galatians 2:19-21 NLT For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I STOPPED TRYING TO MEET ALL ITS REQUIREMENTS—so that I might live for God. 20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE, BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless.

MAYBE we don’t need to be told what to do anymore, MAYBE we don’t need Jesus to show us how to do it or even to do it with us, clearly we still fail, MAYBE we need Him to get inside our bodies and do it for us. Wait a minute…. MAYBE it is possible from the scripture above and Romans 8:9 NLT But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN YOU. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to Him at all.)

I tried many times to stop bad habits like smoking. I would fight and sometimes go for months without smoking but when I trip and smoke I would condemn myself. But few months ago God showed me something. check this out:-

A fellow DJ used my computer trying to burn a CD that failed and left his files in my computer to try next time. Interested in music and video’s, I tried to open his folders only to meet pornographic movies. I was angry that I called him and told him he must never leave such dirty things in my computer, I deleted them. oh Holy me!  That guy should not upset a man of God like that, what is wrong with him! but wait a minute…it wasn’t always like this, I used to love them things…

One day as I was trying to quit smoking by efforts when the Lord reminded me how I used to love pornographic movies and had a ‘good’ collection. He asked me about that day I found those things in my computer from that dj. Why didn’t you get excited? Why did you delete them? When did you stop liking them? How did you stop liking them?

The answer to all the questions was “I don’t know”. The Lord showed me other things that I used to do and I no more. I don’t really know what happened and I never put any effort trying to stop them. I was busy exited and focused on God using my computer to write offerings and stuff.

But the things that I tried to stop like alcohol and smokes, I haven’t stopped.

MAYBE we should just stop trying and LET GOD do His thing. MAYBE He can not operate at the same place as you, MAYBE His is too big to fit the same room to work with you. MAYBE we should focus on enjoying Him while He does His thing on the side. MAYBE the battle is not ours, MAYBE it is the Lord’s. On that note I suggest that MAYBE we should LET GO and LET GOD do everything through His grace.

MAYBE I should give you a break here and let you digest…..
