The Best Teacher
John 14:16
'And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever'
Happy New year friends, it's a blessing again to share with you what God impresses on my heart... I really do take this ministry very seriously that's why I always wait to have a new message inspired by God's Spirit.
As we all know this is a brand new year and a time for all of us to reflect on Our lives and how we can better ourselves,
having said that, life is not a simple resolution list, but a work in inevitable progress!
As a father for the first time you get so excited about your new child and you want to be the best dad in their world , the same applies to any new challenge marriage, job, career or anything you are engaged in at this point.
From my point of view and little experience it's very hard to make the best mature decisions while maintaining your excitement and wanting to do the best for the people you love or thing you love
For example getting a new job and getting some good money and you suddenly storm the mall every weekend purchasing
all the things you ever dreamed of or say being a movie fanatic or a party thrower.
Whatever you enjoy doing or aspire to do we all need someone wiser than us to show us the way to do it.
In my case it is being a good father, personally I didn't get to see my father as he died before I could even register memories of him, so having no figure to physically learn from, I was so unprepared and unsure of how to handle my new responsibilities.
Now, this being a new year I know some of you might be graduating from college, some getting married, some starting a new business or whatever it is you are starting on this new year or maybe you want to have another chance at the things you have been unsuccessful at, I want to remind you that we all have the best teacher available upon request !!
The Holy Spirit is our guide in all things not only on Sunday or when you are in trouble but even when you are stuck on the highway and you need wisdom on how to change your tire!!
I tell you I have found myself in situations that were so difficult to navigate out of and it did take God himself through the Holy Spirit to get me out of there!!!
The Scriptures say that he will guide and teach us in all things, my friends don't allow yourself to succumb to failure, regret and defeat, we have a way out of these things that bother us terribly, the Holy Spirit of God will help you, Jesus calls him the helper, that is one of his main roles... So please don't carry all the problems of the world on your head.
You have help ready for you as you begin this year strongly, remember he will never leave you nor forsake you, but you need to ask, the scriptures also say that he is our ever present help in times of trouble so call upon him today and explain your limitations like you would to a friend .
I may not be the most perfect father or husband in the world but I tell you this my friend that whenever I am faced with situation that requires me to act immediately and I can't reach for google!!!
The Holy Spirit is always present and he always provides the solution or idea that I need at that point to make it through, take advantage of him today.
God bless you and keep you in his love
Let me know how this blog is blessing you.
Go out and overcome all your challenges today in Jesus name.
Blessings
Andrew Paul Kizito
