There is always a Way

THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY – THE ROOF TOP (Luke 5vs18-19)

In this account, some men brought their friend to Jesus so He could heal him. But getting to the place where Jesus was, the place was filled to the brim. There was no way for them to get through even at the door; which was supposed to be the only access (their only option to reach Jesus, to get to where he is).

But instead of giving up on their mission, seeing that the door was filled and their access blocked; they thought of another way to reach Jesus – the Roof Top.

These men refused to back down or even get discouraged, rather, they were motivated to look for another option to still achieve their goal. They chose to do something extra-ordinary; something beyond the norm. They went through the roof top to get to Jesus. Amazing!

Are you faced with a similar situation? Do you feel you have exhausted all options? Don’t get stuck. Don’t give in just yet. There is always a way…

Pause and Pray,

Ask God for Direction

Look inward and Meditate

There’s always a way to get it done

There’s always a way to achieve that goal.

If you feel the door is filled or the road is blocked,

Do the unusual

Do the extra ordinary

Defy all odds and

Go through the “Roof Top”, if you need to.

The Blessings of Obedience : Deuteronomy 28

As Christians, many times we keep waiting for answers to our prayers or for a miracle to happen; when God is actually waiting for our act of obedience to Him and His word. The answer to our prayer might come as an instruction and the miracle we are longing for might be tied to an act of obedience. In the book of Deuteronomy 28vs2, God said to His people …All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
v3. You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
v4. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock— the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
v5. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
v6. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
v7. The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
v8. The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
v9. The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in obedience to him.
v10. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you.
v11. The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
v12. The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
v13. The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
v14. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
Do you desire any of these blessings? If yes, then you must meet God’s criteria of obedience as stated in the first verse of this same chapter:

Deuteronomy 28vs1 – If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.


Therefore, to enjoy the blessings of obedience, we must obey fully and we must carefully follow ALL of God’s commandments.

Obedience is the price to pay to enjoy the blessings of God.
