The significance of Communicating with God

Before you talk to someone about your problems, first talk to God for Him to direct you to the people that He knows they can help you. Many a times, we rule God out of our minds when we face a problem. We think He is too far or too busy talking to other people. Or maybe He is not interested. People go for all sort of counselling. Whether it is helpful or harmful, they do not care, as long as it is ‘counselling’ they think it’s all good.  We have right to eat all kinds of food, be it raw or cooked, all kinds of meat, be it snake or chicken. I have never tasted snake but I was told it is very delicious. I cannot assure you of anything like that because i am not a snake-eater. I prefer chicken to snake or frog. There are people out there who feel it is good to eat snakes, frogs or dogs, I am not jesting at them in anyway, but we are also here to prove to them that chicken is the best. My point is we are all entitled to our opinions. You have the right to wear any shoe you like if only you can afford and I have the right too. Now when you stretch out your fingers you will see that all of them are not equal. That is how we were created. I think it is not good to bump into any office or house so to speak in the name of counselling. There are women out there who did it and they ended up pregnant. I am not scaring you in anyway but all i want you to understand is that, before you take a step when you face a problem, please talk to God about it. For me, anytime I want to talk to God about a problem, I write it in a form of a letter and after, I let it go.  It is momentous to seek advice from experts but sometimes, sit down and talk to God.  Anytime i talk to God about a problem, He directs me to people i can go to for help. When I pray to Him, He gives me their names and when i go they do not deny me. I have tried it several times, it worked for me and I believe it will work for you too.
Communication is one of the reasons why God created us. There are many marriages that have broken up because of lack of communication. Either the man was an introvert or the woman was an extrovert. Whichever case it may be, both failed to reason up. Talk to God about that problem. You can put it down in a letter form like I do each time I’m confronted with a problem. Do not let circumstances change your destiny. I know people who were born into poverty and today have grown to be armed robbers. They allowed circumstances to change their name and destiny. Well, I was born into a very poor family. I mean the poorest of the poor. My mother and father were illiterates, but today I can read and write. I never allowed that to discourage me in anyway...Start talking to God today about that problem you are facing. I believe that is the best way to find the solution.

A Friend Request From God



Today when I logged on to facebook – my eyes were hunting presumptuously on just one thing --Friend Request. I barely get them so I was amazed when the red light had parachute (1). “Who do I have here?” I asked myself. I couldn’t guess as I usually do, because many a time it’s a writer, author or perhaps someone who might have spotted me in an article or a post. In fact I was skeptical.
In spite of that, I hilariously dragged my mouse and neatly place the cursor on the Tab. There I saw:
God wants to be your friend on facebook, would you accept him?  Dudes, I was really scared. Huh? “God on facebook, what would He be doing here? Isn’t He suppose to be in Heaven and answer our prayers?” I thought.
Today, as you are facebooking –remember to faithbook too. Every “facebooker” must learn to be a “faithbooker. “
God is a good God. He loves to be with us wherever we are. And He understands the facebook factor, the twitter method and the MySpace fun.
Oh my God, how wonderful it is to live knowing wherever you are God is there too to help with the big and the small things in our lives.
No matter wherever you are in the world, God wants to connect with you. My simple question is: Are you a friend of God? Not just on facebook, but are you walking with God in faith knowing He is there for you. God is even interested to hear you when you are eating, jumping or cooking. No matter how big your mistakes are, God still loves you. Its okay if you aren’t on facebook, but you must be in faithbook --God’s heart.
