When God closes the door...

I was browsing my old notes on last year's preaching series', then suddenly this phrase caught my attention 'God removes some things in ypour life because He knows what's best for you'

The last quarter of 2007 wasn't the best quarter for me, there's so many failures, disappointments, and trials that I've gone through... basically, my life was a mess!!!

I quit my job, broken pacts with some of my friends, people talking negative things about me and my friends, issues, etc... whoa!!!

It's hard coping up to these things/predicaments especially when they all come like it was a same day package..

To be honest, I didn't care much of the issues but it gets worse as the year ends. God had close many doors in my life during the last quarter of 2007.

Well there are some great things that happened to me during those times, i mean, I finally had my victory weekend, the christmas convergence, and the victory weekend for kids where I was part of the music team, but you know what, its hard coz on the other hand my problems only just get bigger nad bigger... that even up to the start of my 2008, my problemns had gone crazy!!!.

During the prayer and fasting, I've included my problems and issues that I'm into, praying for a breakthrough, I mean I really wanted them to stop, to put an end into it. :)

Little did I know that God wanted to teach and show me much more meaningful things. Its true that when god closes a door, He opens the windows in your life, He really knows what's best for you and never He will let you go on hanging on to those problemes.

God gave me true brothers, friend, and leaders that really helped me in my Christian walk... these people are real blessings in my life, the silver lining behind the dark clouds that entraps me... and I thank God for them, in the midts of all the predicaments and issues, they are there to help me...

Right now, I'm holding on to God's promise
" So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. " Isaih 41:10 (NIV)
As I look forward for more greater things to happen in my life this year, rather than focus my attention to those who casts their stones at me.

For when God closes the door, I know there's something bigger, better, and brighter that's in store for me.
