Welcome to Rotymie's Blog: Don't Give Up

“Don’t give up, you will yet rejoice! Regardless of what the situation looks like, listen to me, if you can stay with God, your victory is set!  "Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, allye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye thatmourn for her:" (Isa 66:10, KJV)Don’t let people surround you with pity party over any issue around you! God is so specific about your victory that the advice He has for all around you is that they should rejoice and be glad.Why would God say that despite my situation?You see, God is not looking at your situation, He is looking at the end. He is not seeing your single status, He is looking at you with your spouse and your children roundabout your table!You look at yourself, you are getting old and there is no spouse. People are concerned for you. Everybody becomes a marriage counsellor around you offering all kind of tips. Even unbelievers are advising you because they feel it is looking like an insurmountable problem.But those are men. At a time, Job looked at all his advisers and said:"I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all." (Job 16:2, KJV)What men say and conclude do not really matter. Only one thing matters, and that is what God says. What is God saying? He says, ‘Don’t allow any pity party. Tell them to be glad, because when you stay with God, you never lose.  Look at the way The Message Translation puts it: "Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her, celebrate! And all you who have shed tears over her, join in the happy singing." (Isa 66:10, MSG)Celebrate! I am sure Job experienced more than this. People around him told him he was finished. Hiswife told him to curse God and die!But He said, “I know that my Redeemer lives!” Glory to God.What are you trusting God for? Fruit of the womb?His word is that none would be barren. That is whereyou should “camp!” Forget about what your in-laws said, it is what God says. God will glorify His word inyour life!  Is it about your career or academic pursuit? God has your back, front and sides covered!
