UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE POSITION OF A PERSON OR OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE (part one)

 

... YOU SHALL RAISE FOUNDATION OF MANY GENERATIONS... (ISAIAH 58:12)

By: Isaac Mwanzalila 


Topic: Key things to know about the role of other people in your life

In the world we live in, there are people who are an opportunity and others who are a hindrance to the fulfillment of God’s purpose in your life. You may live with them without knowing their position—whether they are on your side or against you. To accomplish His purpose on earth, God uses people, and often the success of His purpose depends on the obedience of those people to their calling.


The Bible says:

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)


“The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.” (Proverbs 16:4)

These scriptures show that God uses both groups—the righteous and the wicked—to accomplish His purpose.
Therefore, it is important to understand that there are people God has placed at every level of your life, and you must be connected with them to succeed. These people may include children, parents/guardians, spiritual and social/government leaders, friends, or workmates. At the same time, remember there are those whose role is to act as obstacles, to try to take you out of God’s way. But in the Kingdom of light, these challenges are meant to make you stronger in seeking, depending on, and knowing God more (Judges 3:1-4).


Think about it: if it weren’t for the challenges faced by the Israelites and our forefathers—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Paul, and others—they would not have known God as deeply as they did. Their trials revealed God more clearly to them and enabled them to move forward without giving up (2 Corinthians 11:24-29).

Five important things to do concerning these people:

1. Pray for God to connect you with them – You may be living among them without knowing their role. Every person God brings into your life is a new idea. The more you pray, the more God will reveal what that person carries for your life.

2. Pray that they remain and endure in their positions – Many of these people are not standing in their rightful place of responsibility. Pray that God will establish them so they remain where they are supposed to be for your success.

3. Pray for God’s protection over them – The devil knows this secret. He always sets traps and obstacles to move such people away from their positions so they fail in their responsibility toward you. Pray for God’s covering over their families, marriages, jobs, and all that concerns them.

4. Maintain good relationships with them – Good communication and relationships between you and those whom God has placed in your life are essential for your success. Pray for peace among you, for when there is peace, they are in a better position to fulfill their part in your life.

5. Recognize they exist in every area of your life – These people are present in all spheres: work, business, ministry, education, family, marriage, farming, etc. You don’t necessarily have to know them personally or by name, but through their work, teachings, ministry, upbringing, or lifestyle, God releases things meant to help you fulfill His purpose in your life.


Why should you pray for them? 

  • Because your success is directly connected to them, and not everyone can stand in their place for you. These people are like the parts of a body—no matter how strong your heart may be, you still need the whole body working together to achieve what you envision.


To be continued in Part Two…

“Glory and honor belong to You, Jesus; You alone are worthy, my Lord.”

…UTAIINUA MISINGI YA VIZAZI VINGI… (Isaya 58:12) Mafundisho ya Neno la Mungu Na: Isaac Mwanzalila Mada: Mambo muhimu ya kujua kuhusu ndoto kama njia ambayo Mungu anatumia kusema na wanadamu (a) Sio kila ndoto inatoka kwa Mungu – Licha ya kwamba ndoto ni njia muhimu ambayo Mungu anatumia kusema na wanadamu, si ndoto zote zinatoka kwa Mungu. Biblia inatuonyesha wastani wa vyanzo vitatu vya ndoto ambavyo ni Mungu, Shetani au Mtu mwenyewe. Katika Ayubu 33:14 imeandikwa ‘Kwa kuwa Mungu hunena mara moja, Naam, hata mara ya pili, ajapokuwa mtu hajali. Katika NDOTO, katika maono ya usiku, Usingizi mzito uwajiliapo watu, Katika usingizi kitandani’. Kupitia andiko hili tunaona kwamba Mungu ndiye chanzo. Yeremia 29:8 imeandikwa ‘Maana Bwana wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, Manabii walio kati yenu, na wabashiri wenu, WASIWADANGANYE ninyi, wala msisikilize NDOTO ZENU, MNAZOOTESHA’. Pia Zekaria 10:2 imeandikwa ‘Kwa maana vinyago vimenena maneno ya ubatili, nao waaguzi WAMEONA UONGO; nao wa...

... UTAINUA MISINGI YA VIZAZI VINGI...(ISAYA 58:12) Na: Isaac Mwanzalila   KWELI_KUU: Maisha ni uanafunzi katika kujifunza kumjua Mungu kwa kumjua Kristo Yesu Bwana. Zaburi 32:8 Nitakufundisha na kukuonyesha njia utakayoiendea, Nitakushauri, jicho langu likikutazama UTANGULIZI Shule ni muunganiko wa madarasa tofauti tofauti katika ngazi na viwango tofauti tofauti yenye lengo la kumfundisha mtu mtu kujua jambo, au mambo fulani au kitu fulani kwa kina na weledi sana. Na katika shule kuna vipimo au mitiani toka darasa hadi darasa ambavyo hutumika kumpima mtu kama amejua na kufahamu jambo fulani na kwamba anastahili kuvuka na kwenda ngazi au kiwango cha juu zaidi kwa kuingia darasa linalofundisha viwango hivyo vya elimu au mafundisho. Lengo ni mwanafunzi afikie kiwango fulani cha kujua jambo fulani kitakachomsaidia kuishi maisha yake kwa ufahamu na ujuzi aliona juu ya jambo lile akikabiliana na changamoto za kimaisha anazokuta nazo siku kwa siku. Mungu anayoshule katika maisha yetu, na...

MAMBO YA KUMSAIDIA KIJANA ALIYEOKOKA AISHI MAISHA YENYE USHUHUDA MZURI

…UTAIINUA MISINGI YA VIZAZI VINGI… (Isaya 58:12)  Mafundisho ya Neno la Mungu  Na: Isaac Mwanzalila  Mtume Paulo katika waraka wake kwa Timotheo anamwambia hivi, ‘Mtu awaye yote ASIUDHARAU ujana wako, bali uwe KIELELEZO kwao waaminio, katika usemi na mwenendo, na katika upendo na imani na usafi. JITUNZE nafsi yako, na mafundisho yako. DUMU katika mambo hayo; maana kwa kufanya hivyo UTAJIOKOA NAFSI YAKO NA WALE WAKUSIKIAO PIA’ (1Timotheo 4:12 & 14). Sentensi hizi zinatuonyesha kwamba kijana yeyote ambaye amefanya uamuzi wa kuokoka, kwa hakika amefanya maamuzi ambayo yanamtaka amaanishe katika kumfuata kwake Yesu au kuuishi wakovu wake. Pamoja na kumpa Yesu maisha yake ni lazima kijana afanye maamuzi ya kuishi maisha ya kudumu kumpendeza Mungu kwa kuzikubali gharama zinazohusiana na wokovu aliouchagua na si kuishi maisha yenye kupelekea jina la BWANA kutukanwa kama ilivyo kwa baadhi ya vijana wengi leo. Ukisoma mstari huu wa 1Timotheo 4:14 kwenye toleo la kiingere...
