El Shaddai, Almighty God

Day 23.

El Shaddai, Almighty God.

Life can cause you to question a lot of different things. I saw a post on social media the other day that really spoke volumes to me.

"That moment you realize the inconsistency of your success is parallel to the inconsistency of your walk with God" -Nicole Houston

Anytime I feel like giving up I think about all the things Gods brought me to and brought me through. I remember that because I struggle, when I succeed my testimony will be even more impactful. I remember a time when I decided I was going to give up on God. I was no longer going to fulfill my kingdom assignment, I was done with my ministry, and anything else that had to do with having faith and believing in God. Why? Because it SEEMED like everything around me was crumbling. I look back at that chapter in my life and laugh. When I gave up on God He showed me what giving up on Him truly entailed. I thought everything was falling apart. He soon let me see what it meant to have nothing. My business stopped. I had no customers and I went through one of the longest dry seasons I've ever experienced since I've been in business for myself. I was disgusted, but I needed to go through what I went through so God could humble me. He revealed to me how much I needed Him.

He used people who were hurting to help heal me in my hurt. How? By using those close to me. It seemed like during that period of time everyone I knew was going through something, physically, emotionally, or financially. I've never been the person to turn my back on someone when they need advice or just someone to vent to. I always say, everybody needs somebody. As I would listen to their pain it wasn't until I would get off the phone or hours later after the conversation ended, that I would realize I needed to use my own advise. I realized I never stopped speaking faith to people. I realized that the solution to everyone's problem was God; try God, trust God, have faith and read Gods word. I realized I was hurting and He was sending people to me to help me realize how much any of it has never been about me, it was always about Him. His grace, His power, His mercy, His word, His faithfulness.

It didn't take me long to repent and try to get my life back in alignment with His will for my life. As soon as I started back serving in the kingdom of God and tending to my ministry outlet my business started to receive clients again. I moved back home recently and my first thought was I'm going to uproot my business and have to start all over again. I thought I would loose it all, but then I remember who God was and I decided to step out on faith. I decided to not give up, but allow God to show up and show out in my situation. I made a vow to myself that since this year has been prophesied to me as the year of the double, no matter what I won't slip in my commitment to the Kingdom of God, I won't slip in my giving, and I definitely won't slip when it comes to blessing Gods people. My clientele has doubled! I've been booked and for some dates overbooked! I've never not had what I NEEDED and I know it all has to do with my faithfulness to God.

Today I encourage you to trust even when it seems like everything is falling apart. Stay in faith and stay faithful to the assignment that is on your life. Always remember, God will make a way out of no way, just have faith! God is mighty to do all things!

El Shaddah, Almighty God!
