Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 69
Title: There
Is No State Of Absolute Nothingness!!
There
was famine in the land so much so that people were dying from hunger and
starvation on daily basis. Every day corpses littered the streets of the
Community. As a widow with an only son, she had made every effort to weather
the storm caused by the famine, she had rationed the oil and flour she had in
such a way that as she reasoned, it was better to have a little every day than
to eat it all once and starve to death. She had managed her resources well.
Then she was left with the last portion and as trepidation filled her heart as
to what will happen when she and her son had had the last portion, help came
her way. God directed the feetsteps of His Servant and he happened on her and
demanded that she prepare food for him with her last resource. She was filled
with fear, she wondered who he was but out of her fear came some form of
courage, she reasoned that this man who spoke with authority must know what he
was saying and doing and so she went in and thrusting all doubt aside, prepared
the last meal for the man that came to her. The man ate to his satisfaction,
thanked her profusely, proclaimed a blessing on her and her son and took his
leave. When it was time to prepare her daily meal with her son, she went into
her kitchen, opened the flour container and behold it was filled to the brim;
the gallon of oil was also filled to the brim and infact running over; thus not
only did they eat that meal but they also ate many more meals everyday until
the famine was over and all she did was trust in the word of a man she didn't know
but who told her "thus said the Lord". Sometimes we find ourselves in
situations that lead us to believe that the world had finally come to an end,
situations that we describe as being hopeless and in which we feel helpless and
then all we can imagine are destruction, chaos and anarchy; despair takes the
better part of us and we find no reason to praise not to talk of pray. That is
the state of absolute nothingness when there is nothing left to hold onto and
all the person concerned is waiting for is death. But my good friend, today I
want to tell you that "miracles still happen" they may take a while
to occur but they do occur. I am a living testament of this saying. For as long
as a man is still alive, there can never be a state of absolute nothingness
because since hope is the last thing to go, there is always a remnant of hope
left behind if only we can lift up our heads and exercise some little faith
even as small as the mustard seed; there will always be light at the end of the
very dark tunnel, but are we looking? are we observing? are we watching? are we
willing to wait it out? When despair sets in, don't be in rush to make any
decision, that could be detrimental; give room for comfort to set in and then
reach back to your inner man, find strength to move on from the inside, it pays
greater dividend. Are you at your tether's end, hang in there, there is a God
above, He will rescue you just when all hope is lost.
