HAPPY NEW MONTH EVERYONE, IT PROMISES TO BE EXCITING FOR US ALL.
I was reading my Bible one morning, and i noticed something that clearly struck me, and I couldn’t help but share the truth about it, because I have experienced it too.
Judges 3:4 struck me, it reads and I quote: “NIV:They were left to test the Israelites to see whether they would obey the Lord’s commands, which he had given their ancestors through Moses.”
From the above passage, I was able to know God allow certain things to happen to us, because He love us and want us to learn something vital which we are not able to learn because we are clouded by certain feelings and emotions. He’s a jealous God, so He always want us to Himself. When we go a whoring or wrong, He devices all methods possible to bring us back to Him. No one is far from the reach of His love and Grace through Jesus.
He allowed the Israelites to have these five (5) nations to make them experience war, so they can come back to Him, and ask Him for help. God always want us to experience Him, so we can know Him personally, intimately and trust Him. He sent them Othniel, and they got liberated for forty (40) years. They drifted again, He sent them Ehud, they got saved and were liberated for eighty years. The thing is, if you haven’t picked up the lesson God want you to learn in a certain situation, you will always repeat that experience, that is why many people, after heartbreak upon heartbreak, wonder why the good guy or the good girl never come their way. It is also the reason, many people question why God allow so many things come their way.
We need to see beyond the hurt and learn the lessons. Stop being clouded and see the invisible hand of God trying to draw you to Himself via tangible lessons. I never said it’s easy, but it's wise to look beyond your hurt and learn, so you can move on to the next stage.
Take the example of a student in a particular class. He has to pass his or her examinations to move to the next class. If the requirement isn't met, he or she will always repeat that class or if persistent, advised to withdraw. Don't let life's challenges lead to your withdrawal from life. Learn all you need to learn and forge ahead.
Receive the grace to move forward. Amen.
Thank you for reading.

As it is is in the academic world, so is it in real life. Until we pass some tests and achieve some milestones, we cannot make necessary progress.
Thank you for this post @olawalium

Happy new month Egbon.
God allow certain things to happen not because he doesn't love us or neglect our prayers but because he wants the best for his Children.
No sane nursing Mother abandons her offspring.
Happy new month.

Happy New Month Sir, well l have heard many people say that God allow somethings to happen so we His children can make amend. Well, to the best of my knowledge, God may allow things to happen but he doesn't not allow negative things to happen to His elect.

Happy new month, brother.
Yes, He doesn't allow negative things to happen to His elect, but when our human tendencies kicked in and we fall, the devil sneaks in and try us, so when we call to Him, He turns it just to favour us in the end. For anyone in Christ, it is always a win-win. Do not forget, He knows the mistake we would make, even before we make them.
