We face different problems everyday and the amusing part is how we still come with solution to those problems. As far as there's life, the problems of this world can never come to an end.
We Humans always forget the fact that this life we are living isn't ours but it was given to us by God and him alone can solve our problems without requesting for anything.
Sometimes those problems we face are just to test out faith in God.
As recorded in the Holy Bible, Abraham was a man of strong faith in God. He did whatever God instructed him to do.

But one day God decided to test his faith, to see if he will stick with him no matter the situation.
Before the test, 'Abraham and Sarah' needed a child and for many years they stayed faithful to God believing that one day he will do his miraculous work.
So God blessed them with a son called ISAAC. on one of those faithful day, God's instruction to Abraham was to sacrifice his only son whom it took so many years to have.
Abraham never doubted God's will. He took his son to the alter he was to be sacrificed but God called him and said "son for this your act of faith in me, you will be the father of all nation".
Why did I bring up this story? In times of temptations and trials, we Humans should exercise trust in God because him alone is the solution to mankind problems.
You can have all the wealth and riches of this world but if you don't have God by your side, trust me everything is vanity upon vanity.
In the year 2020, God used that year to reveal to humanity that he still existed, just like in the days of old when plagues would fill the land and destroy everything. 2020 was really terrible, a disease human being are still looking for the cure fell upon the face of the Earth.
Corona-virus disease killed millions of people all around the world. The whole nation's economy was buried.
A disease that even the world most powerful countries couldn't fight. People where so scared of their lives.
A total lockdown was placed all around the world. Parents couldn't see their children who lived Faraway, children couldn't go to school, loved ones were asked not it see each other again, mosque and churches where shutdown. The only functioning institution was the hospitals.
Everybody including those who never believed decided to run back to God for help, this shows how might the Lord is, his goodness and mercies endures for ever.
What is that problem you are facing.? Is it job opportunity, school admission, marriage or money.? I oblige you today to come back to God as he is the only solution to that problem.
What about JOB in the Bible, as it was recorded, he faced so many challenges but never gave up on God. JOB lost his children in one day, his houses was crushed down to dust, his livestocks where killed all in one day but he never stopped believing in God.
JOB's wife and friends talked him into cursing God and die; but as a man of faith he declined and said God who gave and took it away has his reasons.
When God restored what he had lost he was given double what he lost during his time of trials.
The situation you find yourself today might be what God is using to teach the world a lesson.
God said ' come to me you all that have laboured and are tired, for I will give you rest'. Call unto God and he is ready to see you through that difficult situation you find yourself in.
What pushes us away from God.?
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. As humans, we were born into sin but it's our responsibility to crawl back to God and reunite with him.
The only thing to do is admit we have sinned and ask for his forgiveness, according to the Bible, "For God is not blind to see us suffering nor is he deaf to hear our cries but the only thing that separate us from him is sin. Sin stands as a barrier between us and our creator.
God said if we confess our sins and repent of them, he will gladly forgive us and accept us like the prodigal son in the Bible.
Let me share a story with you.!
One day my neighbors children where playing in the balcony, these neighbor of mine had two children and a chicken. The younger son mistakenly threw a stone at the chicken and it died.
The older brother saw him and threatened to report to their mother unless the younger brother obliged to his wills.
Whenever the elder brother was given a task to do he will simply tell the younger brother to do it or he was going to report him about the chicken he killed.
This continued for weeks until the younger brother became tired of treatment. one day he went to the mother crying and asked the mother for forgiveness. He confessed and told his mom what Happened, his mother told him 'son I know what you did'.
On that faithful day, I was watching from the window. I saw the torture you went through because you allowed your brother to use your mistake against you.
I am glad you realized your mistake and decided to open up.
So today , keep it in mind that the more you prolong going to God for reunion the more your sins will keep torturing you. Confess your sins and God will accept you with open arms.
Don't allow your sins to plan your life. Don't allow grudges and hatred push you away from God. Him alone remains the solution to all the problems you are passing through. Allow God be the Judge.
