True happiness outside of GOD's ways does not exist, because sooner or later a feeling of emptiness will creep into your life

When I grow up I will be …

When I grow up I will be ...

This sentence reminds me of my childhood, and I'm sure it does the same for you.

When we were little, there were lots of things we couldn't do, and we would say to ourselves, “When I grow up, I'll be/I'll do...” Then time passed, a lot of time passed, and in the end we followed the norm of going to school: kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and even high school for some of us.

In any case, I can assure you that education is not the subject of our discussion today, and of course education is useful, very useful.

Whether it's you or me, throughout this journey, we have been influenced by our environment, whether it be family or friends, social norms in the broadest sense, and more specifically, the supposed definition of happiness and success in society, at least in the environment in which we live.

Based on this definition of happiness and success, we have carefully considered our choices, either alone or with the help of loved ones, to develop a strategy, a roadmap that would lead us to the Holy Grail, to perfect success!

This definition of success is relative. For some, it is primarily about having a lot of money; for others, it is about getting married quickly and being happy as a couple; for others, it is the freedom to travel whenever they want; for others, it is having many children or a good job. In short, there are as many definitions of this concept as there are individuals.Cette phrase me fait penser à mon enfance et je pense que vous aussi certainement.

What if I told you that you were actually created by GOD and that, because of His meticulous nature, He had planned everything for you in advance, even before your parents conceived you?

This brings us to three essential points:

  1. God has a plan for you, God has a plan for each of us
  2. No matter what circumstances brought you to Earth, whether it was through rape or you never knew your father/mother, or even if you are an orphan, no matter what your “faults” or “mistakes” may be, there is a plan for all of this because even our times of trial and error are part of GOD's overall plan
  3. Hell really exists, and we are invited to accept Jesus into our lives now because tomorrow does not belong to us.

If you have doubts about this last point, what do you have to lose after all? If it is true that Jesus saves, then thank God you will be saved, and if it is false, you will lose nothing at all!

As we said earlier, GOD has a plan for each of us, and no matter how desperate or distressed you may be right now, nothing is lost; His plan remains active.

To understand this, let's look at this passage from Jeremiah 29:11

 " For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

The important thing to note is that in order to fully embrace this plan, you must accept Jesus into your life and then allow yourself to be led by the Holy Spirit, meaning that GOD will guide you and show you the way forward.

To do this, HE has several methods, namely: inner conviction, visions (dreams, visions, etc.), and burdens, which are ideas that occupy your mind permanently or almost permanently, as Dr. Raoul Wafo explains in Part 1, the link to which is at the beginning of this article.

Of course, there are other possible methods.

After accepting Jesus, we must truly thirst for GOD to speak to us and guide us according to His plan for us. This is done through prayer, asking Him persistently what He expects of us—yes, persistently, because sometimes it can take a long time in prayer, according to GOD's sovereignty.

From these prayers will emerge prophetic instructions, that is, guidelines that GOD will give us and that will gradually lead us into His plan.

At each stage, dear friend, GOD will test your obedience, like a person climbing the steps of a staircase.

With each instruction you obey, He will reward you by allowing you to move on to the next step until you have an overview of His plan for you, or at least a slightly clearer vision.

I would like to conclude by reassuring you once again. I repeat, no matter what you have been through so far or how dramatic or traumatic your experiences have been, GOD is a GOD who restores, and His plan for you can begin today if you invite Him into your life with sincerity. All it will require is that you pay the price in prayer and then in obedience.

Having a lot of money is great, being materially fulfilled and professionally happy is wonderful, and it is even GOD's will for you. However, you need to understand that just because you have enough money or social success does not mean you can do without GOD.

True happiness outside of GOD's ways does not exist, because sooner or later a feeling of emptiness will creep into your life.

The reality is that : « Provision is found in vision » - Dr Raoul Wafo.

As long as you are doing what GOD expects of you, material blessings and blessings of all kinds will follow you so abundantly that you will not even have anywhere to store them and will not know what to do with them.

You are not alone,

We are in this together !

Send us a quick email if you need to discuss this further.

In the meantime, try to take a step back from our conversation and, above all, take care of yourself.

I love you!
