Take courage

Daily reflections 
by Fr. Augustine Odoh


Take courage, it is I, the Lord, do not be afraid (Mtt 14:27). Christ is right now telling you to fear not because he is in charge. God is in control of your entire life threatening situations. As Christ was able to quell and quieten the turbulent water for the apostles, he will surely do same to you. Please, be sure that the turbulent family life, relations, your business, academics and marriage crisis, health hazards will be controlled and taken care of. God is really in the centre of your problem and promises you that he is in charge. God is saying to you today; son of man; sons and daughters of God arise! I want you to rise from your sick bed; rise above your problems as you are listening or reading this, God will surely care and save you no matter the situation and the cause! Even if sin caused it (cf Jer 30:12-15), God is interested to set you free from your defilement (cf Jer 30:27) Remember this strong promise from God;… “I am the Lord that heals you (Ex 15:26). Be assured that God is not God of the dead but of the living. He is neither God of failure, nor God of business set back but God who grants progress in all life endeavour. So, have faith and be courageous, never doubt (Mtt 14:31). God is in charge! Amen.
