Is your life on the wrong trajectory? Pt. 2

And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
Acts 7: 23-25 KJV

During my stay in England, I met this man who was a Nigerian. He spoke with a Nigerian Southwest accent and knew some affluent people in England. He lived in England and paid for his children’s education in one of the best schools in Lagos Nigeria. One day we found out he worked as a cleaner; we were surprised and asked him a question. Sir you dress well and speak well; and with all the people you say you know why is it that this is where you work? His response was very revealing; he told us that he had struggled in life and his life took a wrong trajectory and he found himself where he is.

What are those things that we can do to put our life on the right path again?

  1. Moses realized that his life was in the wrong program. We need to know that there is only one way that is right before God. Jesus said that He is the way, truth and life. A lot of us don’t realize in good time that our life is on the wrong path. 
  2. You must be determined and be desperate enough to say that your life must have a turn around. We should not be comfortable with the pain, violence, circumstances and challenges of our life. We should not be tolerant of bad things or things not working out for us.
  3. You must come to the mountain of God. The bible says Moses kept the flock of his father-in-law but he went to the mountain where he saw the burning bush. What does that mean? He got born again and submitted himself to the will of God.
  4. Believe in the one true God and accept the gift of life that He has given through Christ Jesus.
  5. You must give your life to Jesus Christ. You must be born again; truly and wholly. 
  6. Turn aside, follow a new path and seek a new direction for your life. You cannot do the same thing all the time and expect a new result. 
  7. Be ready to hear God and obey Him. When God saw that Moses was ready to hear Him; that Moses was paying attention, that was when God spoke to him and showed him the things that he wants to do in Egypt.


Whatever we are going through today, I want to assure us that God will reprogram our life. Talk to the Almighty King; the only one that can re-program your life and ask him for help. What makes us look most like God is our ability to make the right choice.

God is going to move in your life this season in Jesus name. Whatsoever mistake you have made or your parents have made that has put you in the backside of life the Lord God shall cancel them today.
Ask God today to change the program of your life. That He who has created you should reprogram your life to the original purpose for which you were created and help you to fulfil that purpose in Jesus.

Whatever is wrong in your life ask the Lord to have mercy today and let my life have a turn around.
Remember that it is never too late for God to bring about a turnaround in your life. This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made thee a ruler and a judge?’ the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. Acts 7: 35 – 36 KJV. Moses was 80 years when his life had the turnaround to the original purpose for which he was born. You can also have that turnaround today.

Is your life on the wrong trajectory? Pt. 1


And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
Acts 7: 23-25 KJV

I was speaking at a wedding yesterday and I spoke on “your life is not your idea”. Basically, the life you live is an idea of the one who created you; the one who created the life you live. Your life is not a mistake; before you were born he already knew you. He created you and decided into which womb you would grow.

Number one is that our life is not our idea; number two, our life has a purpose. God has a program for our life. Moses never thought, neither did he imagine it, that he would still be keeping a small flock at the age of 80 years. At the age of 40 years Moses knew he was born to do great thing; he was born to be the one to deliver his people from slavery. However, the program of his life went wrong the day he decided that he would take law into his own hands and do things his own way. He thought that the Israelis would know that he was their deliverer but when he tried to intervene in a fight between his brothers he got the shock of his life. What he had done a couple of days prior was not hidden, but the Israelis made him realize that what he thought he had done was known.

Moses who was brought up as an Egyptian became the enemy of both the Egyptians and the Israelis. He had nowhere to stand and so he had to flee and run into the desert. Like Moses a lot of us make that one mistake that changes the course of our life. We are like Moses finding ourselves in the desert and not being able to find our way out of the downhill slide our life is moving towards.

At the age of 80 years it had not ended for Moses. Therefore, it has not ended for you. Acts 7:22-36. God’s promise to Abraham was that Israel will be in Egypt 400 years but just at the time that the promise was to be fulfilled Moses made a mistake and the time was delayed another 30 years.
Although Moses saw himself and understood the times, the children of Israel his brethren did not. Therefore, they who Moses was supposed to lead out of captivity turned against him.

David did the same when he committed adultery with Bathsheba the wife of Uriah the Hitite. That one small challenge brought a problem into his family that didn’t depart from it even after his death. Therefore, some of us grow us to inherit the result of the mistakes our parents made.
