My Lost Phone


               

Woke up at 2:45am, heard my phone drop under by bed.
The first thing I checked was for the charger that my phone was plugged into; that would have kept it safe. In other words, it would have held on to the phone; the phone would be hanging on to it (which ever). Sadly, though, my charger had been taken off by my younger sister so my phone dropped with no trace!

Sometimes we allow people take away from us those things that charge our spirit; devotion time, prayers, bible meditation, praise sessions, fellowship and all the other things that build up our spiritual beings. This is one thing we need to think about; hold on to the activities that keeps you close to God. Hold on to the things that connects you to God. Do not let no one or thing take it from you.
Well. Anyway, as I noticed there was no charger to lead me to the phone, I stretched out my arm  with open hands to try and feel and pick up my phone but I just could not feel it! I then got out of bed. Walked straight into my sister's room just to confront her for removing my charger. I went back to my room and searched for my phone but still didn't find it. Just as I was about to give up to leave the phone search for later in the morning (as I was tired anyway), I noticed my house phone beside me. I used it to call my lost phone. My phone rang from deep underneath my bed.

The struggle to get it out from where it had fallen was unreal! I really was not ready for this situation but because I could hear it ring, I could feel it vibrate, I knew I needed it for communication, I just knew I had to bring it out from wherever it was ringing from.

I called it a couple of times and I noticed it was at the bottom of a box under my bed! So I got down on my knees, I moved things around: my bedside shelf, my shoe basket and some random boxes under my bed and finally, the box where the phone was ringing from. I still did not find the phone (even though I knew where it was) but I did at last! And I thought; I better wrIte about this. I had to come out my comfort zone to find what I needed to find
This is how we should search for God immediately we sense that we might have lost Him or feel distant from Him or feel like we have disconnected from the 'charger' of our spiritual bodies. We should stop everything else and start to call Him! Once you call Him, you will hear Him, you will feel Him move. So follow the lead of the Holy spirit and find God in your life again right now. Do not wait till the morning. You might miss important calls of blessings and prosperity. You might just miss the special anointing he was preparing for you. Do the right thing; pray. Just like I picked up my house phone. Pray to call God and go down on your knees to find him. Seek Him, don't stop seeking till you find Him; even when you know He is there, do not stop till you finally find Him and can feel Him. When you do find Him, adore Him. Let Him use you! Love Him. Cherish, keep and Respect Him because God loves you and your phone does not. 
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.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
I pray that God gives us the grace and strength not to give up when we are in search for Him in Jesus name.
