Rather than getting swept up in the whirlwind of challenges and painful past events, worship leader and recording artiste Zabuli encourages Christians to be rooted and built up in Christ.
Zabuli reveals that relying upon God entails shifting the focus of your mind and heart to Him, and awakening your awareness to His perfect will for your life and His ability to fulfil it.
As Christians, we all experience seasons of profound disappointment in life, and there are more- and less-healthy ways to cope with it. According to Zabuli, effectively dealing with such seasons is part of a fulfilling life.
“God designed everything to give Him glory. If He is the one in control of your life, whatever was meant to destroy you, will turn around and bow to His will for your life,” she said in an update on her Facebook page on Saturday.
Zabuli urged that life’s circumstances can easily rule our emotions if we let them. She went on to explain how God has a purpose for allowing certain events in our lives, for the purpose of our growth, repositioning and sometimes healing.
There is pain but, beauty and destruction lay in there with it, she said.
“All the strength I have today, came from a broken place of surrender to God. All the hope I have today, came from a dark place where He worked out of my hopelessness. All the boldness I have today, I gained out of lack of cheerleaders of man but, Him being for me,” she said.
“Sometimes you will go through hurt to see [God] clearly; sometimes you will be betrayed to learn how to trust [God] and not man; sometimes they will break you, then your trust will learn to stand behind an un breakable God. Sometimes the roof will have to fall on you to learn how to lay you foundation on God, for it will stand the taste of time,” she continued.
The ‘Mwana wa Mulodi’ hit singer urged her online audience not to be at the mercy of varied life events, noting that God has given us a way to find hope in the rubble of life.
According to Zabuli, when we know who God is, and truly believe we are in His hands, we are, as David said, “not shaken” (Psalm 62:5).
“All I want you to do is to embrace the pain to learn how to see me raise you above it, not exalt it above redemption,” she quoted God as re-echoing words in her spirit.
