BUT WHY ME OOH LORD MY GOD???

The true story of my life in a new town, environment and Church. Have you ever been in a situation where you find yourself asking questions like but why did God allow me to be in this situation? Why me? Before I speak, let me share the story of my life. I have been serving in my church and am holding a leadership position. I was informed that I will be doing my internship at a hospital that is 8hours away from my church and I would be working on Sundays. Many people encouraged me to pray that God may send me to a hospital that is near my church but within my spirit God told me to be still and I had that peace that God had spoken. Someone even said to me, your lecturers like you so much why they sent you so far, go and reason with them but I didn't want to. I then preached my last Sunday sermon and packed my bags. I arrived safely and one of my friends Carol Gumbo researched about the place where I was coming to and she gave me a list of all the churches around and the Holy Spirit led me to just one church and the church welcomed me as if I had known them for a life time. Yesterday I had a prayer session with the pastor, his wife and one church member. We prayed hard and the pastor's wife said to me we want to learn how to have revival from you. As the spirit of God was upon me, I spoke to the pastor and the word I told him was directly in line with a word he had been told in the morning by some prayer warriors. The pastor's wife broke into tears as she was praying and all she could say was Lord thank you for Tinashe, you have sent him for revival. I was wondering why she cried and they told me that they had stopped prayer gatherings but the moment I arrived in the church for the first time, the Holy Spirit ministered to them that it was time they started again. She was also given a word by God about 2 months back and today the word was fulfilled because of my arrival. I cried and I knew that the Holy Spirit was with me and he had already gone before me. The pastor was so happy and today he invited me for special interdenominational prayer meeting for pastors. I am not a pastor but I sat with pastors and was given a platform to share among pastors. Today also I was given an invitation to share on the youth service on 24th. I have found my purpose in this town, so my sister/brother, next time before you start asking God so many stupid questions ask yourself why God has allowed you to be in that situation because he has a purpose for everything. After every storm there will appear a rainbow. No matter what circumstances life throws in your direction, you have to believe that you can handle it. Its really about our perception. Theres no such thing as a bad circumstance. All those things we perceive as bad are actually real growing experience in life. You have to see that everything that happens to you has come into your life for a reason, and we are challenged in life because thats what life is all about. Lifes about how we deal with those challenges
