PRAYĭear Heavenly Father, thank You for answering my prayers, even when the answer is no. So, I encourage you today to keep the faith when Jesus says no. When we walk the path He has made for us His purpose will be fulfilled. Last, when His will is revealed walk in it. We must trust Him and know that His will is what’s best for us. Sometimes no is the blessing that will propel us into our destiny. Versuri SAY YES - Michelle Williams: When Jesus say Yes, nobody can say No / (When Jesus say Yes, nobody can say No) / When Jesus say Yes, nobody can say No.
There are three things we must do when Jesus says no. If our desire doesn’t line up with His will, Jesus may very well say no.
But, what happens when Jesus says no? Psalm 37:4 tell us that God will give us the desires of our heart, but verse five goes on to say we must commit our way to the Lord, trust Him and He will act. Everyone was excited to declare “when Jesus says yes, nobody can say no”. In 2014, Michelle Williams released a song titled “When Jesus Says Yes”. – Psalm 37: 4-5 ESV TODAY’S ENCOURAGEMENT
Commit your way to the LORD trust in Him, and He will act. May He encourage you as you do so.Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Because even when we are faithless, even when we are foolish, He remains faithful. And it may not make sense at the moment, I still have no-answers that still do not make sense, but this one thing I have learnt, I can trust the heart of this God as this blogpost explains -> Trust without border. He says He will work it ALL out for your good. If you are going through a no-moment, there may be no song written to help you yet, but God is holding you together. Where You lead me Lord I will follow…coz it ALL belongs to You”. I sing this song even in the no-answer situation “ I am not worried about a thing, coz I know You are guiding me. Lord, with a thankful heart, I bless your name. I may kick and fight but you love me too much to let me walk into the ditch. I am grateful that Daddy you see when I am walking into a ditch and refuse to let me go. I know You said no but more than that, even more than words could describe I am grateful you said no. I know left to myself I would have perished in the sea of foolishness. Yet He held on as only a Father can, He said no. It is that as only a Father can, He told me severally, even though you do not see it now, I do this for your good. It is that when I was foolish, when I was absolutely daft, He held my hand and refused to let me go down a path that I would regret later on. Yet that is not the story I am most grateful for. In the recent past I have felt loved by God beyond what words could describe. And it is not always because I am better off having received the no-answer, but because in all instances He works it out for my good. Years later, sometimes when I am lucky months or days later, I am glad I have a God who says no. It is as the saying goes, ‘you live your life but understand it backwards’. Every single no-answer God has given me, when I look back, without exception I am always glad He said no. Why? He has my best interest at heart (you can read more on this in this blogpost -> Trust without borders). Yet God is teaching me to take them all as answers. I struggle with the no-answers and the more vested I am on the issue, the harder the no answer is to take. That’s why I am convinced there is an unwritten song on what to do when Jesus says no! So if I do not expect my friends to be yes men, I wonder why I expect God to be a Yes-Man! Why do I expect Him to agree with all my great ideas? Why do I expect Him to just be a rubber stamp?īecause of one reason, when He says no, it hurts. I have no fear cause I know who’s in control. (When Jesus say Yes, nobody can say No) I’m not worried ’bout a thing. When I have a conversation with anyone at any point, it is kinda shady to expect that they will agree with me in all I will say and therefore only be saying yes. (When Jesus say Yes, nobody can say No) When Jesus say Yes, nobody can say No. You know the way conversations will always have two sides, a possibility of a yes or no, otherwise it is a monologue conversation, and monologue conversations are not conversations. Okay I clearly am not a songwriter as those lyrics do not rhyme but still, there is a conversation there that needs to be had. Yet someone needs to tell Michelle Williams and Co that they need to do another rendition one for when Jesus says no, what to do. The YouTube upload has been equally popular! We clearly love the beats behind this song but the lyrics do not hurt either, they are encouraging and often what we need to hear. So this song ‘when Jesus say yes nobody can say no’ has been top on gospel music charts for a while now.
