Topic: UNDERSTANDING CHALLENGES
Text : John 16:33
33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
This message is meant to shed light on the message of Wednesday titled: STRANGE THINGS, AND WHY THE HAPPEN, the first thing I want to do here is to differentiate between challenges and strange occurrences, while challenges are common to all, strange things are sudden misfortunes that befall people. Challenges are attributed to this world, and everyone goes through it, it is a proof that we are not in heaven yet, HEAVEN is the only trouble free zone, no place on this earth is free from challenges, while strange things are calamities, colossal loss, untimely death, sudden setbacks, they are purely attacks from hell.
When you go through challenges you are liken to someone in a wrestling cage or a football field, there are chances of winning, but strange manifestations of evil is like receiving arrows from the camp of the enemy.
This message is important so that you won’t play in the hands of the enemy, by thinking God allowed evil to befall you. We face challenges as long as we are in this world but God has given us the grace and power to overcome them.
It is important you know that challenges can lead to strange evil occurrences if you fall victim of the points I explained on Wednesday, king David is a good example here, he was faced with many challenges to the point that he said in Psalms 3:1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. But no strange occurrences until he slept with Uriah’s wife and killed Uriah, then calamities befell him, God placed a curse on his family.
Can I shock you? God allows the devil to operate just as he allows you to live, but He has given you power to put him where he belongs, it is important you utilize that power on daily basis, you are set as a watchman over your family, no untimely death should be permitted because you’ve got power over the spirit of death, no terminal disease should have it way in your body or family, you’ve power to reject evil.
Please never give in to the devil by saying, ‘ God is taking me through this ‘, of course we are at a battle front and our enemy is not resting. There is another school of thought who says, ‘ even if I don’t pray, Christ as paid the price ‘ that is another extreme, Jesus was clear in 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Don’t stop praying, our victory is guaranteed. God bless you.
PRAYER.
* I receive grace to conquer every battle of life in the name of Jesus.
