You might have messed up, made some mistakes, been abused, or have been broken-hearted due to circumstances in life. But, you are still alive. You might be broken, but you are unstoppable. You might not be who or where you want to be. But, you are not going down. Where there is a will there is a way. Have courage to stand up, make some adjustments and keep moving forward. God will see you through. You may be hard-pressed on every side, but you are not crushed (2 Corinthians 4:8)
If you are suffering or walking in the realm of not enough it is not Gods fault that is not his will for your life. Your seasons of struggle are not caused by God. So, stop blaming God, for most of the problems you see are man-made, whether it be personal or global, the solution is down to you. Some problems can only be overcome by growing up in the Lord. And, no one ever grows in God by waiting around and saying I do not have time. Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen. (2 Peter 3:18)
Everyone has ups and downs, self-doubt, and negative thoughts. So, whenever your perspective on something creates pain, it is because you have yet to see all the good it will make possible. Just because you are struggling does not mean you are failing. Besides, how can you fail if you have not stopped trying? How can you lose something if you are still capable of giving? The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. Thus, the same heat that melts the candle, hardens the clay. So is the circumstances around you reveals the true character within you.
And, every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there. So, do not submit or quit. I declare that you are victorious, for the things you have been struggling with are coming to an end this season in Jesus name. God is going to do a new thing. (Isaiah 42:9-10)
The challenge you are facing, it is not happening to you; it is happening for you. God is going to use it to your advantage. You may not know when or how long it will take to be victorious, but like Job, there is something better on the other side of your ordeal. So, embrace the possibility that the best is yet to come, and you just may discover that it is. God will make a way just as He did with the Israelites. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land (Hebrews 3:11)
Life is not a fairy-tale. Not everything is a bed of roses and sunshine. There are so much mountains of problems in life to overcome. Some mountains are not meant to be moved but, they are meant to be climbed. You need to work hard, endure pain and pressure all the way. As some would say pressure only makes you stronger. Well, do not forget that burnouts and breakdowns are also real. Sometimes you cannot be real until you can relate. Some things are better said than done.
So, it is important to nurture yourself when under duress. And when a mountain look too hard to climb, remember the one who made the mountains. He knows the way to the top and has the power to take you up there. For the Bible says Before the mountains were formed or the earth and the world were brought forth, you are God from eternity to eternity. (Psalm 90:2)
You may be going through a difficult time, but be encouraged that you are not alone. Always remember, no matter how many problems you have, there is always someone who has more. I have never met a person who was not weighed down by some kind of problem or burden. So, whatever has thrown you off course, know that the loving arms of God and His endless grace are there to put you back.
For God has promised to give you double for your trouble, if you return to Him. He will give you beauty for all those ashes. As He said When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour (Isaiah 43:2-3)
Even though life is not always easy for everyone, just remember that you are not the only one with problems. There is a battle which is going on every day, fight through it. Bear in mind that everyone is not going to be in your corner but, that does not mean you are doing the wrong thing. God holds tomorrow not people. He is already in your next season, holding open the door and waiting for you to arrive. Yes, there will be obstacles. Yes, there will be doubts. Yes, there will be mistakes. But be strong and just keep moving forward. So, I declare that all obstacles and hindrances to your financial prosperity are dissolved in Jesus Name. For, It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, and He adds no sorrow to it. (Proverbs. 10:22)
Let us pray:Almighty God I pray that you touch us in a very special way as you visit everyone of us and let this month be our month of LaughterMay all our cares and burdens be rolled unto youMay the Holy Spirit take control as we have faith that everything will change for better. Amen!3
SITUATIONS AND CONDITIONS
Few situations in life are not as bad as we make them, as frightening as we report them. We tend to make good things bad and bad things worse. Yes, things can be so bad in one area, yet so good in another however, it might take a year, it may take a daybut, what is meant to be will always find a way. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. (Hebrews 10:35)
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out of that situation, take your burden to the Lord and leave it there through prayer. Pray and forgive yourself, appreciate others, listen to your gut, and remind yourself that we are all loved and connected by grace to the Lord. So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while (1 Peter 1:6)
Throughout our lives, there are times when God allows us to go through situations that will cause us to realize our insufficiency and make us depend on Him. No wonder you have dealt with so much and done the best you can in this life. You have been knocked down in the process but, still not out. Take this moment to thank God and appreciate the fact you are still alive. God is in control. No matter how many times you have been disappointed or whatever you have gone through, you are capable of finding peace. He saw you when you cry yourself to sleep.
He always sees your faithfulness. When you stopped running to all sorts of things in trying to find relief from pain and choose to run to Him. If your hope is in Christ alone, you shall never be shaken. From this moment onward you shall never lack again. Never again shall he withhold anything good from you For the Scripture says, Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed. (Romans 10:11)
We all go through unfair situations. Even when we choose Gods way to life, we still face both blessings and troubles, joy and grief. The sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one may raise many unanswerable questions, and as always, tests the depths of our faith and trust. But, believe that God is at your side through it all. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
