Fear wants you to give up trusting God; delay wants you to doubt if God will ever fulfill any of His words, promises, and plans in your life; consistent difficulties want you to believe it is and will remain impossible for you to ever get through; past failures wants you to know that no effort of yours will ever yield your expected result; people want you to give up faith, trust, and hope in God and in His words; uncertainties want you to know that things are not as you have believed, imagined, and think, and Satan is watching and waiting for your reaction but through Christ our Lord and Savior, you will get through whatever is hindering you, whatever is before you as an obstacle, whatever is with you as plague.

Jeremiah suffered several setback and insults while selflessly and faithfully doing the works and will of God; he felt he was deceived, had lost all, friends turned to foes and admirers turned to enemies, yet he succeeded to be what said of him and did what God asked him to do in his days. This is what he said about his experience “You deceived me, Lord and I was deceived; you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me. Whenever I speak, I cry out proclaiming violence and destruction. So the word of the Lord has brought me insult and reproach all day long. But if I say, I will not mention His word or speak any more in His name; His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. I hear many whispering, terror on every side. Denounce him, let’s denounce him; all my friends are waiting for me to slip, saying, perhaps he will be deceived; then we will prevail over him and take our revenge on him. But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced; their dishonor will never be forgotten. Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous and probe the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for to you I have committed my cause.” Jeremiah 20:7-12. That will be your own testimony also.

Often times the road is as smooth as we would like and want it to be, but God still wants you to press on despite the odds; He still wants you to keep hope alive, remain faithful, obedient, not to compromise life, not to give up trusting, and keep yourself worthy when He comes to fulfill His plans for your life. God’s watchful eyes are never closed concerning your prayers; He is never tiered watching over you even in your darkest moments when you believe all is lost; He is never going to stop leading you and taking you to the place He had prepared for you in life. God will not allow you to roam the streets alone even when no one is there to help, assist, or guide you; He will not allow you to face the challenges of living right alone; He will not allow you to pursue His destiny for your life alone, He is there with you for your good, and He will ensure you are where He said and do what He had destined.

Even on the Cross at Calvary, where Christ Jesus our Lord and savior finally gave up His life for the remission of our sins, God the Father was there with Him to ensure He endured the pains, endued the insults, endured the shame, and endured the cross. He was there also to ensure Christ was not abandoned in the grave; He raised Him from the grave and gave Him a name that is far above every other name in heaven and on earth thereafter. “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11. God wants you to know that it is not impossible for Him to take you through all the things hindering and afflicting you and your chances despite all the known odds against you. He makes ways for people even where there had been none, He will make yours. For prayers, Click here
