WE CELEBRATE JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR EVERYDAY -- 1 CORINTHIANS 10:31
Post date: Jul 9, 2014 4:01:01 AM
I am trusting God that your present challenge will never consume the best of you, will not lead to the destruction of your dreams and the things you have been working on all these years; it will never destroy your faithfulness in following Jesus Christ, it will not destroy the relationship with your spouse, with your children, and with your family; it will not destroy the relationship with your colleagues at work and with your boss; it will not destroy your chances of receive the good things that the Lord has destined for you in life, and it will destroy your chances for better day in the hands of the Lord God Almighty
I want you to know that there is nothing that will ever happen to you without the full knowledge and permission of your God, and because He had permitted them to happen to you, the challenge will never destroy you irrespective of its magnitude and the things that will come with them to you physically and spiritually. God did not permit it because He hates you, His love for you do not diminish by the challenges you go through. Remember, even in all the challenges that Job went through, God never turned His back on him and did permit them to destroy him, He granted him a blessing that people never expected will ever happen to him thereafter.
Before you began seeing these challenges in your life, God had set a time for them to go, God has not given them the freewill to torment and overrun you completely and it must not overstay that time in your life. Your life is very precious to God and will always remain precious despite the outcome of these challenges; God will still, and is still working with you, and using you to advancing His work and your cause in life. Do not let down your dreams, your visions and the desires to achieve the best and to wait for the Lord’s blessing because of these challenges.
Though no one expects challenges in life, in that of their children and spouse, and challenges in the lives of any member of their family, challenges do come, and as they come, so will they go away because they are always timed by the Lord God. Expectation is one good thing to have in life, but in every expectation, they will definitely be many unexpected situations, many pains and many other things to do daily.
No one ever prays for challenge and no one ever wishes one will come sooner. But despite all the physical and spiritual self-preparations and the very best of all your good self-esteem programs, good self-encouragement, active and rewarding self-engagement, the best of daily self-developments trainings, no one had ever escape facing challenges in his or her life. One thing with challenge is the unexpected result that we do not often notice. There will always be some situations that will rise to challenge your faith, to challenge your marriage life, but none of those situations will ever last forever; they have just sometimes to last.
“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven, a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build up, A time to cry and a time to laugh, a time to grieve and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones, a time to embrace and a time to turn away, a time to search and a time to quit searching, a time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend, A time to be quiet and a time to speak, A time to love and a time to hate, A time for war and a time for peace.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Remember, every challenge has its time to come and its time to go away and through the times, God will not leave you alone as you go through them. Despite the time it takes during those challenges, you will never miss the time of the blessing of God upon your life despite what may be happening, you will not miss the time of the refreshing from heaven because your God works in all seasons and in all situations to bring His children to His fullness.
