Those obstacles in your life may be real or imaginary, they may seem very huge and old, but you can overcome them. They may have been there for generations affecting almost everyone in your family, neighborhood and nation, but they can be destroyed and made ineffective; you should be the one to make that happen in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ you serve. Yes! You have been chosen through the salvation of your soul and given the grace in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and savior. “You are my battle-ax and sword, says the Lord. With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I will shatter armies destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer. With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and flocks, farmers and oxen, captains and officers.” Jeremiah 50:20-23
God did not make anyone without a purpose, without a dream, without a desire, and the devil will never leave anyone to succeed in those purposes without placing hindering obstacles on their path. God did not make anyone without the ability to reason correctly, without the ability to be productive, without the ability to reproduce, to remain productive and He did not make anyone to be a failure. God will not stop the devil from putting obstacles on your path, but He can stop the obstacles from derailing His plans for your life if your seek Him and follow His words. Because of His good intention for you, He made you perfect in the beginning, He also desire your success and happiness always, and He is always willing and quite capable to intervene adequately and appropriately in your life in order to bring His original purpose and intent in your life.
Obstacles only exist when you come to realize that you have a dream, a desire, and a purpose in this life to pursue, but obstacles are magnified when you put your heart, and steps out with the right intent in the right places to actualize those dreams, desires and purposes. Everyone has a dream and a desire; everyone is busy doing something that will bring them into their expected happy time, and everyone is experiencing obstacles. What you do in time of, and with any of the obstacles in your life matters to your success, your family and to God. While God is waiting and watching for you to overcome them, the devil is watching and waiting for you to fail.
Whatever form the obstacle may take, in every one’s life, in every profession, in every location and with all genders, obstacles are never desired but they come, never wished for, never prayed for, never produce anything good and will always be a hindrance to expected results in every venture despite efforts. There is nothing as dangerous, and time wasting as allowing your self-generated obstacles to remain while struggling to overcome the ones that are external.
Before you will ever succeed in overcoming external obstacles, you will first have to overcome that which is internal. These things will hinder you from overcoming any obstacle: uncontrolled and frequent hatred, anger, un-forgiveness, malice, grudges, and any other self-indulged evil practices you know, accept and hide. “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye, when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite first get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye” Matthew 7:3-5. “Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one” Matthew 6:11-13
Your obstacles are as a result of your dreams, purpose and desires. The sooner you truly defined your dreams, your purpose and your desires the sooner you will be able to identify the obstacles and also address them adequately. Though obstacles are great hindrances, they are not insurmountable, they may be very huge but their foundation is shallow and is made weak by faith in the name and blood of Jesus Christ for you to overcome.
