Facing Challenges!

“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” Hebrews 10:36

The work of changing people wholly belongs to the Holy Spirit. You cannot manifest transformation without the handwriting of the Holy Spirit boldly written on your spiritual resume. As a gentle reminder, always be flexible enough to depend on Him for the changes you desire.

Every one of us will at a time or the other face challenges. But when it comes, be patient to realize that God is about to take you to a higher level, rejoice and give thanks, then, REFUSE to GIVE UP. In other words, be patient and persistent. You can be sure that you’re maturing when you begin to see the hand of God through different circumstances in life. Luke 21:19 encourages us that “By your patient endurance, you will gain your souls.”

Don’t try to avoid or escape the challenges in life; when you do, you delay your growth and end up with the worse kind of pain. Endure; grasp the eternal consequences of your character development today. Instead of questioning God, pray that He uses the situation to make you more like Himself. When you’re facing trouble or difficulties, it is not the time to ask unnecessary questions like “why me,” instead, ask God, “What do you want me to learn? “or “what do you need me to do?”

Our God indeed hears us, and He will undoubtedly speak to you about it. Just be patient and attentive. Trust God and keep on with the right things, and you will overcome those challenges and get through it. Remember, God has a plan for you, and no other method of the devil can ramify the plan of God in your life. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Prayer:
1. May I never run out of patience with You, Lord. Mold me, Make me in Jesus’ name.
2. Psalm 37:23 – Oh, Lord, established my steps to walk in the way that pleases you in Jesus’ name. Amen.
