Blessed be
God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the
God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be
able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we
ourselves are comforted of God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
The
Christian life is a journey, and in that journey, there're challenges. These
challenges are springboards for your promotion. Some have thought the moment
they became Christians, they would no longer face challenges. Bewildered, they
ask, "Why do I still have troubles? Why do I still have problems with my
health? Why is it that when I pray, the things I pray about don't happen
instantly?" These and other related questions puzzle their minds from time
to time.
If there're
no challenges to your faith, your faith can't be strengthened. Life isn't about
how smooth things are; you aren't promoted without the tests of life; that's
what challenges are. God has to let you face certain things so you can exercise
your faith and win; and when you do, you're decorated for more. Never buckle in
the day of trouble. Don't cry. Instead, eyeball the devil and say, "Devil,
no matter what you do, I'm more than a conqueror. Greater is He that is in me,
than he that's in the world."
Learn from
the Apostle Paul who despite the tribulations, trials, and temptations he
faced, didn't buckle under the pressure. Rather, he latched on to the
consolation of the Holy Spirit, while consoling and comforting others who were
in trouble with the same comfort he had received. That same comfort of the Holy
Spirit is available for you today. Therefore, no matter the challenges you
face, they're bread for you. Stand tall and refuse to fear. Keep the Word of
victory in your mouth!
You have the
comfort of the Word, and the consolation of the Holy Spirit, to go on and win!
No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper. 1 John 4:4 says, "Ye are of
God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in
you, than he that is in the world."
PRAYER: Heavenly
Father, I thank you for the strength, comfort, boldness and faith that your
Word ministers to my spirit. I'm confident to withstand and subdue the
challenges that may come my way, conscious that they're the springboards for my
promotion, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
