FACE THAT CHALLENGE 2
By Pst Dr JUDE IMHANDOJIEMU
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Ephesians 3:20
In continuation of our discussion on facing the challenge of life, I want you to know that whatever you are passing through now is a stepping stone to your elevation and upliftment.
Nothing good comes so easy.
You have to fight to possess.
The land of Canaan was occupied by the Peruzites, the Jebusites, the Hittites, and all the ‘sites’ available, yet the Israelites were asked by God to go and possess it.
It means, they must fight to possess.
And when they fought, they actually possessed. In life, you have to fight to possess.
When Moses died, Joshua did not believe that he has the capacity to lead Israel to the promised land, God said to him, “be strong and courageous” (Joshua 1:6-7).
It is challenges of life that make us to know the capacity of a person.
He who leaves to fight today, leaves to fight another day. You cannot leave the battles of life for your next generation, you must fight it now.
Your children have their own battles to fight, therefore, reduce the battles for them so that they can concentrate and choose the battles they want to fight.
The battle you refuse to fight today, will still be fought by your children tomorrow. It is better you fight it now. No retreat and no surrender.
Jesus says, “all things are possible to him that believes” (Mark 9:23). If you say to yourself “I am able”, then all of heaven and earth will back you up.
God will not do for you what you can do for yourself. Even when you are passing through some challenges, say “it is well with me”.
The Bible says “Let the weak say I am strong, and let the poor say I am rich”. Just believe in yourself and allow God work with you and through you.
Beloved, God works by the power inside of us.
Be strong and courageous and gather enough strength and develop enough capacity.
Face that challenges, challenges won’t kill you.
The Bible says “If you faint in the days of adversity, your strength is small” (Proverbs 24:10).
It is when the wind is heavy that the kit flies high.
The prowess of a lion is known when it meets a dangerous animal in the jungle.
Be wise....
CONFESSION: I receive grace to defeat my challenges in Jesus name.

1 Tim 6:12
May God empower you will great Grace to overcome in Jesus Christ name.
