OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

September 9, 2013

Obstacles are barriers or hindrances that stop from moving forward. God gave the children of Israel a wonderful promise – the promise land, but there were several obstacles. They went through the wilderness, they faced natural obstacles - red sea, river Jordan, hunger, thirst, then there were physical obstacles – enemies, giants living in Canaan etc.

We all face different kind of obstacles during our journey to destiny fulfillment. We sometimes find it easier quitting than going on. The children of Israel saw the size of their obstacles – no water, red sea in front, Egyptians at the back, and because of these, they grumbled. They even told Moses, why didn’t you just leave us alone in Egypt that you have now brought us to this place to kill us.

But, one thing that I have come to discover is that no matter the obstacle in front of us, we have been equipped to overcome. John 16:33 says, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” We have a very big God who is too big to fail; too strong to be defeated and too powerful to be ridiculed. 1 Jhn 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.”

I don’t care what your own barrier is, what I have come to tell you this day is that the same God that fell the wall of Jericho and parted the red sea is not dead, as such, your barrier is too small for Him to remove. As big and terrible the obstacle in front of the children of Israel was, God showed Himself bigger. Every obstacle on your way to the next level shall be removed in Jesus Name. Amen!
