January 17, 2015 - OVERCOMING DIFFICULTY


Christianity doesn’t mean we should shy away from reality. A songwriter says, “No matter what I face, when trouble come my way.” Most times we replace the trouble by success using faith, but we fail to realize that Jesus never promised a difficulty-free journey, He only promised us a victorious outcome (John 16:33), which is why when faced with difficulties and tough challenges, be strong knowing that the best time a candle shines is when there is darkness.

When faced with whatever kind of difficulty, the first thing you need to do is to bring God into that situation through prayer. 2 Chron 7:14 says, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” If you will pray, God will perform because He is our present Help in the times of trouble.

However, if you refuse to pray, you will end up a prey. Hezekiah was marked for death but when he prayed, God gave him fifteen more years as bonus to live. Remember a closed mouth is a closed destiny.

Pray so you won’t pray.
