OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.

1 John 5:4
Challenges are a part of life. They are tests of life and we all go through them. Challenges don’t defeat a man but a man’s wrong response to challenges can defeat him. Challenges are not there to destroy us, but to make us stronger, wiser and better.
This world presents us challenges, however when you are born again you overcome the world. As believers we overcome by our faith. Faith is our victory.
We are not moved by what we see, hear or feel but we are moved by the Word of God. We walk by faith and not by sight. In the midst of challenges, we stand on the Word of God and believe His promises.
Our faith comes before our possession. We believe it first and then we will see it. No mountain or giant can stand before faith. By faith we can move mountains and by faith we can slay giants. Faith pleases God. Faith gets God on the scene.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6
Your faith will put you over. It will be done to you according to your faith. What do you believe? Nothing is impossible if you would believe. By faith we can achieve the humanly impossible. Faith is our victory over adverse circumstances. Challenges come and go, but the man or woman of faith remains standing on the promises of God.
That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:12
Thought of the day: My faith is my victory over adverse circumstances.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me faith to overcome the world. Thank You for making me an overcomer, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD “And like the hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The word of God will purify you and break your stony heart. The word of God will make you holy and soften your heart. If you will give yourself to the word it will change you. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. John 17:17 The word is powerful nothing compares to the word. It will transform you and reshape your destiny. The word will make your life beautiful. If you will stick to the word it will make you an absolute success. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 The Bible says that you are born of the word and that makes you an absolute victor in life. You can never be defeated, you can never be disadvantaged in life; you can live your life in perpet...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon for...

PRAY FOR LEADERS IN YOUR COUNTRY

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 2 Timothy 2:1-2 As a child of God it is your responsibility to pray for leaders in your country. Leaders in your country are appointed by God and you need to pray for them not criticize them. Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as those who are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of those who do good. 1 Peter 2:13 God can speak to their hearts to favor the church. God can speak to their hearts to make decisions that are in line with His Word. That is where your prayers come in; your prayers are needed for God to work in your leaders’ hearts. The king’s heart is in the hands of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherev...
