Dealing with life’s challenges 1

Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.” Job 14:1

I declare your victory in all challenges of life in Jesus name.

Life’s challenges are blind, they don’t recognize race, sex, color, age, height, profession, riches or faith they come to all. Sometimes they come like a mountain to be succumbed or like a difficult tormenting sickness. A man of God said he was surprised when they brought to him a 12-year-old child having high blood pressure problems. At other times they come as relationship issues or financial issues. It may also have to do with growth and increase. Some are multifaceted and life-threatening. Some are generational and inherited. Some are self-caused while others are imposed. Job said ‘man that is born of a woman is of few days and the days are full of trouble’. The good news is that you can maintain peace and make progress despite life’s challenges! You can overcome all life challenges!!

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4
“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.” 1 John 4:4

Now, as a Christian, maybe someone has told you that once you are born again all challenges are over. I am sorry you have been lied to. However, being a Christian gives you the opportunity to access all that you need to stay on top and handle your challenges. Jesus put it this way in Mathew 7:25, ‘be wise, build your house on the rock. If you do, you will be standing no matter the challenges’. Apart from this, we have an unfailing promise from our Master in John 16:33, “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.”

I see you celebrating soon in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: I rebuke the spirit of discouragement in my life in Jesus name.
