Dealing with life’s challenges 3

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” Mathew 7:24-27.

It is you that determine the outcome and not the magnitude of the challenges.

In our text today, both houses were attacked by the storm. One was standing after the storm while the other crumbled. The outcome was determined by the house and not the storm. Whenever the challenges of life come, you will have to focus on yourself and not the challenge. If your house is in order, you will successfully handle the challenge. Build your house on the rock!

Now in building yourself, what you are hearing is important. And equally important is what you are doing. Hear the word of God and do it, then the magnitude of the challenges you are going through will not matter. You will come out of it victoriously. Choose who you listen to. Listen to people who will encourage you, declare the word of God to you, pray for you and support you.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

I see restoration in every area of your life in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Let the word of the Lord come to me in Jesus name.
