It is a stepping stone!

“And it shall turn to you for a testimony.” Luke 21:13 KJV

In this year of God’s power, I want to challenge you to change how you see opposition, delays, and attacks. What looks like a setback is often a setup. What seems like a stumbling block is actually a stepping stone designed to move you closer to your destiny. When you are conscious of God’s presence, nothing the enemy throws at you can destroy you; everything becomes material for your testimony. Jesus made it clear that trials can become platforms for God’s glory (Luke 21:13; John 9:2–3). Joseph’s life illustrates this powerfully. His dreams provoked jealousy, betrayal, and rejection, but every attack pushed him closer to the fulfilment of God’s purpose (Acts 7:9–10). Even the prison that Potiphar sent him to was strategically closer to the throne. His gift got an opportunity for palace awareness right in the prison.

This year, refuse to interpret adversity as defeat. Adjust your perspective, and you will discover that resistance is refining you, opposition is positioning you, and challenges are shaping you for manifestation. Pray, study God’s Word, make faith declarations, and strengthen your mind and spirit. As you grow in spiritual and mental resilience, what was meant to stop you will become a pathway to progress.

Prophetic Word: I declare that every attack against you turns into a stepping stone for your elevation. What was meant for harm is working for your advancement. Your trials are becoming testimonies, your opposition is becoming promotion, and your struggles are producing glory. You are rising, advancing, and manifesting God’s purpose for your life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: My Father and my God, thank You that every challenge in my life can become a testimony. Open my eyes to see stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks. Strengthen my spirit, renew my mind, and help me grow through every opposition. I declare that all things are working together for my good, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
