Dealing with life’s challenges 14

 “And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.” John 9:1-3  KJV

Some challenges come so that God's glory may be revealed through your life. What looks like a problem today is the platform God uses to show His power and give you a testimony tomorrow. When the disciples saw the man who was born blind, they wanted to know who had sinned. But Jesus answered that neither the man nor his parents had sinned, “but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.” His blindness became the opportunity for a divine encounter, and through his healing, God was glorified.

In the same way, Saul went out looking for his father’s lost asses, not knowing that God was leading him to Samuel for his anointing as king (1 Samuel 9:3, 15-16). What looked like a loss became the pathway to destiny. God had already told Samuel that Saul was coming, but Saul did not know that his search was divinely arranged. Beloved, do not conclude too quickly about your present challenge. Some delays, losses, and difficulties may be instruments in the hand of God to move you into purpose. As a child of God, all things are working together for your good (Romans 8:28). Turn to God, trust Him, and allow Him to glorify Himself in your life.

Prophetic Word: I declare that God will glorify Himself in your situation in Jesus’ name. What looks like a challenge shall become a testimony. Every loss shall lead you into divine purpose. The works of God shall be made manifest in your life. In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Oh God, glorify Yourself in my life. Let every challenge before me work together for my good. I recover all. Turn my pain into purpose, and my trial into testimony. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
