HOW IS YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHALLENGES?

2Corinthians 12 vs 9-10 reads..." 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Gone are those days when I thought that as a child of God, things should always be smooth for me as in like, all things should just magically run smoothly.The reality is, it is not like that and it actually don't and should not matter at all. Let me give an example: Say you have faith, to be precise I'll say a measure of faith (all of us have), you pray in the Name of Jesus, you believe you have received as you know the Word says you shall receive, you talk the Word, declare..then whatever you prayed about just never seems to happen or come to pass. Child of God, what do you do??? Sometimes it seems like it gets worse.What do you do?....... Have you given up on God (His power that is at work in you) because you didn't get what you wanted? God seemed to be far when you really really needed Him closer? Or you ask questions like "when will God hear me", " how could God let this happen to me"?? etc. Why do we always cry and feel so helpless and defeated when bad things happen to us. Why do we always blame God for everything bad that happens.? I think I may know why; BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW THE WORD OF GOD.

Look,always know that you are divinely enabled (by the Holy Spirit in you) to do everything,to stay on top of things, to be a victor always. Now that I know (Glory To God)that the Lord has said " ..My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness", heheheh aaaai!!!. If He is my Lord/Master, He is in control. He has given us the Holy Spirit to dwell in us , we have His nature in us.. Heheh, aaaaiii, I"ll never worry, complain, cry helplessly etc no matter what I go through, because I believe His Word, His strength is made perfect in my weakness. He is able to do exceedingly above that which I ask or imagine (Ephe 3:20); He perfects everything that concerns me Psalm 138:8. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want (Psalm 23:1); and many more scripture that I think of and remember who I am. See how wonderful The Word is, The Word is the solution for everything. Since i got to know this, my attitude towards challenges has completely changed.I actually don't mind what happens because I know He is in control always. I now can speak like Paul the Apostle and say " I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Heeyaa.. This is IT mehhnn, This is IT.

Know The Word, Believe The Word, Do The Word, talk The Word ALWAYS. Challenges Will be 'bread' for you. You'll never cry because you are troubled, because you know that His strength is made perfect in your weakness. God Bless you! Please don't miss church!
