In life there are times we find ourselves in places and situation of
discomfort, pain, disappointment and what I call storm. In times like
these, its like its all over for us. We search and call for help but it
never come. We have sleepless nights, we cry and wish our breath should
stop. We have more questions than answers concerning our situation. The
truth is, as long as you are human, you would pass through this season
and time. Storms are part of life, we all go through it. It's not for some selected few. If you've not been in a storm, brace up, it would come.
Job a man, who loved and feared God passed through his fair share of
storm and became better off afterwards. Storms is a phase in life but
the ignorant die of it. My goal is to make you see, its a phase and that
you would come out stronger after each storm. The scripture puts it
this way "count it all Joy when you fall into divers temptations;
knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let
patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing"
Look at the prize(look
at the bright side of life).
Don't for one reason take your eyes off
the prize (the future you desire)...Hebrew 12, talking about Jesus, puts
it this way, "who for the joy that was set before Him, despised the
shame, endured the pain and hurt". If you for a minute remove your mind
from the prize ahead, you would lose heart and when u lose heart, you
bow or surrender to the storm. The most important thing to do that
brings peace, strength and grace to face the storm when it comes is to
focus your attention on Jesus. Look on to Jesus, who was like you,
tempted in many ways and is seated at the right hand of God. Learn how
He faced the storms. There are times He spoke to the storms, you too can
speak what you want out of the storm...like Jesus speak peace over
every storm that you face and will face. "peace is not an absence of
storm or turmoil but the grace of God that brings calmness to our spirit
in spite of what we are facing"
You have what it takes to survive
every storm because God has given us all things that pertains to life
and godliness. If you don't know what to say when you are in a fix or in
a storm, read the bible in it are treasures and words to face every
storm. You are not permitted to bow to any storm, you have been made to
rise above every storm. Say to yourself " I will rise above every storm
of life and anything the devil will bring my way because my eyes is
fixed on Jesus"
Point to note: when you focus on the storm life
throws at you, the storm will be magnified thereby making you succumb to
it but when you focus on Jesus who is the author and finisher of our
faith, and speak His words over the storm, the storms will
disappear....God bless you
