Today's Focus: GOD reveals Himself to YOU through the CHALLENGES you go through in Christ in this World!
Many times a lots of Christians wonder why God would allow some certain things to happen to them or other believers. They are so surprised at the things they go through or other believers go through in Christ in this World, that they want to GIVE UP on God or GIVE IN to things outside Christ. True!
But, I am sent today to inform and encourage you that GOD, our loving and caring heavenly FATHER, purposefully permits that the Holy Spirit leads us through various CHALLENGES we face in Christ in this World to REVEAL Himself personally to us as:
1. Our one and only true SAVIOUR in this World. (1 Timothy 4:10; 1 Timothy 1:1).
2. Our one and only true LORD and KING in this World. (Isaiah 9:6,7; Psalm 10:15,16).
3. Our one and only true JUDGE and JUSTIFIER in this World. (Luke 18:1-8; Romans 8:31).
4. Our one and only true PROVIDER in this World. (Philippians 4:19).
5. Our one and only true PRESERVER and Our PROTECTOR in this World. (Psalm 91).
6. Our one and only true FRIEND in this World. (John 15:14-16; Proverbs 18:24).
7. Our one and only true DELIVERER in this World. (Romans 4:24,25; Psalm 18:1-3).
8. Our one and only true GUIDANCE and LEADER in this World. (John 16:13-15; Romans 8:14).
9. Our one and only true HEALER in this World. (1 Peter 2:24; James 5:14-16).
10. Our one and only true HELPER in this World. (Hebrews 13:6; Romans 8:26,27).
11. Our one and only true PROMOTER in this World. (Psalm 75:6,7).
12. Our one and only true LIFTER in this World. (Psalm 3:3).
13. Our one and only true TEACHER in this World. (1 John 2:27).
14. Our one and only true ENLIGHTENER in this World. (Ephesians 1:15-23).
15. Our one and only true HOPE. (Colossians 1:27; Hebrews 6:12-20).
16. Our one and only true PEACE in this World. (Ephesians 2:13,14; Philippians 4:6-9).
17. Our one and only true COMFORTER in this World. (John 14:16-18).
18. Our one and only true STRENGTHENER in this World. (Philippians 4:13).
19. Our one and only true INSPIRATION in this World. (Job 32:8).
20. Our one and only true REVEALER of truths and secrets in this World. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
21. Our one and only true LIFE and LIGHT in this World. (John 3:15-21; John 1:1-14)
And He is much more....Halleluyah! (Ephesians 3:20).
So, the truth to be told, our CHALLENGES in Christ are purposefully meant to REVEAL to us, one or more of the above gracious dimensions of our all powerful GOD in Christ by the Holy Spirit. True! (Hebrews 4:14-16).
Therefore, be OPEN to learn, unlearn and relearn about your GOD and FATHER during your CHALLENGES in Christ in this World. Yes, be open, hopeful and positive during your CHALLENGE seasons, which are purposefully and gloriously working together for your GOOD. Yes, for your good because our GOD is GOOD and FAITHFUL! Halleluyah! (Romans 8:28-39; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11; Ecclesiastes 7:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).
Know and note therefore, your CHALLENGES are not meant to unnecessarily delay or deny you God's PROMISES in Christ in this World, but to make you knowledgeable about your GOD in Christ and to be practically COMPLETE (perfect, established and strong) in Him in Christ in this World. True! (1 Peter 5:7-10; James 1:2-8; Colossians 2:8-10).
That is why God will not allow you to go through CHALLENGES in Christ in this World that exceeds your spiritual and physical strengths or what you cannot bear par time. He will always make sure a way of ESCAPE is available for you, as well as SETTLE you at the end, as long as you manage your challenge par time by FAITH based on His Word and leading of His Holy Spirit that is in you. True! (1 Peter 5:7-10; Hebrews 11).
The Bible reveals assuredly thus:
Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. There had NO temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will NOT suffer you to be tempted ABOVE that you are able; but will with the temptation also MAKE a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:12,13).
It is a divine MYSTERY (secret) that the more we encounter SUFFERINGS or challenges in Christ in this World, the more we KNOW Him and the more we experience His MERCY, GRACE and POWER freely. True! (Philippians 3:10,11; 2 Corinthians 12:5-10).
However, we must check spiritually with the Holy Spirit to identify demonic CHALLENGES that are not purposefully ordained by God for us in Christ and resist them forcefully by the Word (vis-à-vis Wisdom) and Power of God in Christ in us. Yes, forcefully! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Matthew 11:12; 1 Peter 5:7-9; James 1:2-8).
This was Apostle Paul's approach toward his own CHALLENGES in Christ in this World and we can humbly LEARN from it to get it RIGHT with our WALK (relationship) and WORK (responsibility) with God in Christ in this World knowing that ALL will be well at the end of every CHALLENGE allowed into our life in Christ in this World:
And lest I should be EXALTED (became proud) above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was GIVEN to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to BUFFET (discipline) me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I BESOUGHT the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, My GRACE is SUFFICIENT for you: for my STRENGTH is made perfect in WEAKNESS. Most gladly therefore will I rather GLORY (boast) in my infirmities, that the POWER of CHRIST may rest upon me. Therefore I TAKE pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am WEAK, then am I STRONG. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24).
Ponder on the above scriptural reference!
Today's Focus from Scripture:
That I may KNOW Him, and the POWER of his resurrection, and the FELLOWSHIP of His SUFFERINGS, being made conformable unto His death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. (Philippians 3:10,11; 2 Corinthians 4:8-18).
Take note, take heed!
Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.
God bless you.
