1CORINTHIANS 10:13. 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 ye may be able to bear it.
PSALMS 119:143. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me:yet thy commandments are my delight.
*Do not run away from challenges of Life, REASON where ever you run to, one (circumstance) is waiting for you there. Stop running. Stay confront it. It is common.
*In Genesis 1:1-3. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void:and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, let there be light: and there was light.
*The challenges of Life do not have respect for any body. It does not matter who you are, big or small it comes to all; whether you like it or not. Are you aware that rich people face circumstances? The poor also face circumstances but differently.
*There are three categories of circumstances, situations, challenges that come to us. [1] you have cause the problem (challenge) by yourself. [2] the devil himself is attacking you because of what you stand for. [3] you have disobeyed God, you have decided to walk away from His will. Jonah ran away from God, he punished himself. Saul’s decision to disobeyed God created punishment which destroyed Him and his family. Same with Eli.
*JOB 5:6-7. Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground: Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
*Yours may be a health challenge that requires money to solve, another might be rent. Your rent has expired. The land lord may not be the one troubling you; the care taker because he is broke, he’s on your neck, bros don’t be afraid to face him, tell him or her in a polite manner to give you more time.
*Then have faith in God to help you with favor for money. You have five children, all of them in different schools. You will have sleepless nights. Thank God you have them, but you see, did you plan to have five children? Yes, you did but did you look ahead? Ask God for wisdom to successfully handle them with ease. There is no challenge, situation, problem, circumstances that is not common.
“GOD SAID IT IS COMMON”
*You are planning to travel but you don’t have money, it is common. Your wife is pregnant there is no money to register in the hospital, it is common. Your car breaks down you don’t have money to fix it, it is common.
*You have finished school (university) no work it is common. You are planning to sell your child. It is common. The doctor said you have two days to live, it is common, still have faith in God to heal you.
*Things are so bad it looks like you are frutrated, that is not the end. It is common. You have received a letter from your employer informing you that your services are no longer required, your appointment is hereby terminated. The moment you received the letter, your head becomes big while you are still standing with the letter in your hand, thank God for life, it is common.
*Your marriage has just come to an end, either the man is taking a walk (like my wife will say) or the woman has decided to walk away because the condition is no longer favourable to both of you; relax, it is common. You are about to withdraw from your university education because of hardship due to lack of money to keep you in school, it is common.
*You have been married for the passed five years no children yet, watch the words of your mouth, it is common.You don’t have money, reason no business, no work, you are depending on your friends, (I have been there myself) it is common.You were engaged to someone planning to get marry but right now it is over, it is common.
*Relax the real person is walking down the road to meet with you.You were at the bus stop and boarded a bus to your destination only to discover that your phone is missing. It is common. It is a lesson to teach you not to be careless. As you are driving back to your house after work or business, suddenly some ‘good’ guys stop you and pointed guns at you and ordered you out of your own car and drove the car away, thank God you are still a live, it is common.
*Your wife just delivered a sweet little looking angel baby and the whole atmosphere is filled with joy and happiness but suddenly the baby died, it is common. Because of the hard condition in the country today, government is so interested in the well being of the citizens, you were so rich because money and more money was coming in. Life was sweet, but suddenly things change in such way that it affected you. You have thought of what to do, probably started selling your jewellery, shoes, hand bags, so that you may live, it is common.
“GOD WHO HELPED ME TO CHANGE MY OWN STORY WILL HELP YOU TO CHANGE YOUR STORY. SAY AMEN TO THIS”.
*David said trouble and pain had taken over him but he refused to bow. Bishop you can’t stop people from leaving the church, reason – man is still a free moral agent, his will is intact. So, stop crying. It is common, it is common.
*THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, IF PEOPLE LEFT HIM, I SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY WILL LEAVE ME, it is common.
*You started a building Project, suddenly you stopped for lack of money,it is common. Stop feeling frutrated, relax.
*PSALMS 146:5-6. HAPPY IS HE THAT HATH THE GOD OF JACOB FOR his HELP, whose HOPE IS IN THE LORD HIS GOD: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
*please permit me to alert you that worry is not the answer, rather apply the principle of calmness.Think on what to do to create solution.
*Satan had plans to destroy JOB but Job was not aware of it. But destruction came suddenly on him. Satan destroyed everything he had. But for God, satan would have killed him. (he had a good wife who gave him good advise).
*After he lost everything, he had wisdom not to blame any body or talk carelessly by condemning God but rather he was able to controlled his emotion. He was calm in the spirit by way of refusing to allow the situation put words in his mouth.This is also common.
*The lion came. If David had ran away from the lion, it would have come after him to kill Him. But he stood face to face with the lion and killed it. The same thing happened, the bear came, he went after it and killed it. When he saw Goliath, he laughed and said within himself, I will deal with you the same way I dealt with those animals.
*David confronted those challenges with the help of the anointing of the Holy Spirit one after the other to become a champion. This also is common. SO IRRESPECTIVE OF YOUR SITUATION, CIRCUMSTANCES, PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW, STILL HAVE FAITH IN HIM, BELIEVE ALSO IN HIM.
*No matter how dark your cloud is right now(meaning no matter how big your challenge is) still keep your faith in Him for your change is on the way. Smile, have faith in Him, believe also in Him.
*PSALMS 23:4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they Comfort me.
*Your prayer of faith prayed according to the written word of God, with the help of the Holy Spirit you will not be put to shame. God is your present help in the time of trouble. WHATEVER you are facing in life naturally is temporal. It is for a moment.
*Yea though you are confronted with situations, circumstances, remember to lift your head toward Heaven and say Lord I know deep in my heart that my REDEEMER IS ON THE THRONE.
*HEBREWS 4:16. LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN THE TIME OF NEED. GOD is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted above your strength, He knows the level of your strength.
