Understanding God’s Purpose in Your Challenges

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Introduction

I hope that I can put this in fewer words; let’s see how far I can go. Okay, so it goes like this; people often wonder why God permits certain situations or circumstances to come their way. My answer is simple: You have the answer(s). God has equipped you with every tool you need for victory.

You Stand in for God

You are God’s representative on earth. Millions of people are caught up in the enemy’s web and are scrambling for answers. They do not know what to do. To help them, sometimes God allows the same or a similar situation to come your way.
God knows that you can solve it because you stay connected to Him. He knows you will do what He tells you to do with the tools he already placed in you.
The main purpose is that the steps to your victory will become a template for others to follow. This is among the reasons I would encourage you to give testimony about the Lord’s goodness.

The scripture says that ‘Because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted, He is able to help and provide immediate assistance to those who are being tempted and exposed to suffering.’ (Hebrews 2:18, AMP)

Reflection

  • Think about a challenge you faced. Consider how this challenge empowered you.
  • Reflect on how it enabled you to help those caught up in a similar situation.

Conclusion

Whatever challenge or temptation the enemy throws at you this year, know that God will allow it for a purpose. You’re equipped to solve it. After you come out, know that other people are waiting to hear how you did it. Sing of the Lord’s Goodness.

Embracing God’s Love: You Are Enough as You Are

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

What did you do to deserve Christ’s death on the cross? I can guess right, and it’s nothing. The scripture says that ‘But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. ‘ (Romans 5:8, NLT)

Jesus Christ isn’t looking for your perfect self to love; He loves you just as you are. He wants to transform your messy self into a rich message that you can share. Don’t feel inadequate to come. The Apostle Paul said that this love is too great to understand fully. (Ephesians 3:19)

I have always told people this. The best time to take the car to a washing bay is when it’s dirty. Thus if you are caught up in sin and/or addiction, the right to be is in His love. Come Home.

Be encouraged to live in this reality that His love for you is too great to understand fully. And with His love, He is ready to freely give you all things if only you will ask.

God Bless You.

Beware of The Liar’s Whisper

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

(1 Peter 5:8, NLT)

There is no doubt that Satan is smart. After all he existed before you were born and he understands this world better. That is why I believe that no human in his natural capabilities can defeat him. Don’t be deceived when someone tells you that Satan is no match for you when you have no relationship with Jesus Christ.

The mastermind of all deceits is Satan. He knows the scriptures too so he is able to twist the truth for his purpose. Nothing on this earth is new to him but he is a liar. Jesus said ‘He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. ‘ (John 8:44,NLT)

Satan knows how to whisper into your ears, right down into your soul. He waits for an opportunity to present his facts about the situation, add all dots to make it appear real. He can make you doubt your partner without a cause, and also make you hate your neighbor for nothing. Has it ever happened to you when every action of your neighbor had a meaning and fits perfectly into certain narrative you had perceived. Then you later approached him/her only to realize that he/she meant no harm and was even surprised that you would think that way.

The Liar’s whisper is real and prevalent. He would whisper about your health, work, business, finances, family and relationship with people, church, etc. He is probably whispering into your ears now. Beware! Don’t believe his lies “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:20, NLT)

‘Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. ‘

(1 Peter 5:8, NLT)
