MESSAGE
While
man does not have a way of getting solutions to his problems, God has
uncountable ways to solving universal problems. This is because He is
the Almighty. Another thing about the ways of God is that it does not
appeal to the natural man. This truth is what Paul, an Apostle of Jesus
Christ tried to convey to us in our memory verse for today when he
wrote:
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28
Paul
wrote to encourage believers in by telling them that the hardship he
was going through was for the advancement of the gospel. It takes the
eyes of faith to come to terms with this type of truth. In chains, he
was moved from one place to another as a criminal under trial. However,
at every given time and opportunity to speak, he preached the gospel. In
Acts 24 & 25 alone, he addressed three different very important
personalities namely Felix, Festus, King Agrippa. It was King Agrippa
that said to Paul:
"Almost thou persuade me to be a Christian"
Acts 26:28
Then Paul said:
"I
would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day,
were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds."
Acts 26:28
This
is a level all children of God must reach if we will enjoy our walk
with God. This same truth helped Joseph from misbehaving when he came to
power in Egypt and his brothers were afraid of revenge. He told them:
"….
Fear not: for I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil
against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this
day, to save much people alive."
Genesis 50:19-20
In
all these, we must learn that challenges will not be a hindrance if God
is with us, rather, it will be a stepping stone to our destiny. Some
children of God attributed their failure to certain hindrances. This
should not be, because the Captain of our battle never lost any battle.
As a matter of fact, we are more than conquerors and all things will
always work together for our good if we believe. I pray for someone
using this devotional; all the seemingly hindering situations on your
way to success will become a stepping stone to your breakthrough in
Jesus' name.
Prayer Point
Father, I command all hindering mountains in my life to give way today in Jesus' name.
