THE DAYS OF ADVERSITY 1

THE DAYS OF ADVERSITY 1
I start quoting Roy T. Bennett: “Challenges and adversity are meant to help you know who you are. Storms hit your weakness but unlock your true strength”. Adversity is the state of adverse condition. It is a state of misfortune. It is unfavorable. The days of adversity either breaks or make a man. Many have been conquered in their days of adversity. Many have been knocked down in their days of adversity. The days of adversity shows how strong you are. It shows how resilience you are. Resilience is the mental ability to recover quickly from depression, misfortune, challenges, storms, difficulties, adversity. Life is no bed of roses. Life is full of challenges, difficulties, adversity, storms, depression, and oppression. Anyone expecting a life full of pleasant situations, untroubled existence is deceiving himself. But we are rest assured and have peace because CHRIST said in John 16 vs. 33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer I have overcome the world. We are comforted by CHRIST in tribulations, adversity, storms, challenges, depression if only we hope and depend on him. 2 Corinthians 1 vs. 4: Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of GOD.

              Ecclesiastes 7 vs. 14: In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider GOD also hath set the one over against the other to the end that men should find nothing after him. This verse shows nothing is certain in life. Whether you are good or bad the days of adversity await you; but be rest assured you can be more than a conqueror through JESUS CHRIST our LORD because, He overcame the world. Facing the days of adversity; with GOD by your side make you unmovable and more than a conqueror; facing the days of adversity without GOD by your side make the adversity move you and defeat you. The Psalmist says in Psalms 16 vs. 8: I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. David was greatly distressed when the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved; when the Amalekites took their people captive. He took himself up and encouraged himself in the LORD his GOD that’s Resilience. He recovered quickly from the distress, cry, depression and enquired from the LORD. 1 Samuel 30 vs. 8: And David enquired at the LORD, saying, shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? Shall I overtake them? And he answered him, pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. That situation, adversity, challenges of yours putting you off and disturbing you won’t let go easily, unless you put yourself together, encourage yourself in the LORD and enquire from GOD just like David did. It is well with us…..

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
