MAKING IT THROUGH ROUGH TIMES

From The Desk of Pastor Tunde Daniels

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

Saturday 15th September 2018


TOPIC: MAKING IT THROUGH ROUGH TIMES

TEXT:    "The testing of your faith produces endurance"(James 1:3NAS).

Endurance means 'staying the course'. But endurance is only a mere word until you have to deal certain rough seasons in your like like going through strife-torn marriage, the long road back from bankruptcy, divorce or illness, the rebuilding of your life, or the required preparation for success in any field.

It takes faith and commitment to keep going when friends fail you, discouragement whispers ' give up' and doubts say 'it can't be done'. That's when you need to listen to another voice that tells you to keep going regardless of the challenges. Strong faith in God is the backbone of endurance. It becomes your anchor in the storm, your compass in times of confusion, and the head of steam that gets you up the next hill. Remember, God knows when to discontinue a trial in your life because it purpose has been fulfilled. And He gave us two great promises:
1) His comforting presence. (Isaiah 43:2-5).
2) The assurance that He won't permit more pressure than we can handle (1Corinthians 10:13).
But there is another reason, others are watching! Apostle Paul writes, 'People are watching us as we stay at our post... Working hard, working late, without eating, with pure heart, clear head, steady hand; in gentleness, holiness and honest love; when we are telling the truth...when God's showing His power; when we are doing our best setting things right; when we are praised and when we are blamed; slandered and honored; true to our word, though distrusted; ignored by the world, but recognized by God...immersed in tears yet always filled with deep joy; living on handouts, yet enriching many; having nothing, having it all (1Corithians6:1-10 TM). That's how to triumph through endurance.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE FOR TODAY

"Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit."

-- Conrad Hilton

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY
                                                                            
The Sovereign Lord says today that your gift
is making room for you.
There are times that all your best efforts
may seem futile. Your greatest
experience of miracles will be in the small
things. Stand up today before your giant and
sling the stones of your faith at Goliath’s
head. I will take your feeble efforts and add
God-speed acceleration to them. I will take
the little that you make available to Me and
bring about a great outcome…..
