For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
John 6:38
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.
Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.
In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."
While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.
Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it difficult for anyone that would dare, and the interesting thing is that God will allowed it, but for a purpose, to build you up to full maturity. (2 Timothy 2:5)
In Psalm 66:12 the scripture says,
"Thou (God) hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou (God) broughtest us out into a wealthy place."
In other to get to your true wealthy place, there are some hurdles you must scale through. Men will ride over your head, you'd go through fire and water; guess what? God will bring you out as gold tried in fire [furnace of afflictions] meet for the Master's use, and bring you into the wealthy place.
Jesus came to show us the example. "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame,..." Hebrews 12:2.
Do not let modernization mess up your destiny. This life is a passage, not a destination.
God bless you!
Jesus is Lord!
Mark Enahoro
