Purple Ark Ministries © Copyright Reserved February 1st 2009 Voices in India by Tina "Have an attitude of a Victor and not a Victim" Glory to God.
I would like to ask each one of you who is reading this, Are you facing any difficulty, may be a challenge or may be even a dead situation in your life? How are you handling it? What is the kind of attitude you have adopted at times like this?
Are you out there saying? It's done, I can't take it anymore. It only happens to me. Let me just give up. If this is you today let me urge you and encourage you to STOP . You are a child of the Most High God. You ought to have an attitude of a victor and not a victim. If you just believe in what the Lord has to say. Stand strong in faith and you will soar like an eagle. " He holds victory in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones" (Proverbs 2:7-8)
I am facing a dead situation myself and each day I am pressing on trusting in Jesus. People of God it is not easy to stay focused. I at times want to give up and the devil will try to bring you down. The situation around you may seem to worsen, it may seem as if all hopes are lost, but if you can trust in the Lord then be reassured that God's fighting the battle for you. Your natural eyes may not see any difference in the problem but as you press on you will see a supernatural break through.
Just because things don't seem to go your way doesn't mean it won't go God's way. We serve a mighty God. He says unto us “cast all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
How do I keep my focus? The situation has risen above my head, I have lost my peace. The answer my friend is to Control your Thoughts. Know that the devil will try to attack your thoughts, tell you negative things and provoke you to give up. It is so important dear friends to Be Still at times of trouble and let God to do his part.
Don't walk around all low and discouraged. Start celebrating for the God is still on the Throne. You know, with the problem I am going through I find it hard to go around smiling and enjoying my life. I would go like, God when will my time come? Being from a non Christian background I wasn't a regular at Church. I said God, the minute this thing sorts itself out. I would come to church with my friend to thank you.
And then I got reminded of a wonderful promise of God. He says “That is why I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours”. (Mark 11:24). People, do you believe today that Faith can move mountains? I believe it and you know what, in my case the situation from what I know and heard has only gone bad but I go to church every Sunday to thank God for I know he will fulfill his promise and will move this mountain from my life.
Be sure in your heart, that God knows and sees what you are going through. He is aware of your situation. All we have to do is cling on to God. Don't go around trying to solve things on your own. For what man can't do God can. Amen. Take refuge in him. Do not carry any anger or frustration on yourself or any one else. I feel abandoned and left out by this friend but I do know two things one God is in control and he will turn things around for good, two no good friend will turn his back on you intentionally. Stand strong in faith and for we serve a faithful God.
Precious people of God say this prayer today and see God work wonders in your life. Father in heaven, we commit ourselves and our problems in to thy hands today. Lord, the situation may seem dead, the challenges seem huge, but we take refuge in you dear Lord and we believe that you are in control and are already working things out for our good. In Jesus most precious name we pray. Amen.
Note: The bible is full of God's promises to his people. I would like to encourage you to read such verses and strength your faith.
