2Kings4verse26 ‘Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, it is well.’
Dear Friends, Life is full of challenges, this is why we need to have the right mentality towards these challenges if we will truly overcome them! Jn16v33.Your attitude will determine a lot of things, such as the following:
-It will determine how far you will go.
-It will determine your performance in life.
-It will also determine your altitude in life.
Dear Friends, this is why you need to start paying attention to your attitude because it will determine a lot of things. Instead of fear, I want you to embrace faith like the great woman of Shunem did in our text scripture (2Kings4v26). She spoke with confidence and courage even in the midst of the crisis. This is how God also wants you to behave and respond to your current challenges. Are you ready to put on this attitude? However, before I begin to share with you some of the kinds of attitudes that you need to have towards the challenges of life, I would like us to examine some important truths about challenges! If you are ready, here we go!
IMPORTANT TRUTHS ABOUT CHALLENGES:
1. God never promised that you won’t be challenged or go through things in life. What God promised instead is deliverance in the midst of those challenges. Isa43v2-3; 2Cor4v17. So get ready to be victorious!
2. You don’t choose your battles but you can choose your response towards it. This is an important truth you need to understand about the challenges of life, if you will be victorious. Dan1v8. The power to choose your response is in your hands, so use it wisely and to your advantage.
3. It is the challenges that we go through that make or mar us. This is also largely dependent on your attitude. This is why your attitude is so vitally important. The challenges of life can either take you up or bring you down! It can take you to the penthouse or take you to the pit. It all depends on your attitude! So if I were you I would stand paying attention to my attitude from today! Join me in our next lesson for the continuation of this powerful series.
Other Scriptural References: Ps23v4; Mic7v8; Pro24v16; Rom8v18.
Prayer for Today: Father God, I receive your help and grace in maintaining the right attitude towards the challenges of life in Jesus name, amen.
CONFESSION: I reckon that the challenges of this season are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in my life. So I refuse to quit or cave in to the pressures of this season! I will stand my ground and by faith, knowing fully well that I will be victorious at the end of the day in Jesus name, amen.
