Everyone has problems. They are part of life. Some are inevitable; some are caused by bad choices; some are part of the process of conquering our dreams.
A common mistake among Christians is thinking that they shouldn’t have any problems now that their lives are in God’s hands. However, God never promised that.
Jesus said:
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
At the same time that He was preparing us for the challenges to come, He also reassured us that we shouldn’t worry – if He defeated death, with Him on our side we will overcome.
God has given us three weapons to deal with our daily problems:
- His Word
- His Name
- His Spirit
When combined with faith, these weapons make us more than capable of handling the toughest problems around.
Paul said it best:
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (…) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35,37-39)
Are you tired of your problems? Use the weapons God gave you and fight. If you have been feeling down, discouraged or weak change your attitude towards your problems and believe. Instead of complaining about our life, let’s do something to change it.
As we prepare for Easter – the day the world remembers Jesus’ victory over death – every Sunday at the UCKG we will be uniting in faith to fight for our victory. You don’t need to do it alone. Let’s fight together, one God, one heart, and one faith.
Whether your problem is a debt, unemployment, poverty, an addiction, an illness, family issues, stress, depression, sin/temptation, temper or something else, Jesus is saying, ‘Look at me, I did it! And you can do it too, if you believe.’
God bless
