1 Peter 5: 10 [TLB]
After you have suffered a little while, our God, who is full of kindness through Christ, will give you his eternal glory. He personally will come and pick you up, and set you firmly in place, and make you stronger than ever.
Challenges, obstacles and much hard stuffs in our ways are not there to stop or halt our progress; but to call our strength, courage and ability forth. Every challenge is an opportunity to develop our inward capacity and success power. All you need is the “will” and the “persistence” to surf through the tidal waves.
Successful people see challenges as an avenue to express the best of them. Limits and obstacles are stepping stones to achieving success. When your dreams are at a launching stage, men would definitely doubt and laugh you to scorn. Everyone thought David was stupid when he boasted about dealing with Goliath, but he eventually became a celebrated icon at the aftermath.
Refuse to be discouraged when people do not support you at first flight, don’t blame people because they refuse to believe your just cause. They will definitely come back to celebrate your significance.
Look at the aftermath of Joseph’s troubles; from the conspiracy of his own kinsmen to the pit, from the pit to slavery, from slavery to the conspiracy of his master’s wife, then to the prison; then from prison to palace. Look at the Joseph’s life.
The purpose of God for your life may experience some setbacks, just like Joseph experienced 13 years detour, but the aftermath was worthwhile. God always gets the glory in the aftermath.
Insulate yourself from any form of limitation, bitterness and unforgiveness. Allow God’s word reshape and reprogram your mindset. Accept responsibility and pursue your dreams whether people support you or not. God in His infinite mercy would send vision helpers in due time and it would be all worth it after all.
I love what happens at the aftermath, especially the aftermath of God. Remember Job, remember Joseph and many others.
Victory is always certain for those who have resolved to experience it; but you must first live the victory in your spirit on a daily basis through the Word. If the glory is not in your heart, there’s no way you are going to see it with your eyes. Keep moving on, the aftermath will give all the glory to God!
CONFESSION
My gaze is fixed in the word of God, I am not bitter or broken. I get stronger, wiser and better daily. Challenges are bread for me. I am winner in everything I do because the greater one is in me. God is working all things for my testimony in the aftermath. Halleluyah!!!
