Finding True Resilience To Live In Adversity

Pastor Vincent - 10 October 2013

Follow The Lord's Instruction Closely In Spiritual Battle

It is human nature to worry about tomorrow. What if I can't do this, what if things don't work well tomorrow.. what if we often let what has yet to happen to rob away our present happiness in Lord. Before Jericho, the Lord said to Joshua, " See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men.." God is always there, He is always present in your sadness, your current helplessness, your current family problem, relationship problems and even your insufficiency. But we often forget, we are often being frightened by what have yet to comeÉ the what if's in your mind - Satan is always instilling the fear, the deceptions and confuse our spirits so that we cannot look at the truth of God and draw strength from it. Behind the problem we are seeing everyday is actually the deeper spiritual battles that we need to fight against Satan - who is attacking us in every possible way just to divert us away from God's truth so that we feel the gospel irrelevant. But God has a precise instruction to our problems now, so that we can stand against the devil's scheme. Be in sync with God, hear what the Lord says and follow it carefully. As we wait upon the Lord and see what He is doing right now in our lives, we will then not be distracted by Satan into following our own desires and emotions. The Lord is not slow in fulfilling His promise and He has time for everything, therefore, go into prayer and ask God to reveal the very next thing we can do while waiting for His timetable. As we develop the instinct to hear Him through prayers, our faithful God will not hide from you and when the perfect time comes, your Jericho will be conquered, as you become more intimate with God.

Finding True Resilience To Live In Adversity


We are living in an epidemic of weakness in this Era. And it is obvious that we’re less resilient to criticisms, failures, problems, and daily pressures in these times. Yet, as humans, we are inclined to find strength through man’s positivity, only to fail terribly in the end.

God has promised us the Holy Spirit and His sustaining power in times of adversity. Let us learn how to resist succumbing to the enemy of our heart in our daily challenges. Let us find true resilience so that we can be strong in His grace and edify the weak around us.
