HARD FACTS OF LIFE

PART 2

James 1:2-4



Victory is not only when you win, sometimes victory is when you have learnt the lessons. 


Some situations God brings you into, is not necessarily to win but to learn and if you learn the lessons as far as God is concerned you won. 


Let me give you one secret to life, always be a learner. In any situation you find yourself in life whether good or bad, always look for what is there for you to learn.


When you are a learner your growth is accelerated and you have a vast bank of wisdom and experience that you can draw from and others can benefit from. 


Many pass through situations and circumstamces that others pass through for the same period of time or even more, yet they didn't learn one thing single thing out of it. 


You really don't know people until you begin to correct and rebuke them and try to get them to change and become better. 


Being nice does not reveal the true nature of people neither does it change anybody.


It is heat and pressure that brings the real man that needs to change to the surface, 1Corinthians 3:13-15.


There are two kinds of followers everywhere. Make me and use me people . 


The use me people wants to serve but they don't want to grow so they are resistant to correction and growth. 


They serve and serve but no changes or transformation in their lives because they are not open to change or correction but ready to serve always. 


Don't assume that because people are serving in a ministry or attend every service and listen to every message, they will be changed by those things. 


Change is difficult and it comes only with the personal determination of the listener and not the preacher. 


You can only teach and preach, it takes the personal decision of the listeners to mix their faith with what they are hearing and change or act in faith, Hebrews 4:2, 1Corinthians 10:1-6


The make me people embrace growth and change. They don't only want to serve they want to be corrected and be a better version of themselves. 


Jesus didn't just commit Himself easily to men, even though many believed in Him because he knew all men and knew what is in man, John 2:23-25. 


In your training manual there is a course on handling shame, handling disappointment, handling rejection and handling discouragement. 


Many don't like these courses and that gap in their training shows in their manifestation when they encounter situations and they don't know how to handle it. 


You will be surprised that some of my servants contemplate suicides.  That thought came because of a gap in their training. 


Going through the pain of watching others have crowds, have results and power while you have none is also a training. 


You may not realize it but it is doing something to you. Watching others leave you to go and join others that have results. 


Speaking and nobody responding are all part of the training. When you are done you are no longer moved whether men applaud you or not. You only do what I ask you to do and leave. 


Everything I allow to happen to you on a daily basis are all part of your training and equipping. 


If you will learn to set your heart on Me, I will show you what lesson is there to learn in everything.  


Your eyes will be so opened you will never miss any lesson hidden in any situation or circumstance again without learning it. 


It has always been consistent in God's dealings to use seemingly weak things to defeat the strength of men and satan.  


Things that make us look weak, foolish and despised many times only set us in a position where we become attractive to God for His strength, wisdom and glory, 2Corinthians 12:9-10.


Being weak, foolish and despised positions you in the realm of the spirit as a candidate for God's strength, wisdom and glory. 


When you interprete your condition correctly, what the enemy intends to make you cry will make you smile, 2Corinthians 4:18, Romans 8:18, Colossians 1:9-11, James 1:2-3



PRAYER: FATHER OPEN MY EYES TO SEE BLESSINGS IN MY ADVERSITY AND HELP ME TO LEARN THE LESSONS IN IT IN JESUS NAME. 



PEACE


SALVATION PRAYER


Anything short of you being born again and living a life of holiness and purity hurt Jesus so much. But you can make things right here and now by saying this simple prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart:


 Lord Jesus I come to you today. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I cannot help myself. I repent of all my sins and I forsake them. Jesus, I invite you into my life, be my Lord, be my Saviour. 


Wash me by your precious blood, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life. From this day, I promise to follow you all the rest of my life. Help me Lord, in Jesus name, Amen. Congratulations you are now born again!


PEACE

LESSONS FROM THE SHIPWRECK  Acts 27&28 Sometimes God brings about deliverance painfully slow. He seems to take all His time. It is because what God wants you to get out of that situation is far more than just being delivered.  Sometimes what you come out with is not just the testimony of deliverance or promotion, an anointing comes upon you on the other side of it.  It is not just an affliction, it is also your test. So instead of God bringing you out at once, He makes you walk through the length and breath of the situation and then brings you out on the other side. If you can get and sustain God's perspective on any situation the problem is 50% solved.  You can't enter the house of a strong man and spoil his goods without first binding the strong man, Mark 3;27 You are a strong man and satan cannot spoil your goods without first binding you and his first weapon for binding people is fear.  He uses fear to paralyze people. It is his chiefest weapon, Hebrews 2:15 If God can

THEY THAT BE PLANTED Psalm 92:13&14 Sometimes in life we hurry and move from place to place only to find out we have never really left one spot.  But atimes we remain in one physical location for long, only to find out that we have reached the world even from that one spot.  The Bible talks about being planted in one spot and from that spot the shadow of your branches will spread and cover the hills and mountains and you will spread your boughs and root to the seas and rivers, Psalm 80:8-11. The blessings of God are not place dependent they are His will dependent.  People keep making that mistake over and over again and till tomorrow they will keep making it but you can exempt yourself from that statistics. You cam be in one spot and kings of the earth will come and meet you in that one spot and bring you out, that is the description of a man God is working it.  People will seek out the grace from wherever it is hiding whether in the wilderness, desert or bush.  They remain at thei

GAINING MASTERY OVER CHANGES IN TIMES AND SEASONS Genesis 8:22 Spiritual seasons comes to an end as well as Natural seasons. One thing you must learn early in your walk with God is flexibility. Flexibility and alignment goes hand in hand. This is why...... God is dynamic (John 3:8), life is dynamic and we should also be dynamic.  Seasons change but a Christian that will live above the changing times and seasons is the one that has the flexibility to be evolving above the demands of the times and seasons.  God doesn't change but He moves and his strategies and methods change from time to time to match the changes in times and seasons.  That you are moving doesn't mean you are changing. Change and movement are two different things entirely.  In the minds of many it means the same thing especially where God is concerned.  Sometimes the changes in times and seasons are caused by demonic orchestrations and marshalled as attack against our spiritual life, Exodus 5:7 The victory lies
