The Purpose Of Life Challenges

-
Just as precious stones can only be polished with friction, so our lives are perfected through the trials and challenges that come our way. If we had our choice, we would prefer to go through life without any struggles. We will all prefer an easy life. But the struggles and challenges we go though actually serve a purpose. They help us grow and develop into stronger, wiser and experienced people.

Instead of us to let challenges weigh us down, we should rather be determined to overcome them. Difficulties in life are inevitable, sooner or later we all experience our person "Hell and high waters". Jesus said "In this world you will have trouble...". John 16:33. This is to say that challenges in life are certainties. Challenges in life are not prejudice, they come to the rice, poor, black, white, educated, illiterates, big or small. Challenges of life comes to one and all. But Jesus also said "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world". For you to overcome life challenges, you need Jesus to help you.

Challenges of life can either make you or break you. They can either destroy you or strengthen you. It all depends on how you handle them. One thing I know about challenges is that God will not allow a challenge that we can not handle come to us. So in times of challenges, the best bet is to go back to God who made you and ask for help to overcome your challenge.

Challenges if properly handled brings out the best in us, like the polishing of a precious stone. Just as gold passes through the fire to be purified and appreciated, so are difficult times. No difficult situation is ever sweet, but if we continue to hold on and trust God, we will definitely come out better, stronger, wiser and with a testimony.

From Hopelessness To Testimonies

Life is full of so many hopeless conditions. There are lots of people who are today in seemly hopeless situations. Hopelessness in getting married. hopelessness in getting a job. Hopelessness in completing a project. Hopelessness in a relationship. Hopelessness all around.  There are some problems in life that looks as if you are passing through fire. Sometimes you are even afraid that you might not come out of them.  Don't contemplate suicide. Don't throw in the towel. I've got good news for you. No matter the challenge you are facing, there is still hope!  My wife shared a story of a lady in her village, who had a seemingly hopeless situation. As a child she took ill and her parents took her to a native doctor who gave her some herbs. Unfortunately, the herbs destroyed her organs. She was taken to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor discovered that her womb was badly affected and the only way to save her life was to remove her womb. When she grew up, she w

The Power Of Love

For any family to stick together, love is a very important ingredient. Love is what holds the family together. In times of trouble and difficulty, love prevails.  In any family where there is love; peace, harmony and happiness is usually enjoyed. Some people think that money can bring happiness in a home. In as much as money is very important, it can't buy happiness. It can buy beautiful houses but not a happy home. It can buy food but not appetite. It can buy good cars but not a happy home. Money can buy latest electronic gadgets but not a happy home. I've seen real wealthy families get divorced. Money wasn't the issue there. They were not happy in the marriage so they thought; the best bet is to break up. Some years ago, I heard about a wealthy man whose wife slept with their gardener. Such things happen every day all around the world. Many marriages today are ending up in divorce and children are running away from home mainly because they are not happy at ho

Down But Not Out!

Once in a while, we all get knocked down in one area of our life or the other. Our struggle in life is such that some times we win, while other times we lose. There are times we are down in our health, finance, spirituality, job, marriage, family, emotion, relationships, business, e.t.c. It is not our being knocked down that is really the problem but our attitude when we are down. There are people who become hopeless, frustrated, depressed and afraid to try to get up again, when they are knocked down.  Your being knocked down does not mean that you are finished. It does not mean that you are a failure. It is not the end of the road. It only means that you are not perfect. It only means that you are not there yet. The devil is a liar! I have good news for you. "You can rise again!” The Bible says, "For the righteous man may fall seven times and rise again"(Proverbs 24:32). I don't know the area of your life where you've been knocked down. It might be in y
