Tough Times Never Last

-
Dr. Robert H. Shuller said, "Tough times never last, but tough people do". I totally agree with his philosophy. I have seen people who experienced tough times, but outlasted their problems. Some of these people are people with dogged faith. People who will not take "NO" for an answer. People who refuse to throw in the towel. I mean people who refused to give up against all odds.
Dr. Nelson Mandela is one example of men who outlasted their troubles. He spent 27 in prison fighting for a cause.
King David is another good example of men who outlived their trouble. He was hunted by King Saul for no just reason, but at last he became the king of Israel.

God told me some time ago that my trouble will not kill me but I will rather come out of them stronger. And it's true. I have seen problems that seem as though there is no way out. But God made a way for out me. Today I look over my shoulders and see problems  that were seemingly insurmountable, but today they have become sources of testimonies.

I don't know what you are going through but I know it will not last forever. God is going to bring you out of that problem, The Bible says in Psalm 34:19 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him from them all".

For you to outlast your problems, you must be dogged. You must not give up or give in. You need to be patient and prayerful. Because in God's time He makes all things beautiful. Don't surrender to the enemy. Do not retreat. Do not runaway! Your victory is sure! Confront, overcome and out live your problem!

Thanks

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
