My boldest times in life are when I face the impossible! Having the faith of God like the Lord Jesus commanded in Mark 11:22 is of no use when you don’t face the impossible. Some Christians get uncomfortable when we talk about challenges, tests and trials. They say, “My life is very simple, that’s why I don’t want any problem…” You see, that’s the reason many of God’s people never move forward in their lives. They are content with the general life and categorize themselves as the masses. But I often tell God’s people they’re not among the masses!
The children of Israel had to fight many nations in order to inherit the land God promised them. It was their responsibility to trust God and be bold to fight against those nations. By natural reasoning, it was impossible for them to defeat many of those nations because they were nations of giants. Fear delayed them for forty years in the wilderness until God had to raise a bold and fearless generation led by Joshua to conquer the nations and possess the Promised Land. Be bold, be strong in your life to face anything that comes your way because fear may delay your promotion.
Your promotion lingers until you face the impossible and win; that’s where promotion is. Just as there can be no excellence without an examination, there also can be no spiritual promotion until you overcome a test, trial or temptation. I get my kicks from challenges and from facing the impossible. There can be no miraculous victories or supernatural manifestation without them.
Supernatural persecutions bring supernatural victories. Therefore, it doesn’t matter how much persecution we face, be convinced of coming out tops because we’re victors and “…more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37). Hallelujah!
