It is when you are confronted by challenging situations and circumstances that your true character manifests. Many children of God say ‘Amen! And Praise the LORD!’ when things are going well and smoothly for them. Let them just be offended by small temptations, you see the kind of vocabulary they release through the same mouth they use to say Amen and praise the LORD. You can only withdraw from your bank account the money that you deposited. If you are not yet mature in the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23; Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and self-control, when the adversities increase, you will find yourself spitting out fruits of the contrary spirit which include evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these come from an evil heart which is still void of the Word of God. When you are full of the Word of God, I tell you; whichever way the enemy throws curses at you, you will always emerge victorious. Remember that with the heart you believe what God says to you about yourself and the world around you and with the mouth you confess what you believe. Matthew 7:17-18 says, “Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring fort good fruit.” When adversities increase, therefore speak the Word of God and you will see all things bowing down. This is what the LORD Jesus Christ taught when He was nailed to the Cross. He released the Word of God and all forces of darkness bowed before Him. During this year, let Jesus Christ be the Shepherd of your life in word, thought and action. Always stay, live and walk in faith, hope and love. Never allow anything to steal, kill or destroy your salvation. Always keep your focus on Jesus Christ the Author and Finisher of your faith. You must meditate on Psalm 23:1-6, always and if you are faithful, God will certainly fight all your battles. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You LORD Jesus Christ for Your Word which shows me that when trouble grows, my true character will be revealed. Fill my heart with Your love so as to respond with patience and kindness. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
