The Adversities Don’t Count
And do not [for a moment] be frightened or
intimidated in anything by your opponents and
adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness]
will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of
[their impending] destruction, but [a sure token
and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation,
and that from God (Philippians 1:28 AMPC)
As a Christian, you’re a victor forever; therefore,
never be concerned about who’s against you
or the challenges that you face. For example, anyone
who sets himself up as your adversary will of necessity
stumble and fall. You don’t have to pray about it;
the Word says so: “...When the wicked, even mine
enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell” (Psalm 27:1-2). So you
see, the adversaries and adversities that you face are
not a factor.
The Bible says, “Greater is he that is in you, than he
that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). You’re unconquerable.
James 1:2 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye
fall into divers temptations.” You may be faced with
challenges in your academics; count it all joy, because
no matter what happens, you’re coming through with
a testimony. Refuse to faint or lose heart in the day
of crisis; God believes in you! He believes that He’s
trained you enough to face challenges and win.
Even when you’ve prayed and the trouble
seemed not to have gone away, refuse to give up.
We never buckle under trouble! We never cry when
we face challenges. Eyeball the devil and say, “Devil,
no matter what you do, I’m more than a conqueror,
because greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in
the world.”
We have the comfort of the Scriptures; we have
the assurance of the Holy Ghost in our lives that we can
never be defeated. Refuse to be terrified by anything.
There’re no adversaries or adversities on earth or in
the heavenlies that can overpower you as long as you
function in God’s Word. Glory to God!
Prayer
Greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world. I refuse
to worry or fret over anything, because the Lord is in me and
with me always. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
I dwell in the secret place of the most High God, and function
with the ability of the Spirit always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
