Don’t Succumb To Pressure
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory; While we look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things which are not
seen: for the things which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not seen are eternal
(2 Corinthians 4:17-18).
Why should a Christian read the Scriptures,
like our theme verse above and still gripe
and moan about challenges? It makes no difference
the pressure you face from the adversary; refuse to
budge, because the greater One lives in you. Never
find yourself wearing a sad look, frustrated, because of
the challenges you might be facing. That’s what Satan
wants; he likes to see that you’re under the pressure;
but don’t give him that luxury.
Christ lives in you. Therefore, when you face
crises declare, “Greater is He that’s in me than all the
pressures and challenges that could ever come against
me!” Whatever you may be going through is a light
affliction; always remember that. Learn to laugh no
matter the pressure, because every adversity you face
will produce for you a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory. The Word says so; hence, it’s the only
outcome to expect. That’s why you must rejoice in
the face of adversity. The Bible says, “…the joy of the
LORD is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).
Learn to celebrate, and rejoice in the Lord,
especially when the squeeze is on. Refuse to focus on
the problem. Fix your gaze on God’s eternal Word. The
Holy Spirit who lives in you will make you triumphant
always, and in every situation.
Confession
I celebrate the Word, its effectiveness in me, and power
to put me over all adversities.
I’m reigning in righteousness, growing in the grace, wisdom
and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I cause circumstances
to align with the perfect will of God for my life through
my faith-filled confessions, in Jesus’Name. Amen.
