“For with God nothing will be impossible… Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord” (Lk 1:37, 45)
Child of God, have you heard people say: “God will not give you more than what you can handle”? Sorry to disappoint you! But this is a lie! This idea is not Biblical. It is man’s wisdom! Just think of this: If God will give you only things you can ‘handle’, then you will start to trust in yourself! You will become a god to yourself. Your money will become your angels. Your friends who counsel you will become your idols. But God is jealous! He will not allow you to control your life! Only God is God! When no man can help and no ‘prayer kit’ works, God will intervene and you shall know that He alone is God!
So, what is the truth? According to the Bible and my own experience, God will give you MORE than you can handle!!! Why? So that you run to Him!!! Troubles push you to the Cross! All trials have a purpose! To give glory to God and to increase your faith! In everything, give thanks always! True faith gets mature during impossible circumstances, when you don’t know what to do; when you do not know what to pray for! Faith in the God of the Bible gets established and starts to shine like gold that passed thru the fire, when the whole world is against you and all you have is Jesus Christ! You and Jesus are the holy majority! You can ‘vote’ the devil out of your life! True faith grows, makes roots and fruits, when the only hope you have is God Almighty and His promises! During hard times, do not waste the opportunity to build your faith in God! It is the most precious currency you have. It works in good times and in bad times. It works in America and it works in Nigeria!
When you go to your office, you work for a salary. Men pay you a salary! But money cannot buy faith!!! When you need a miracle, it is only faith that will connect you with the supernatural provision! Faith bypasses the human wisdom and the power of money. Faith is heavenly approved! Faith is in a class of its own. Nothing will be impossible for you when with all your heart, you trust in God! Is your life hard today? Do not pray just for healing or money! Pray for only two things: divine wisdom and greater faith. Reject doubt, foolishness and fear! Be filled with the Holy Spirit! Trust in God! This is the ‘recipe’ for miracles and victory! Hard times do not last forever! The Word of God that encourages you lasts forever! Come back with a fresh testimony! I wait for you! Jesus Christ is the Lord!
When I first started reading this message I was astounded – I thought this was another cold atheist piece. I love the way you defended the glory of God! God bless!
I was born in Romania. I was an atheist until 1986. Thru a crisis conversion (by grace alone) I became saved. All I have now is Christ, crucified and resurrected! I live to give Him glory! Thank you for your encouragement! God bless you too!
Praise God for you, my dear! You will be greatly rewarded in the end. YOU are and will be a great example to many others who need to hear your story.
You are kind with your words. May you too be rewarded for your kindness in hard places! “He who waters will himself be watered [reaping the generosity he has sown]” (PV 11:25)
