Bible reading: Romans. 8:12-17
Have you compared yourself with so many other believers around you and it seems that what you are going through is very different from their own experiences and you are beginning to ask "God why me? ".I congratulate you because you are in for a special testimony. What you are going through is evidence that you are a child of destiny and the devil is out to truncate it knowing what you are to become. How do you think Joseph felt when he was thrown into a pit by his own brother? He was sold to the Egyptian before finally landing in the house of Potiphar,where everything was committed into his hands. I am sure he would have been consoled by this and would have thanked God that he was finally in a safe place. Little did he know that there was a new devil in that house in person of Mrs. Potiphar. For every new in the life of a child of God, there's always a new devil. This is why I always remind my children not to rest on their success, because that is when the devil will come and knock you out. He watches for your your unguided hour. When you see the devil fighting you in all corners, you should know that you are special to God. My prayer is that Satan will never win the battle over you in Jesus name.
"when thou pass through the waters, I shall be with you and through the rivers they shall not overflow you, when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, neither shall the flame Kindle you".
Isaiah. 43:2
In this assurance, you should rejoice that despite the numerous tests and trials you are going through and the ones you will still go through, God is with you.
The level of suffering you go through will also determine the level of glory you will attain in God if you don't give in. The extent to which you are prepared to go through for Christ will also determine the extent to which you will reign with him.
"But he knoweth the way that I take, when he has tried me I will come forth as gold".
Job. 23:10.
To a user of this devotional, I decree in the name that is above all names that there will be a glorious testimony from your present trials in Jesus name. Continue to look into Jesus, the alpha and omega and do not allow the devil to knock you down.
Believe that your tomorrow shall be alright and don't let your present situation nullify the permanent promises of God in your life.
