Strength for everything – Part 5

Strength for everything – Part 5

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Don't focus on your weaknesses. Don't focus on your lack, but focus on the provision of God. You might have failed in life, you might have been walked over, but the strength of Jesus has not failed. Even after all torture and persecution to death, He rose again on the third day. Nothing could defeat Jesus. Nothing can defeat the strength of Jesus. If this strength comes in you, nothing can defeat you. When you were born again you were provided this strength, but if you are not conscious about it, you will live defeated. Eg. You might have a millions of money in your account given by your father, but if you are not aware of it, you will live a poor life. You have to search this truth from your father and only being aware of it, you will become rich and change your lifestyle. If after knowing the truth you forget it, it still doesn't make you rich. That same the strength of Jesus is already given to you. Study it, meditate it and remind yourself daily about it, it will strengthen you. Remind yourself of the persecutions of Paul and yet how he lived a powerful life. Remind yourself, that even though he was suffering yet, God was healing many people through him. People came to him even when Paul was in prison. People were healed and blessed even there. This shows that he was living a victorious life.

This victorious life was possible because he knew that he had the strength of Jesus in him. Paul knew that he had to only apply it in his life and release it. Don't focus first on doing all things, but focus first on applying the strength of Jesus. After applying this strength of Jesus you will be able to do all things. You will be able to bear your boss, you will be able to bear the daily gravitational pull form the people around you, you will be able to rise above all the negativity and sadness.

Now the choice remains with you, what you want to do with this seed of God's word which I have given you. If you want you will sow it in your life and reap the harvest by patiently watering it or just leave it thinking nothing has worked in the past neither will it work now. You have to make the choice. I urge you to make the choice like Paul, like Joseph, life David, like Job and you will indeed see the victory. God bless you.
