LEARN TO SURVIVE IN ALL CONDITIONS

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer! I am delighted to share a message of encouragement and hope at such a time as this. In this journey of life we face many challenges and different situations. Some situations make us to doubt in our faith. At times we feel like quiting or giving up in life. But just remember that you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus, despite challenges you may be facing right now.( Romans 8:35-39) The title of my message is: " LEARN TO SURVIVE IN ALL CONDITIONS" The Living Bible in Philippians 4:9-13 says," ..........Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to get along happily wether I have much or little. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of contentment in every situation, whether it be a full stomach  or hunger, plenty or want; for I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power". The scripture above is a testimony of Paul's experience in his ministry. He says he learned how to get along happily whether I have much or little. He said he had learned the secret of contentment, in every situation.  People of in this journey of life we must understand and know the secret of contentment in every situation. Learn to survive in all condtions in life. It doesn't matter whether you have nothing or you have plenty, just learn to live and survive in all circumstances of life. Remember, life is a journey and things can change anytime which may change your lifestyle. Regardless of whatever condition you may be in, the Lord will help you to survive every condition. Some mishaps may force families to adjust to a new lifestyle, following the loss of their breadwinner. In  other situations, it may also be caused by the loss of employment, resulting in the loss of income for sustaining the family.    In all these circumstances, we must learn to adjust and survive, God being our helper. Remember the scripture above also says" I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power." Power and strength to overcome trials and tribulations comes of the Lord. He gives us strength to move on in life despite whatever may have befallen us. He also gives us the power to survive and face all circumstances of life. Be content with what you are, and what you have. Zechariah 4:6 says, "  Not by might, no by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty....you will succeed because of my Spirit, though you are few and weak." It is not our own power or strength which sustains us in difficult times, but the Lord's Spirit and power helps us to survive in all conditions. You become an all weather Christian if you allow God's strength and His Spirit's power to lead and control you. The Living Bible in Matthew 4:4 says,
[4]"But Jesus told him, “No! For the Scriptures tell us that bread won’t feed men’s souls: obedience to every word of God is what we need.” We don't survive or live because of food or bread, but by God's grace and His strength.
The Living Bible in Matthew 19:26 says,
[26]"Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, no one. But with God, everything is possible.” With God all things are possible. God in Christ Jesus, helps us to face all circumstances of life. He even leads us in flames of fire and floods of difficulties, as He holds us by His comforting right hand. ( Isaiah 43:2, Isaiah 41:10-13)
The Living Bible in 1 Timothy 6:8,17-18 says,
[8]"So we should be well satisfied without money if we have enough food and clothing.
[17]Tell those who are rich not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which will soon be gone, but their pride and trust should be in the living God who always richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.
[18]Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them." The scripture above also reminds us that money is not everything, although it helps us meet our daily expenditures. So we should  be well satisfied without money,  if we havd enough food and clothing. Furthermore, even without food and clothing the word in Philippians 4:10-13 says, we should learn to survive and be content with what is there at any given time. Learn to survive in all conditions and circumstances  of life. Things may not be favourable and even hard to get small things, but know that all things work together for good. "Learn to survive in all conditions!"
The Living Bible in 2 Corinthians 9:8 says,
[8]"God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more so that there will not only be enough for your own needs but plenty left over to give joyfully to others." Finally this scripture in 2 Corinthians 9:8 informs us that our God is able to give give us everything we need, and even let us have enough to give others in need. This year is a year of Good News. Therefore the Lord promises us good things in our lives. Good News is your portion! Good News is my portion! We shall harvest plenty and be able to share with family and friends. However, even if there is nothing, or plenty, we must, " LEARN TO SURVIVE IN ALL CONDITIONS." Don't quit! Don't surrender!  Don't give up, it shall be well with you in due season. ( Galatians 6:9)
