TITLE: “OVERPOWER your Obstacles”
INSPIRATION: Control your thoughts, your mind and conquer obstacles!
Genesis 4:6b “…Then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master."
Obstacles are hindrances, complications, difficulties that come to frustrate the journey of life. Trust me, as far as you are in this world, you will come across a lot of them! They come in different dimensions but you must overpower them! When Jesus Christ was on earth, He encountered a lot of them; we won’t forget the temptations He encountered in the wilderness, but He overcame them through the POWERFUL WORD OF GOD! That’s Right! THE WORD OF GOD!
The root of every problem in life comes from our “THOUGHTS”; every evil, sin, fear, immorality and so on starts with THOUGHTS… In the passage today, Cain was angry because God accepted Abel’s offering than his own. Rather than THINK of ways to please God, he let his angry thoughts control him. God saw where it was going and warned him to control it, but he didn’t. He eventually murdered his own brother. Can you imagine the first siblings of creation killed themselves? You must OVERPOWER your OBSTACLES by changing you THOUGHT PATTERN. Don’t let it rule you! Philippians 4:8 says “Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise”. I have also comprehended that this is the best way to change bad behaviors and habits! And the best way to change YOUR THOUGHT PATTERN, is to study, meditate and regularly listen to the WORD OF GOD so that when these obstacles come, your mind is programmed to the real truth and corresponding action!! Glory!
In our year of ENDLESS POSSIBILITES, obstacles will come but you must be sensitive to these obstacles for they come in attractive packages, take charge, subdue it, be sensitive when the Holyspirit warns you, obey instantly and declare the word of God over it for Romans 6:11 says “…consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus”.
