2021 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MESSAGE.
It felt like Stella’s whole world had come crashing down on her. Her dad lost his job, her mum was sick in the hospital, she flunked one of her core subjects, and was left out of the school’s volleyball team to play in the regional finals. She was curled up in bed sobbing until Cindy her best friend came to cheer her up and remind her who she is—a new creature, more than a conqueror, an indefatigable victor in every challenge or circumstance.
When you study and meditate on scriptures like 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 above, you’ll have no reason to moan and gripe about life’s challenges. It makes no difference the pressure you face from the adversary; refuse to give in. Never be flustered by adverse circumstances. Straighten up and stand tall, irrespective of the challenges before you.
Christ lives in you and He’s the greater One. Therefore, when you face crises, declare, “Greater is He that’s in me than all the adversities and adversaries that could ever come against me!” Whatever you may be going through today is a light affliction; it came “to pass.” So refuse to allow anything steal your joy.
Even our transient troubles produce for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; that’s what the Word says, and that’s the only outcome to expect. That’s why you must rejoice in the face of adversity. James 1:2 MSG says, “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides.” Celebrate and rejoice in the Lord when the squeeze is on. Don’t focus on the problem. Fix your gaze on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. In Him you triumph ALWAYS, and in every situation. Glory to God!
