Job Mothiba - Let The Weak Say:

Life is not a fairy-tale. Not everything is a bed of roses and sunshine. There are so much mountains of problems in life to overcome. Some mountains are not meant to be moved but, they are meant to be climbed. You need to work hard, endure pain and pressure all the way. As some would say pressure only makes you stronger. Well, do not forget that burnouts and breakdowns are also real. Sometimes you cannot be “real” until you can relate. Some things are better said than done.

So, it is important to nurture yourself when under duress. And when a mountain look too hard to climb, remember the one who made the mountains. He knows the way to the top and has the power to take you up there. For the Bible says “Before the mountains were formed or the earth and the world were brought forth, you are God from eternity to eternity.” (Psalm 90:2)

You may be going through a difficult time, but be encouraged that you are not alone. Always remember, no matter how many problems you have, there is always someone who has more. I have never met a person who was not weighed down by some kind of problem or burden. So, whatever has thrown you off course, know that the loving arms of God and His endless grace are there to put you back.

For God has promised to give you double for your trouble, if you return to Him. He will give you beauty for all those ashes. As He said “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. “For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour…” (Isaiah 43:2-3)

Even though life is not always easy for everyone, just remember that you are not the only one with problems. There is a battle which is going on every day, fight through it. Bear in mind that everyone is not going to be in your corner but, that does not mean you are doing the wrong thing. God holds tomorrow not people. He is already in your next season, holding open the door and waiting for you to arrive. Yes, there will be obstacles. Yes, there will be doubts. Yes, there will be mistakes. But be strong and just keep moving forward. So, I declare that all obstacles and hindrances to your financial prosperity are dissolved in Jesus Name. For, “It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, and He adds no sorrow to it.” (Proverbs. 10:22)

Few situations in life are not as bad as we make them, as frightening as we report them. We tend to make good things bad and bad things worse. Yes, things can be so bad in one area, yet so good in another however, it might take a year, it may take a day…but, what is meant to be will always find a way. “ So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” (Hebrews 10:35)

If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out of that situation, take your burden to the Lord and leave it there through prayer. Pray and forgive yourself, appreciate others, listen to your gut, and remind yourself that we are all loved and connected by grace to the Lord. “So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while” (1 Peter 1:6)

Throughout our lives, there are times when God allows us to go through situations that will cause us to realize our insufficiency and make us depend on Him. No wonder you have dealt with so much and done the best you can in this life. You have been knocked down in the process but, still not out. Take this moment to thank God and appreciate the fact you are still alive. God is in control. No matter how many times you have been disappointed or whatever you have gone through, you are capable of finding peace. He saw you when you cry yourself to sleep.

He always sees your faithfulness. When you stopped running to all sorts of things in trying to find relief from pain and choose to run to Him. If your hope is in Christ alone, you shall never be shaken. From this moment onward you shall never lack again. Never again shall he withhold anything good from you “For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” (Romans 10:11)

We all go through unfair situations. Even when we choose God’s way to life, we still face both blessings and troubles, joy and grief. The sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one may raise many unanswerable questions, and as always, tests the depths of our faith and trust. But, believe that God is at your side through it all. “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39)

When dealing with things that appear to be stuck, issues and problems that keep recurring with a firm grip, you should move with boldness and perseverance and command them to move in Jesus name. Stumbling blocks are placed in our way by our adversary to cause us to trip and give up the good fight of faith. With the authority you have in Christ, you can order mountains to move out of your path, and mulberry trees to be pulled up by the roots and planted in the sea.

It means that you can order spiritual wickedness, harassing spirits, deeply rooted stumbling blocks, and every hindrance to the works of Christ to go where it can never grow again. It is more than rebuking it; it is bringing its life to nothing because it cannot be planted anywhere else.

What seems immovable can be moved, in Jesus name! What appears to be stuck can be unstuck, in Jesus name! What looks impossible is possible, in Jesus name! So as the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,” and it would obey you. (Luke 17:6)

Every situation you are going through is the stage for God’s glory to be put on display. You do not always have to know what is next, but trust God that He has a plan and purpose for every situation in your life. You do not have to wait for someone else to tell you that you can do it. You should know that God created you for something special. Every now and again, remind yourself that God has not changed his mind towards you. For He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

As you know there’d always be oxygen, just know things will work out for good. As you just know there’d always be day and night, just know that there is God who provides all our needs. May God provides you with everything you need now and forever. May, “the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen! (2 Timothy 4:22)

Sometimes, you may want God to change the situation, but God wants the situation to change you. Some of us, our lives are being shaken up. And as you are crying out to God asking Him to help you, only to learn He is the one doing the shaking. Some of us have people and things attached to us that are hindering our ability to move to the next level in our relationship with God.

And, God is shaking things up to remove all that must go in order to preserve what must remain. So, stop trying to hold on to what God is removing. Do nothing on to what you know God is telling you to walk away from. Go ahead and follow your heart, but do not leave your mind too far behind. Let it go and trust Him. Whatever God removes, He replaces with something better. Sometimes God will literally shake everything up, in order to determine if you will still trust Him. Just like (Job 13:15) when he said “Even if he slay me, yet I will continue trust in him..!”
