WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Many a time in life we find ourselves in a difficult situation and we feel like giving up but we learnt that God has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. We have to embrace what God has given us; to believe that we have the power to overcome.
Gen 3:11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
In fact we should all be asking ourselves, who told us that? Who told me that I am not able to overcome parental objection? Who told you that you cannot overcome the problem you have now? God always has the final say. If God didn’t say you can’t then you shouldn’t stop trying.
God really wants to see how much we want to overcome a problem, how much effort we are putting into it, how much faith we have in Him. God sees through into our heart, and when He knows how much we want to overcome the problem, He will definitely find a way for us. Just like how He has done for others, He will surely do for us as well!
Shut your ears to what others say you can’t accomplish, but open your ears to the Lord God and obey Him. Did God ever say to you, you can’t do it? Until that day comes, we should all press on, for God will definitely lead us up to a higher level!
