HOW TO STAY CALM WHEN IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS

-


As human beings, we are sometimes faced with challenges from work, school, family, finances, amongst others. Matthew 6 and Philippians 4:6-7 tells us that we should not worry about anything but instead seek God’s righteousness, praying and giving thanks.

Here are few ways we can overcome fear, anxiety when faced with challenges:

1.      Silence the voice of the devil:

We need to beware of evil thoughts and strange voices when faced with crisis. The bible says guard your heart with all diligence (Proverbs 4:23). Tell the devil confidently, that you are a child of God, you have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness and transferred to the kingdom of God (Colossians 1:13)

2.      Speak in tongues:

Oftentimes we don’t even know what to pray for. That’s why we need the Holy Spirit to intercede for us (Rom. 8:26-27). Take a moment today to pray in the Holy Ghost and you will see results.

3.      Engage in deliberate thanksgiving:

From personal experience, thanksgiving and intense praise session soothes the soul most especially when faced with troubles. We need to overcome brooding or being more bothered about the current situation or the negative outcomes of same.

Surrender all to God today; thank Him wholeheartedly for all the previous blessings and even what He is currently working out as per the given case. Recently, I cultivated the habit to pray this – “Lord, help me to know how much you love me”

If only we know how much He loves and cares for us, we won’t go a day being worried and not thanking Him. He has good thoughts for us (Jer.29:11, Is. 55:11, 1 Cor. 2:8-9).

4.      Tell it to Jesus!

The popular song – There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No, not one! - comes to mind here. We need to tell it to Jesus. Every single thing! He is always ready to hear us. He said, “call unto me and I will answer you…” (Jeremiah 33:3).

Is it about the finances, sickness? applications and rejections? Tell Jesus how you feel, the difficulty you are facing and what you want. He is more than able to do exceedingly above what we can think or ask for (Eph. 3:20).

The Power of Words, Associations, and Conversations

You may have not particularly considered the huge influence your friends, associates, and even random conversations have on you, especially in the way you think and act. I recall a conversation I had with a friend several months ago. We discussed something that was my major heart's desire at that point in time, and she said she didn’t think it was possible.  I kid you not; a few weeks later, the devil pounced on that statement, making me doubt God’s ability to give me that desired testimony. Immediately, I remembered the song, “Whose report will you believe? I shall believe the report of the Lord!” And that was it for me; I began to speak the word that “With God, all things are possible, God is able to do abundantly above all I can think and ask for; “all things work together for my good” (Luke 1:37, Ephesians 3:20-21, Rom 8:28). Oh yeah, I guessed right. You’re thinking this is cliche! Words are mere words, right? 😅 No! Words are actually powerful. They are like seeds! You become

Why You Need to Examine Your Christianity ASAP🥹

And He said to me, “don’t feel like you are holier than others” I startled for few seconds. That was the Holy Spirt talking to me😮 I had to examine myself for several minutes, like what was I doing wrongly? But I am not showing off or judging anyone now 🥹🥹 The honest truth is that that’s the case for most Christians; we judge others or feel like we are way better with serving God than others. Remember the Bible says, judge not (Matthew 7:1) Recently, I have come to realize that Christianity is a personal journey; unless God tells you to advice an individual regarding the faith work (which should be done in gentleness and love - Galatians 6:1-2), why are we trying to remove the speck in their eyes while leaving the log of wood in our own eyes? It is very easy to see other people’s inadequacies while not seeing your own inadequacies (Matthew 7:5) The Bible calls such an individual who goes about with such behavior an hypocrite. How do we preach the gospel to the unsaved while we are s

How to Forgive Easily

Bitterness and resentment won’t do any good both to our health and spiritual lives. Forgiveness has been linked to improved mental health such as reduced anxiety, depression, stress and major psychiatric disorders. In addition, forgiveness not only improves one's health but also translates to God forgiving us our own sins too and in turn helping us grow spiritually and praying effectively.  Absolutely no one hasn’t been offended or offended others. However, we have a choice to make; either to let go/forgive and live a happy life OR keep holding on to offences and having a heart full of burdens. Here are few ways to forgive easily. We are an extension of God’s love We were yet sinners but God loves us (John 3:16). The Bible in Colossians 3:13 says we should  forbear and forgive one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” ‭ The Bible says we should love one another by extending God’s love to others. We can extend God's l
