GOD does not reveal the difficulties, hardship and trials ahead most of the time. That’s why we need to grow in our Christian life so whenever we face those trials we are ready for them. Source of our strength.

2 Corinthians 1:8-11

8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favour granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

There are circumstances that require beyond what you and I have humanly.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 11:23-28

23Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. 27I have laboured and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. 28Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.

He was in constant danger, turmoil, conflict, he has experienced every difficulty. He was the man doing the work GOD called him to do but he was in constant conflict.

We all face trials and difficulties so we need to go beyond our own strength.

Will GOD allow a situation that you won’t be able to endure?

Strength requires to face those situations are beyond our own strength and power and energy. Supernatural divine energy expresses itself in the life of a believer at the point in time needed. That is the expression of strength that makes us possible to overcome and be triumph of what we are facing at that moment. It is a strength available to every single child of GOD.

Source of our strength is LORD Jesus Christ. When we accept LORD Jesus as our Saviour, LORD Jesus comes to live in us with our spirit in the presence of His Holy Spirit. His Holy Spirit lives inside of us to live throughout His life. So you can face anything in life no matter what it is victoriously.

Ephesians 6:10

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

2 Timothy 2:1

1You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:13

13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

He learned it through the impossible situations and pressure and learn the lesson when our limits exhausted we can go beyond our limit given to us by LORD Jesus Christ. We learned it by getting thrown into it. Unless you experience that you won’t know the strength.

Our strength comes from Christ who strengthens me, and our limitation is the will of the Father. He will not going to empower us for something it is not His will for us to do, whatever GOD called you to do.

LORD Jesus Christ endures the hardship, we have a living Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5

1And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.

Weakness, fear and trembling in the presence of GOD, relying on GOD, in total dependence on GOD.

1 Corinthians 12:5, 9-10

5I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses.

9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

When I am at my weakest moment I get the biggest surge the power of GOD working in my life. If I experience the great weakness then I experience the great strength. At our weakest moment GOD is at work in us to power us to strengthen us. Then we become the most equip no matter what the trial is. No matter what’s going on there is power and strength available to children of GOD. Introduction to power of GOD is always through weakness. During the weakness we have the deep abiding experience with GOD. When you living godly life you will get rejected, you will be persecuted. You need to grow by, face triumphantly, victoriously, with peace in your heart that is relying on LORD Jesus Christ to be your strength totally in that situation no matter what.

The strength LORD Jesus gives to us is unsurpassable.

Philippians 4:19

19And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

We only learn by being thrown into the difficulties and weaknesses.

Ephesians 1:18

18I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people

The divine power we have been given is un-surpassing power and available to every single believer to face any trial no matter what it is. Through the hardship you will be able to endure no matter what. That is the grace of GOD, available.

GOD if you don’t do it, it won’t work! Acknowledge your weakness and helplessness. Understand the power of weakness. Acknowledge that GOD if you don’t do it, it won’t happen.

GOD will do what He says, equipping us, enabling us beyond what the human capacity.

9Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

The reason GOD brings us to the point of weakness, helplessness is that He wants to bring us to a point that we absolutely totally rely upon Him.

Heavenly Father I absolutely cannot do it myself and if you don’t it won’t happen. And trust Him that He will do what He says.

You will become richer in the understanding ways of GOD, you will became stronger in your faith in power of GOD. His power is sufficient and you will be overwhelmed with His love for you. He walks with you through the most difficult of circumstances. He walks by your side as well as by living inside of you. Trust GOD to be everything you need in this moment in life. LORD Jesus will release all that whatever you need for you to be able to face everything you are facing victoriously, triumphantly with a great joy through all the difficulties and hardship. You will be sustained by the power of GOD. Join your hearts with Him.
