I was with Pst Babatunde Iyanda five years ago. While he was opening my understanding to some certain questions I asked him, he said: “my son, there is evil embedded in every good things of this world.
Though he explained, but I never rest mediating on this statement some days after. Then, I remember that I had once written a gospel article titled : “Success Is A Friend of Many Challenges”.
This therefore encouraged me to write about this statement as titled above. It shows that before we possess anything good, we will pass through some evil roads. After achieving success, we should expect to fight every evil in order to maintain what we have achieved.
That’s the logic of getting good things. And the logic of maintaining good things. Good things are not cheap. Stop blaming God for your failure.
It remains a fact that nothing good comes easily. Success or blessings is never easy to achieve. And they are never easy to maintain. There is this saying that glory brings battle. If you want to go far in this world, you will face many challenges and fight many evil before you can realise your desires.
The world is a battle like my friend use to say. If you don’t want to fight, the fight will look for you.
You must do extra ordinary things that lazy people cannot do. You must war against physical and spiritual battles. You must defeat every temptation that comes your way even at the edge of breakthrough. You must learn to deny yourself and make sacrifices most of the times.
Even the Bible says there is nothing we face in life that is not peculiar to the human race:
“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”(1 Corinthians 10:13)
Henceforth, stop blaming God for the evil of this world and the challenges surrounding your success/breakthrough. If you fight very well, there is always a way of escape already provided by God.
Stop that lamentation and face the reality of evil in all goodness.
Every day is to fight. Not physical battle but spiritual battle. Declare spiritual war on anything hindering your blessings.
Most importantly, you can’t fight alone. Hence, you must be born again and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. He will fight with you and fight for you. He’s the only One that cannot be stopped by anything.
ACCEPT and CONFESS JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOUR. Do the needful now and forsake your sin. Nothing guarantee the future like a correct picture. Plan for your eternal life. Picture your Heaven now.
Remember those inside the grave do no longer have this opportunity to read and digest this type of message. It’s by grace you are reading this message. It is by grace we sleep and wake up. It must not be too late for you. Close your eyes and talk to God in that place you are.
I just told you..
Say : Lord Jesus, I am sorry for my sin. Forgive me. (confess your sin) I accept you today as my Lord and Saviour, come into my life and remain there forever. Amen.
