Romans 8:18 ‘For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us’

DAILY READING; John 6:1-21; 1 Chronicles 22:2-23:32; Zechariah9

The common childhood experiences of 700 eminent people were captured in the book ‘Cradles of Eminence’.
Written in 1962, the book is a study of famous people and an analysis of what made them outstanding when they were children, but it also looked into what effect their surroundings had on them that made them to eventually become great in life.
The book revealed how the childhood environment and, more specifically, the relationship with one’s close family members, can have a long-lasting impact on character development.
The book is based on the authors’ review of thousands of biographies on famous individuals.
The authors, Victor and Mildred Goertzel spent years attempting to understand what common thread might run through all of these outstanding people’s lives. Surprisingly, the most outstanding fact was that virtually all of them, had to overcome very difficult obstacles in order to become who they were.

Indeed the path to greatness is a path often fraught with challenges. And it is only through overcoming those challenges that one truly becomes a winner and achiever in life.
As we go through the scriptures, we find also that most of those greatly used by God, were those who first passed through fire.
Joseph went through slavery and imprisonment before mounting the throne of Egypt. For David, most of his Psalms were written in very difficult times. Apostle Paul, wrote most of the Epistles from prisons. Even today, most of the present day great men and women have had to pass through various physical and spiritual oppositions to bring the Gospel to people.
God does not tempt anyone, nor bring these trials, but when the enemy does, God uses them as trainers for our spiritual muscles. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through trials and challenges, can the soul be strengthened, faith inspired, and success achieved.
The believer’s life is an overcomer’s life. It is a life of continually triumphing over challenges and moving from victory to victory. And our victory comes through the faith imparted to our heart by God’s Word.
This is why in times of trials, we do not focus on the negative things, rather we focus on Christ Jesus. No matter the trial, we keep looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
When you’re in a challenging situation, and choose to walk by faith, trusting God, certainly, it will all turn around for your good and to the glory of God.
Understand that the difficulties you are passing through are only preparing you for something better. This is why you must hold on to God’s Word, no matter how fierce the battle. You must keep living right and doing right because victory is coming.
Whatever may come your way, you will always come out on top because the greater One lives in you. Christ in you is the hope of glory. Therefore in every situation, keep giving praise to God, because as long as you are in Christ, your story will always end in glory.

PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to live an overcomer’s life by maintaining a lifestyle of consistent prayers, study of the Word and praise. Thank You for revealing Your glory through my story in Jesus Name.
