Jackie Joyner-Kersee is the first American to ever win a gold medal in the long jump. She is also the first woman in history to earn more than 7,000 points in the seven-event heptathlon. Her achievements are so astounding that she was voted the Greatest Female Athlete of the 20th Century by Sports Illustrated for Women.
However, it is interesting to note that when she first started out in sports, her performance was very poor and she used to finish last in a race.
She was greatly encouraged by her mother to trust in God and keep aiming for the best. And so instead of giving up due to her poor performances she decided to improve on herself and began to practice every day.
But as she began getting better at her sports, in 1983 she received devastating setbacks in her health..Yet she never allowed the sickness to limit her progress or overcome her. Her faith in God remained strong.
Five years later, at the 1988 Olympics, despite her sickness, Joyner-Kersee won three gold medals. And she would go on to win many more Olympic medals and setting unbroken world records in the process.
Joyner-Kersee, who is an ardent Christian believes that the secret of her success has been her steadfast faith in God and His amazing love that sustained her through impossible odds.
The love of God ensures life’s challenges never overcome us. Through Christ, that strengthens us, we can do all things.
Anytime you are faced with overwhelming situations always remember that as a child of God, you have what it takes to overcome, because the Greater One lives in you.
Therefore don’t be intimidated by the size of any obstacle that may face you. In fact, the bigger the test, the sweeter your testimony.
You don’t have to run helter skelter looking for solutions, faith is available through God’s Word to help you overcome.
If perhaps you are facing a tough situation in your health, finances, or relationships, learn to acquire the faith to overcome by settling down to in-depth study of the Word.
When your faith is strong, though the storm, rain and winds may come, you will survive them all and still stand strong.
Therefore today, refuse to magnify negative circumstances, rather magnify God because He loves you and has destined you to triumph always.
You may not see it right now, but God is working behind the scenes, in your favor.. Keep praising Him, because very soon, those difficulties, trials and challenges will turn around for your good and be used to manifest God’s glory in your life.
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to spend quality time in Your Word so that my faith can be strengthened to overcome challenges. I thank and praise You Lord for I know You are turning things around and manifesting Your glory in my life in Jesus Name.
