SUCCEED - CHALLENGES ARE NORMAL Happy Monday to you all. We opened our doors as Gospel Envoys to the public in Livingstone and God brought in over 150 hungry souls for this first ever service. We will disciple these, convert them into fishers of men and then we do the official launch of the branch. Our two photos here show the main auditorium which for size could not sit all 150 plus and the overflow in which we sat the rest who followed via projectors. Certainly God is at work. Nothing turns my heart on like pioneering new works like this. I get so blessed to see how such a starting work suddenly blossoms into a mega church. This is how we do it by the grace of God. We gather whoever is on the street, the young, the old and whoever they are. The word has power to transform them. Livingstone is certainly ours to take for Jesus. We will be there soon with Night of Destiny. Today we want to encourage you in very brief words. Dont join the people who behave as though God promised us a life without challenges. He said WHEN you pass through the river , it wont sweep over you.....WHEN you walk through the fire , it wont burn you...... Take note that God used the word WHEN and not IF. This means challenges are inevitable. What matters is your resolve to win. Imagine that Jesus was in the same boat with the disciples and yet a storm arose. The presence of God with you does not mean the devil will join those clapping for you and cheering you. Even with the presence of God in your life, storms will arise . What you need is the boldness to stand up to them and say peace be still! Yes you need to use the word of God and win. Even persecution and criticism is part of the package . You cant wish there were no persecutions and criticisms. That type of Christianity is non existent except for the one who has resolved to just sit and do nothing and achieve nothing. This is the only person who will have no persecution and criticism but will still face other challenges. This week I urge you to stand up to every challenge and take advantage of that challenge to move higher. That challenge has come to accelerate your movement to the next level. David would not have been known to announce him for kingship to the people who never saw his private anointing ceremony with Samuel without the challenge of Goliath, the God of Daniel would not be known without a den of Lions. That challenge comes to expose the greatness of God in you to his glory before all men. Squeeze an orange and you will know its the best way to get juice out of It. Let challenges squize a child of God and you will see the potential God has put in them being released. There are deep deposits in you and sometimes challenges are the best way to draw them out. Challenges are normal irrespective of the discomfort they bring when they arise. I say to you today you will win in the name of Jesus. I decree and declare boldness in you. Yes greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world . This challenge is being turned into a testimony. I leave you with what David said to himself in Psalm 108:13. He said : Through the help of God we shall do mighty acts of valor. For he treads down our foes. Somebody shout I rise above all challenges and I WIN
