Proverbs 24:10(If thou faint in the day
of adversity, thy strength is small). Psalms 110:2(the LORD shall send the rod
of thy strength out Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies). Psalms
144:1 (Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war and
fingers to fight):
In the journey of destiny, there is
what is called endurance trekking; it is part of our training. We need to
develop stamina to withstand the difficult days because it will surely come;
your preparation will determine your victory. We need to endure certain things
along our path in this journey and without endurance training
it may be tough. The bible says if you faint during trial your strength
is small (proverbs 24:10). If you don’t want to faint during the time of trial
then endurance trekking exercise is what you should embark on. You shall
not faint in Jesus name. Waiting for the day of the battle before embarking on
the exercise is a recipe for failure; it is called crash program, and it
answers to his name; those who embark on it are liable to crash landing.
Endurance trekking helps us to develop our faith because our faith in God is
what will sustain us. Isaiah 26:4(Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in the
LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength). We can never go wrong trusting God
the more trust you have in Him the more your strength. Faith is in levels and
it has capacity to grow; little faith little result, great faith greater
result; it is to you according to the level of your faith that can also mean
according to the level of your strength (Matthew 9:29). Our faith is our
stamina, faith is what will react to that negative situation and say no, faith
will say that’s not what God said concerning you and as soon as faith says no,
God will step in to confirm His word in your life. Faith is what will tell you
to endure that the end is near and that you will soon see the glory of God.
Faith cometh by hearing the word of God, we need to feed ourselves with the
word of God (Romans 10:17). Psalms 119:28(My soul melted for
heaviness; strengthen thou me according unto thy word). The word of
God is therapeutic, and it is energizer, it strengthens our faith. The bible
says in Jude 1:20(But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Ghost). We can also build up our strength in
prayers and fasting; by praying in the Holy Ghost. Jesus says in Matthew 17:21(Howbeit
this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting). He told them in the
previous verse that their faith is small and needs to be built up. They need
more strength to withstand such challenges. Isaiah 40:30(Even the youths
shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they
that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with
wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not
faint). The bible is telling us that the strength we need does not answers
to age. During my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), we embarked on endurance
trekking training but I thought it was fun even though I cheated; I didn’t
follow them to the end. I waited somewhere for them to come back but I later
paid the prize. I was posted to a remote area with unfamiliar weather and so
many other things. I wasn’t prepared and I stressed everyone around me because
of my unstoppable crying and complaining but my colleagues were okay; maybe
because they did not cheat during our training. Despite all my crying and
rebellion I stayed because it was just a one year program. At the end I had a
testimony; it was during that period that I encountered God in a strange
dimension and now I can’t tell my story without that experience. God has a plan
for each and every one of us; sometimes we think He does not care about us nor
hear our cry. When we are in pain, He is in pain too. It is called turf love.
Those training are necessary in order for us to be able to manifest our
glorious destiny. He is teaching our hands to war and our fingers to fight
because life is a battlefield and not a funfair; you need strength to rule in
the midst of your enemies. Friends, please endure, stay on and complete your
training. You shall not quit and not faint in Jesus name. The LORD is our strength;
which means without Him we have no strength. In case you have not made him your
Lord and savior; this is your chance, do so and be blessed in Jesus name
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
