THE ENDURANCE TREK

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.
