As people we can and will go through challenges in this life, these challenges can try and stop us from doing things we know we are supposed to be doing.
People who do not know God can get into a state a of depression many times because of the challenges’ of life and find themselves going to psychiatrists and psychologists to try and find the answer to their issues. Unfortunately even some people who call themselves Christians find themselves visiting those same secular psychiatrists and psychologists. However for those who know the word of God and understand the promises of God, even though they get down, they don’t stay down and they definitely do not put their trust in man. Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. David was a man who faced many challenges and found himself in situations which he seemed desperate, and yet in those situations he could still say: Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. Psa 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psa 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. You see just because you are a Christian, does not mean you are immune from emotional and psychological attacks by the enemy, however God has made provision for us in his word, because as well as being a spiritual book, the Bible is also a psychological book, dealing with how we think. The enemy understands that we become how we think, so he tries to overwhelm us with negativity, whether that be what we are reading, watching, listening to or the atmospheres we are in. Why do you think Jesus said: Joh 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. As a Christian we separate ourselves from certain things and as a result of that God himself has separated us. This is why when the plagues that God send down on Egypt as an act of judgement on Pharaoh was affecting the whole land, there was a little piece of land that it did not affect, and that was Goshen, because that was where God’s separated people were. So when challenges come our way, we do not have to be overwhelmed, because we serve a God who is bigger than the challenges. We just need to know what to do and where to go when these challenges face us: Psa 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Parallel Principles We have to acknowledge who we are and what we have access to. As one of God’s children God is truly concerned about your success in whatever you put your hand to, that you are diligently working towards and putting him first in. So you better believe God is concern about your success in Reliv. We need to understand that the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord, so we need to allow God to order our steps even in this business. When we know this as the case, even when we face challenges in our businesses, we will know that God has already made a way out for us if we just trust him. This is called Faith in Action and without faith, it is impossible to please God. Building our Reliv business we are helping to fulfill the mandate given to Dr Theodore and that was “Be ashamed to die until you have scored a victory for mankind” God honors commitment and he is honoring Dr Theodore’s commitment through every active distributor. So do not get overwhelmed, plug into the system, work with your team and allow God to order your steps. ********************************************************************************** Jason Gregory, Mentor to people in their health & finances www.visionarys.ws **********************************************************************************
