*WHEN HE IS WITH Us IN OUR DIFFICULTIES*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  19 August 2023*


SCRIPTURE: When thou Passest through the Waters, I will be with thee; and through the Rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou Walkest through the Fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee - *Isaiah 43:2*


Often times when we face the difficulties of Life, our heart's cry is that the Lord will lead us out of them. 


If this doesn't happen immediately, we get discouraged and depressed. 


The Bible says, Hope deferred makes the heart sick - *Proverbs 13:12*


*The more appropriate cry should be for the Presence of the Lord in our difficulties.*


This is because He has Promised to be with us when we walk through the Fire.


*Let us consider what happens when He is with us in our Difficulties:*


*(1)* We shall not Fear - *Psalms 23:4*


*(2)* He will make us Stronger than our Difficulties - *Psalms 105:24*


*We will enjoy Capacity Building.*


*(3)* We will walk in our Difficulties and not Stand idle - *Daniel 3:25*


*(4)* God will use us to Change the worldly Narration - *Daniel 3:28*


*(5)* We will walk out Unhurt - *Daniel 3:25-26, Psalms 34:19-20*


*(6)* We will be Promoted - *Daniel 3:30*


*(7)* His Name will be Glorified.


*How do we bring Him into our Difficulties?*


*(1)* Engage the Force of Prayer - *Isaiah 64:1*


*(2)* Through the instrumentality of Faith - *Daniel 3:16-17*


*(3)* Refusal to bow to idols nor compromise your Beliefs.


*It is far more Profitable for God to be with us in our Difficulties, than to cry to Him to lead us out of our Difficulties.*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please don't leave me alone in my Difficulties, let Your Abiding Presence be with me.

EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE 2 AND DO YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE?

  *EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE 2 AND DO YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE*?                                     Another reason many have dissolved or gone extinct is that the visionary is unwilling to stretch.   They are not flexible or willing to change their ways; they prefer to stay the same. They don't want to be bothered with having to learn new things, meet new people, do it differently, or add a new twist to it.   It may even entail spending more money, and you may even risk losing money, clients, or staff.   Stretching entails a great deal; it challenges your brain, alters your thinking, is demanding, and entails a new level of commitment and responsibilities.   They are afraid of confronting new challenges because it is like starting over.Maybe you should be told that the world is no longer in its primitive state; it has grown beyond where it was when you arrived.    As it grows, things wear out and new things emerge because those who came before you accepted the challenge. They took
