\u201cTo him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne<\/em>\u201d Revelation 3:21<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our spiritual promotions are based on our triumphs of faith. God watches to see us overcome every challenge that we face because He\u2019s given us the power to do so.<\/p>\n

Your level of spiritual maturity determines the kind of relationship you\u2019ll have with the Lord. Let me explain what I mean with this illustration: When you were a baby, your parents did everything for you. They fed you, bathed you and changed your clothes. But they stopped doing all these for you at a particular stage in your life. This wasn\u2019t because they loved you less, but because you had come of age, and as such, you were expected to be more responsible for your life.<\/p>\n

In the same way, there\u2019s a stage in your Christian walk where God isn\u2019t at all perturbed when you\u2019re faced with unpleasant situations. In fact, He\u2019s actually happy to see you face challenges because He knows you can change any situation with the power He gave you. In addition, you\u2019re promoted spiritually each time you put the Word to work and change negative or hopeless situations.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter that the doctors may have diagnosed you with an incurable or terminal disease; if you\u2019re born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, God isn\u2019t at all perturbed about your situation. He\u2019s actually waiting for you to change things, for you can. Just keep talking your healing; keep bombarding that sickness or disease with the Word! Maybe you were told you couldn\u2019t have children of your own; God is waiting for you to reverse the situation.\u00a0 Or maybe it\u2019s been five years since you graduated from University, and you\u2019re still trying to get a job, or start up your own business; God wants you to change that situation also.<\/p>\n

You need to realize that you\u2019ve come of age; you\u2019ve arrived in the place where God wants to see you change whatever negative or hopeless situation you\u2019re confronted with: \u201cYe are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world<\/em> 1 John 4:4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Father, thank you for granting me the power to change negative and hopeless situations. That power is working in me mightily, and I declare that the circumstances and situations of my life are in sync with your will and purpose for my life, in Jesus\u2019 Name. Amen. <\/em><\/p>\n
