Stand Up
We continue the discussion of the series titled overcoming life’s challenges. In my previous message I established that our life is interrupted with diverse types of challenges which to come to different people in different ways. In order to overcome these challenges, some of the principles we can use include looking unto Jesus, focusing on our life’s goals, seeking for God’s help, enduring the pain, being at peace with ourselves and depending on God’s grace. We specifically discussed how we can overcome the challenge of oppression by our enemy by leaning on the everlasting arms of God. We have also discussed how we can overcome the challenge of loneliness by staying connected with one another. This message is based on how we can overcome the obstacle of doubt.
Stay Connected
Introduction: There are many challenges we need to overcome as we live in this world. We have discussed some of the ways we can overcome these challenges brought upon us by ourselves and the enemy. In this message, we focus on another challenge that we need to overcome; the challenge of loneliness. To be lonely means to be solitary, companionless, or isolated. A loner is a person or animal that prefers not to associate with others. Loneliness is not the same as being alone. Someone said loneliness is mankind’s greatest problem and is the major reason behind the many and varied symptoms that people show today.
Leaning On The Everlasting Arms
Introduction: We learned earlier that in order to overcome life’s challenges, there are certain things we must do. These include – Looking unto Jesus, focusing on our goal, seeking for help, enduring the pain, encouraging ourselves, being at peace and depending on God’s grace. Yet another thing we can do as we seek to overcome the enemy is to lean on the Everlasting Arms of our Heavenly Father. One of the fundamental facts of life is that we all pass through diverse difficulties and we don’t always have the capacity to help ourselves except if we depend on God.
