GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT

Been quite a while I wrote something here. Forgive me, a lot has been on my mind ranging from personal to societal issues. I've been good and I trust you all have been too. Our present labours and sufferings are nothing to be compared with to where we are going and the glory ahead of us; this is my hope and stay!

The topic above is one that got me thinking about the future and how to get there.

TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS by Debby Tryon

It’s a blessing sharing with you once again. A song writer says "Blessed be the Lord through my trials and all my struggles".

There is a thin line between our TRIALS and our TRIUMPHS and that is DECISION. You can either "decide" to give in after you must have struggled to the best of your ability or you "decide" to bring in the one who has overcome the greatest trials of life "Jesus Christ". Interestingly He is willing to help us overcome all of our trials, which are heavy burdens and give us triumphs (Matthew 11:28).

At the temptation of Christ, He was placed at a place of “deciding" to give in to the devil’s promises, but he chose to rebuke Him and that gave Him victory. (Matthew 4:1-10). We have to "choose" to defeat our trials, and this can happen only through the Word of God and in the place of Prayer. We equally have to remember that most of the times trials are a stepping stone to breakthroughs, other times they are deliberate; permit me to also say trials are a necessity to growing spiritually as it helps you exercise spiritual authority.
