Life is a fight. I encourage you to fight well. We are constantly confronted with tremendous obstacles and challenges in life. Whether you like it or not, the enemy will not stop fighting you. You don’t have to be surprised if some unusual and heartbreaking things happen to you. As long as you are here on earth, you will have tribulations but your joy in the Lord will grant you victory over your adversary the devil.

I’ve come to realize that the challenges or problems we respond to with the right perspective, has a way of advancing our life forward. Solving or overcoming a challenge is a license for you to solve other problems, no matter how big they appear. I know for sure that our lives will never be the same if we are able to develop the right attitude towards solving the challenges that confronts us.
The easiest way out of a problem is to solve it but if you keep running away from it like Jonah, be rest assured that is going to cost you more pain in the future. The problems we face in life are solvable only if you have the right perspective. It will be the other way round if your perspective towards it is wrong.
Most times, I would say to myself, I don’t care about the problem I am facing in life, I don’t care if it is my world against the worlds, I know that no matter are tough the challenges appear to me, I have a God that is well able to see me through. He is the Great God of possibilities.

God is personally concerned about you. He knows that you have needs; He has plans already written down for you even before you were born, He only wants you to develop the right perspective towards him. Scriptures says, all things are working for your God.
Apostle Peter in one of the epistle talked about how when your faith is tested and tried in the furnace of affliction, it will come out as pure gold and it will bring much praise and honor and glory to God. Your trial is a test of your faith. And untested faith has very little value. But faith that has been tested and tried in the furnace of affliction is one of the most precious possessions a person can ever have.
And remember, challenges never leave us the same. And don't you dare get negative and bitter and start blaming God or blaming other people. If you do that, you're playing right in to the enemy's hands. That's exactly what he wants you to do. You've got to make it backfire on him. Use those adversities as stepping stones to get you closer to God.
