Are you weary and heavy laden? Is the burden of life too heavy for you to bear? Are you depressed and confused? Have you lost hope that anything good can ever come out of your life?
Are you constantly oppressed by your burden of guilt and tormented by the devil? Are you in trouble and turmoil and confused about how to escape from life's dangerous path? Listen, I bring to you today the word of hope.
In Matthew 14:30, Peter who hitherto had summoned courage to follow the footsteps of Jesus who walked on the sea suddenly developed fear when the wind became boisterous. The result? He started sinking. The wind of life blows to make you sink but you need not fear. Let faith cancel your fear so you could remain strong on your feet. Your own life's boisterous wind could be constant failure and sickness. Fear not, there is hope for Christ will rescue you. How?
1. By His Word: If you believe in the word of Christ concerning your situation, you'll successfully navigate and come out victorious. 'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom' (Col. 3:16). The word of Christ will stare up faith in you. When Peter held on to the word of Christ, he had faith to walk on the sea but when he listened to the boisterous wind, he became fearful and his circumstance almost ruined him. Don't let life's circumstance defeat you. Know the word of Christ, believe it and act on it.
2. By His Presence: When Christ is with you, all the divine access you need is right with you. He says 'I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world'. (Matt 28:20) Be conscious of the presence of the Lord with you. If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31)
Peter at the point of sinking, he remembered that Christ was present with him so he cried loud unto him for help. Instantly, Christ stretched his hands forward to rescue him. If you too, conscious of his presence cry unto him for help, he'll answer you and help you out of your difficult situation.
3. By His Cross: There is power in the cross of Christ. On the cross, he blotted out all the handwriting and ordinances working against you. 'Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross' (Col 2:14) 'It is finished'. That's Christ's last word on the cross. All your life's trouble has been dealt with on the cross. You only need to receive strength to be an overcomer today. Follow these three divine steps and you'll navigate through life's trouble and danger victoriously.
