The Pressure is for a reason.

 


With my mouth will I make it known:

From the rising of the sun to its going down,
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord.

It is by His mercies that we have not been consumed. If it were left to the enemy, we would have been destroyed. It displeases him to watch us walk in our God-ordained purpose. That is why he keeps pressing—seeking to make us fail. His mission is clear: to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Yet, what he does not realize is that God allows pressure for a divine reason.

Just as in pottery, the more the pressure applied, the stronger and finer the clay becomes. In the same way, when life presses us, God is waiting for us to run to him. He is building in us the strength to carry what He longs to pour out. These blessings may manifest in our careers, academics, businesses, families, and relationships.

Each of us is a unique dimension of God that He desires to reveal to the world. Yet, in moments of trial, we often forget our true identity. Scripture declares in Psalm 82:6: “I said, ‘You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High.’”

God continually reminds us of our position in Him. But when we fail to recognize this, we fall into the enemy’s deception, embracing lies that lead us into darkness and instability.

It is time to return to God—acknowledging that we cannot help ourselves. We were never created to do life on our own strength, but by His grace. Until we truly understand who we are in Him, the light we think we enjoy may in fact be darkness. Only one Light has the power to illuminate our lives: Jesus Christ. When He comes, He quenches the darkness, silences the chaos, and brings peace, serenity, hope, and faith.

By faith, we draw from His presence, and step by step, we come into the full knowledge of our divine mandate. Then we realize: the troubles of life were never meant to destroy us, but to awaken within us a deeper cry for more—more than what the eyes can see.


Stay revived!

Can We Expect Only the Good From God?

Yesterday, I told a friend that being a Christian is a journey — a journey of becoming, of being transformed, made whole, and re...
