Discouragement is one of the most fatal weapons of the devil. Many families, plans, communities, nations and ministries have suffered and bowed to this weapon. I will share with you today on how you can stay above discouragement!
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
You need to understand that God has anointed you! You are anointed to be victorious in every area of your life — a good marriage, career, children, company, projects and, of course, a good nation! You are anointed for it. Everything Joseph touched flourished! (Genesis 39:3).
But pastor, how can you say that when my life is not moving in the right direction? Understand this, you are born again now! You live by the anointing. You live by faith! As long as you walk by faith, discouragement can’t lay its hand on you.
But the moment you begin to look at the economy, the pay-slip, the bills at home, the scan from the surgeon, and all the negative reports in front of you, discouragement pounces on you.
Before long you are stressed, depressed, oppressed and lose all focus in life. That’s when spouses begin to cheat, teenagers go for drugs, good men prefer alcoholism and spending what they have at the pub than at home where family is suffering, parents shout at children for nothing and everything begins to go wrong.
It all started with one thing — discouragement!
With this weapon the devil has made you stoop so down and been sinking you year after year.
Instead of coming up, you have been going down. You have become so discouraged such that you are not seeing where you are going.
Discouragement is like mist or fog, it limits visibility; it drains energy, and binds progress! Little can be done when it’s there.
Discouragement is just when you want to give up. It’s when any minute you can throw in the towel. Any minute you can walk away from that marriage, any minute you can leave the company, leave the church, leave your duties and worst of all leave who you are!
This is your article! It’s not over! The anointing breaks the yoke of bondage! (Isaiah 10:27). O hallelujah!
I know I am talking to somebody right now! I am talking to you. You are discouraged because nothing is happening. But you see the car doesn’t move when you don’t do anything. Ask any driver.
Things are not moving because you are not moving. You are not moving because you think you are going nowhere! You can’t see the light. By so doing you weaken the anointing in you.
Friend, we walk by faith and not by sight. Don’t let negativity hold you from giving your best in that relationship or project. Give your best! Ignore the negativity. We reap what we sow.
If the harvest seems to be delaying or never coming — it will surely come, keep sowing good seeds wherever you go and in whatever you do. We overcome evil by good, not evil by evil, No!
But Bishop what you are saying is not easy? That’s why in walking by faith, we walk by one thing — trust in the Lord. He knows the way. He knows the life of joy, peace, winning, and staying above discouragements.
Many spoke badly to him on the cross, yet he stayed focused and prayed for the very people abusing him; Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing.
It’s not easy to move in the anointing if everything around us is negative. We have to rise up a little bit and go higher. You can’t move in God’s anointing and victory when your heart is angry.
When hearts are angry, faith is dormant. Eagerness, excitement, enthusiasm, passion, and above all hope gets trapped with the long, painful claws of discouragement.
I command you to rise up, shake yourself and trample that creature under your feet. You are anointed. You can do it. You are a champion. You were born for this! For with God all things are possible (Mark 10:27).
