When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way. In the path where I walk men have hidden a snare for me. (Psalm 142:3). As we serve God with a whole heart & a willing mind, we sometimes face difficulty situations. Do not listen to people who says that when you convert to Christ, all will be rosy for you. Look at Paul: The Bible says: But the Lord said to Ananias: Go. This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles & their kings & before the people of Israel. I will show Him how much he must SUFFER for my name. (Acts 9:15-16). The Bible says: For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on Him, but also to SUFFER for Him. (Philippians 1:29). The Bible says in reference to Paul: We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. (2 Corinthians 1:8 b - 9a). Under such situations, your spirit will grow faint. I have been walking in this road since 1992. It's a PAINFUL road indeed but I thank God for being there for me at all times. The Lord has turned the tide from suffering mode to prosperity mode. Yes, 2024 is a prolific year for me. I will produce much fruit. The best is yet to come. Church, when you see our brothers & sisters suffering, do not undermine them; do not think that they have done something wrong. They may be suffering for being a Christian. God will have allowed such situations to refine them & prepare them for the challenges ahead. Look at Jesus,  Joseph, Job, etc. What wrong did they do. Prayer: Father, I thank you for Jesus. Thank you for being there for me as I was in the FURNACE of affliction. (Isaiah 48:10). Thank you for turning the tide in my favour NOW. Let your favor flood my life NOW as I approach 2024. I put to action angels under our complement. Let them minister to our needs. In Jesus mighty name we give you thanks, Amen.  Immanuel: God with us. Heaven Rules.
