How Do You Translate It?

So many things happen to us in life. But the way we interpret them determines our response to them. The full knowledge of our identity is very important. When the Bible says that you are more than a conqueror, it infers that you cannot be defeated. No force can throw you off balance. Only victors translate problems into challenges. The right attitude is very vital for dynamic Christian living: this cannot be over-emphasized particularly in trying times.

Some folks act amoebic in the face of trial in their lives. They change their confessions and lifestyles to create ‘adaptive features’ for the time being. They change from ‘My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory…’ to ‘As the Lord provides…’ or worse still, ‘We are managing…’ They forget the ways of the Lord and all His goodness and opt for a lukewarm lifestyle - they are neither in the world nor in the Church. Nonetheless, things never get better for them, because their life is not consistent with the Word. 
Your consistency in the profession of your faith is one of the most essential of all Christian attitudes towards dynamic living. Remain unshakeable in speaking God’s word, no matter what you see or how disastrous the situation may seem.

God’s Word is any statement or message that is consistent with the plans, purpose and provisions of God. You must be wise to walk with a consciousness of your identity. You must find out what God says about you and the (temporary) circumstance you are facing. Then begin to speak the mind of God to yourself concerning the seemingly ‘dead’ case. Keep speaking and doing God’s word and every anomaly in your life will be put in check; in conformity to God’s word.

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying This is the word of the LORD unto Ze-rub-babel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6);




“But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”(John 14:26)

Your life is not a loose web of events and circumstances. God has very specific plans for you, so you must pay attention to Him. Always look inward for the answer. When you rely completely on the enabling power of the Holy Ghost, He will calmly and gently guide you. He will provide you with excellent ideas and give you simple but specific instructions with calm confidence.  Do them. They will yield excellent results and you will see that every challenge you face is a springboard to greater heights.

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” (Joshua 1:9)

You must put this scripture to remembrance; your God is with you anytime and anywhere you go. Countless times in the Bible, we see God encouraging His people to be strong and courageous. This is the essence: the knowledge of God’s word produces boldness, which leaves the devil trembling. When God commanded Joshua to be bold and courageous, Joshua in essence became all that it takes to be all that God said. By accepting God’s Word, he became the bold and the strong and he surmounted every obstacle on his way to possessing the Promised Land. The Spirit of God’s strength resides in all believers causing them to do great exploits in all life situations.
