WALKING ON THE WATER

God doesn't want us to get scared of challenges, he wants us to walk over them. To walk on water means to walk over challenges.

"And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. Matthew 14:25"

Jesus wanted to get to his disciples. For so many other people, the means to get to them would be a problem but for Jesus, he created a means. The water was a challenge, but he walked on it.

"And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. Matthew 14:29".

Peter too walked on the obstacle. He overcame the challenge because he followed the voice of God. Nothings keeps a believer going like the voice of God.

You overcome your obstacles when you follow the voice of God. The voice you're listening to determines how far you'll go in greatness. The reason people do not go far in life is because of the voice of self-criticism. So many people because they gave up.

When you listen to criticism from people or your flesh you tend to sink. When you listen to the voice from the storm or challenge, we tend to sink. Jesus is the word of God, so while Peter focused on Jesus, he was holding unto God's word.

When you're afraid, you start worrying. Worry is a sign that you don't that you don't trust God. When we encounter challenges, that's when we should amplify our trust in God because the level of trust we have in him is how much he's moved to intervene in our issues.

During the ministry of Jesus, there were so many times he was compelled to help people just because of the dimension of faith that they manifested. Fear must be avoided so much 'cus it brings doubt. The scriptures defined fear as a torment, meaning it introduces pain to the life of a believer.

When we say "I can handle it on my own", we tend to sink more. As believers, we need to be transparent to our divine friends and spiritual leaders. Being transparent is a way to break out of storms quickly. We shouldn't put our storms in secret, that way we've abandoned it in darkness. We should open up, so that the light can shine on it and help can locate it. Darkness is the devil's workplace.

He's very active in darkness and he takes off immediately light is introduced. When only one man fights a challenge, he fights alone. But when he fights with the instructions of a spiritual person, more than one man fights. Most of the times when you say you want be alone, the storm amplifies.

There's no challenge too big, the issue is your eye sight. What we call the challenge Most times is not the challenge, the real challenge is our mindset. What kind of glasses are you viewing life with? We see problems so big because of the kind of lens we're viewing with.

Change your lens from reality to spirituality. The storm didn't stop, Peter came floating again because he changed his mindset. We must learn to see with the eyes of the spirit so we're not blind. When believers are blind, they fail to see that God is present even when God is so close. If God could turn his back at his only son, his priceless possession while we didn't even know him, then he's never gonna forsake us.

We were bought so expensively and he's never gonna trade us for anything. Sometimes he needs us to pass through the storm so we'll know how much he's with us. Thanks for stopping by!
