FEAR OVER FAITH?

 

I once watched a video of a lady who had been a vegan all her life but came face to face with real life temptation that not only tested her resolve but also exposed her vulnerability.

There she was, sat at a table with her potential inlaws who were not vegans. The father-in-law was offering a bite of meat for $10,000. I mean, 'Just one bite' will do me no harm, right? Then she took it, but that single act ripped her of years of discipline and Hardwork. Hmm.. The truth is; Until you are there, you are not there.

One time I had someone threaten to take something that was really important to me if I didn't dance to their tune, I was left to choose between what I kept sacred and what they were offering.. It was a situation that erupted never-before fear in my heart, and I ended up succumbing to the opponent wish. 

After the situation, I went back and started to question myself if I really loved and know God like I claimed.. I asked God severally how He would have expected me to handle the situation, afterall I didn't see any physical rescue or solution in sight. 

After several weeks, one night, in my privacy, God whispered that He had planned to take me to my next level of faith with that incident but I failed. It pained my heart seriously but I learned the lesson the hardest way. 

Daniel 2, 

The three Hebrew brothers were about to be thrown into a burning furnace, it wasn't a convenient situation, these guys knew exactly what would happen, but they stood their grounds, even though they were later thrown into the burning furnace, God was glorified. 

Daniel's case was more complex, lions are not our friends. He wasn't just threatened, it postdate action, but he didn't bulge, and in the end, a living lion become a daylight toy, GLORY!🙌 

I pray for you in the name of Jesus, your enemies will fail.! 

Dearly beloved, You are not qualify for certain level of victory and maturity with God if you are willing to give to ceasar what belong to Ceasar and not to God what belongs to God. 

This is because if you lose with Ceasar, you will win with God. 

The big question is; How many of us are ready for this next giant leap of Faith?
