2017 for me has started off pretty rough. On New Year’s Eve while I was cleaning my windows, out of no where, I moved the wrong way and ended up injuring my back, which was a FREAK accident! Now, my toddler comes home with a fever the other day and I ended up with the flu, SMH! This is my second time being knocked off my feet this year. I’m sure the devil thinks he has everything to do with these events, but, He could only do what God has allowed him to do, so through it all, I’m listening to what God has to say.
Since my consecration and still re-cooping and getting my eating habits back on track from the holidays, God has been speaking to me about Me. 2016 was a great year of progress, progress in my weight loss, progress writing my books, progress with the blog-site, progress with putting together B.O.O.M!’s first worship event and just finishing what God had placed on my heart for that year. I left 2016 feeling satisfied with the work of my hands and fulfilling the assignments He’d given me.
Now, it’s 2017 and I’ve been faced with setbacks in my body, not to mention, wrestling getting back on course with my eating habits. Not for nothing, I haven’t been myself in over a month, I’ve been in pain, now sick, and my appetite is all over the place. But also during this time, I was in consecration. It was then God revealed to me the spirit at work to derail me both now and in the future from obtaining ultimate health and wholeness and it’s the spirit the compromise. So while I’ve been home re-cooperating, God has been dealing with me about the choices I’ll need to make to see my vision to the finish line.
Compromise, I’m convinced is a curse. I’ve always over-simplified wavering in my eating habits, but I know now from the Lord, it’s a spirit and will rob and derail you of any progress you’ve made. Compromise is a destiny killer. So now that I am half way through my weight lost goals, I’m at a cross roads. I’ll have to make sacrificial changes that I may not always like, but those changes will whip my flesh in shape, put compromise under my feet and cause me to win and reach my promise.
Dealing with all of the above is not easy and it doesn’t feel good. On every side, especially when you step into the will of God, you’ll be challenged. Sometimes, the truth of God hurts. A lot of times, God will expect things of you that causes you to cringe. A lot of times, you’ll have to face the devil head on. Sometimes, after falling, you’ll have to ask for forgiveness from God and forgive yourself, shake off the guilt and shame and keep pressing. Every setback isn’t always the devil, it’s God trying to quite you to get your attention and speak to you. I’m now forced to rest and sit still whereas before, I didn’t know how to.
As I sat in prayer somewhat heavy, God called my attention to this scripture:
2 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV)
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ
That was a rhema word for me. No matter what we go through, the challenges we face or area’s we need to get right before Him, His word says,
Christ will ALWAYS LEAD us in TRIUMPH!
He didn’t say sometimes, most times, but ALWAYS in ALL THINGS at ALL TIMES Christ leads us to victory. I’m encouraged by that because I know that no matter where I’m struggling, as I trust Him, step out on faith, as work on the area’s He’s calling me to improve and come what may, even while afraid,
Christ will ALWAYS Lead me, us, in TRIUMPH.
So I can rest, victory belongs to me and all I need to do is exercise my faith and trust in Him and work out my souls salvation. Be encouraged today,
VICTORY IS OUR INHERITANCE!!!!!!
