Do you measure your Christian life by your situation? “As a Christian, your situation is only a weapon God is using to preserve you, to prepare you for the challenges ahead, to reform you for a better position in Christ or to keep you for a new level in life. Remember as Christians, whatever level we find ourselves, we believe the best is yet to come.”

“Don’t despair! Unfavourable circumstances are the arguments satan uses to make people of God question their sonship. He aims to shake our faith and nothing more. For example, a situation where you begin to lament, murmur, complain, whine and question your faith in the presence of others, instead of honouring God before men as Daniel did.”

“Ask Daniel and he would tell you what happened in the lion’s den. Ask Paul and Silas and they would tell you what happened in the prison. Ask Job and he would tell you what happened when sores and boils covered his skin and everything he had was taken away. Even if God allows it as a trial, you must not think it strange and doubt your Guard. Don’t because of your situation cut off your dependence on God, your duty to God, your communion with God.”

“Do not say because you are in trouble, poverty, unfavourable situations that you are not a candidate of Heaven. Do not measure your Christian life by your situation!”

– Prophet T.B. Joshua
