3 WAYS TO HANDLE CHALLENGES One day i came across a verse in the Bible that made me very aggressive toward ignorance. Then i realized that often we attribute lots of the negative issues and experiences in our lives as Gods doing ...whereas God is looking down and expecting us to take hold of circumstances and appropriate the grace we have received in dealing with such challenges. What did i see? I will give you this from three other translations; Ecclesiastes 10:15 The labour of the foolish WEARIETH every one of them, because he KNOWETH NOT HOW to go to the city. - [KJV] The work of a fool so WEARS HIM OUT that he CANT FIND HIS WAY to town. - [ISV] Fools WEAR THEMSELVES OUT with hard work, because they DONT KNOW the way to town. - [GW] When i got this, i made up my mind, i wont be foolish in this life. NEVER! If i sense something not so right in my life as it ought to, i immediately sense foolishness is about creeping in somewhere... and i have got to get some wisdom, knowledge, or understanding! One thing stands out in all the translations; HOW. Theres really nothing, and absolutely nothing we go through in life which doesnt have an already established solution. Reason why the wise man says theres nothing new under the sun! Your case is not new. You probably havent just known THE HOW of it. And by this very absence of THE HOW we are told that people get weary with life. The word weary is worth a little more definition. Weary; Exhausted or get tired through overuse or great strain or stress [Wordweb]. Are you weary of anything in life? Is something of great challenge to you? Getting you weary, worn out, stressed, and you are being burned out? Do you feel frustrated? Well, settle with the fact that its no news. And make up your mind that there must be a way out! Ecclesiastes 10:15 gives us the possible cause The Labour of one who doesnt know what to do wearies him I help you out with 3 WAYS TO HANDLE CHALLENGES. The Lord made me understand that we can handle these challenges by first of all setting or readjusting our perspective toward its resolution. These set perspectives sets the manner in which they get resolved. 1 - DO SOMETHING FOR IT TO BE REMOVED. I explain. The Children of Israel applied this toward the world of Jericho. If you read your Bible you will see they praised round it seven times and the Wall [challenge/obstruction/difficulty] came fallen down flat. 2 - LEAP OVER IT I explain. Though David was a man of praise, who could praise down walls as the others did toward the wall of Jericho .., yet he boasted of being able to leap over walls. ...by my God have I leaped over a wall. - 2Samuel 22:30 3- WALK THROUGH IT I explain. These seems to be the greatest height of dealing with challenges. You ask who did this? Well, many in scriptures did! First David also did. I kept it out at the same verse of point 2 to show you here at point 3. Still in 2 Samuel 22:30 He said; For by thee I have run through a troop .... Oh my! He walked through it as though it never existed? Amazing. Well look at Jesus too! The Bible records this as to what happened when He came to the disciples. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then CAME JESUS, THE DOORS BEING SHUT, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. - John 20:26 Did you see that? Why did they have to specify that the Doors BEING SHUT? Many reasons of course! Amongst which was to show us that the door ...THOUGH BEING SHUT .. HE WALKED THROUGH IT! So you see, we can set our perspective to one of these three ways to Handle Challenges. And whatever way you set your mind on ... theres the HOW OF IT. I will give more details to the three different ways in PART 2 of this teaching. ONLY AVAILABLE AT SPECIAL REQUEST. Hope you learned something. God bless you Daniel Allo
