EMBRACING THE DEVINE STRUGGLE

There is no commitment without dedication – the two go hand in hand to produce greatness. Words of by the elect of God, Apostle Jackson Kgopolo before diving deeper into speaking words of inspiration to the congregants, to not give into what is meant to cultivate and exalt them to the next level of their lives – on the first day of the Easter convention held at the city of all things precious, Francistown. 

Step out of your comfort zone and resist the urge to act on fleeting emotions, for they often lead to peril. The scripture in Genesis 12: 1 reminds us of God’s command to Abraham , instructing him to leave his comfort, the land, and familiar surroundings. In this the man of God says that growth and strength are not born from avoiding challenges, but confronting them. You cannot dodge your mountains and expect to rise higher. True progress demands courage and the willingness to face trials head-on.

Remember, your life is someone else’s inspiration. Therefore walk with purpose, for challenges are the divine curriculum we ought master in order to graduate into our destiny. Stagnation thrives where growth is resisted, hence many remain trapped in cycles of struggle simply because they refuse to evolve.

Even Jesus endured His own fair share of trials. Yet, He declared victory over death in John 19: 30 when He said “It is finished” – a proclamation that echoes through eternity. What seemed like defeat was actually divine alignment. Those who crucified Him misunderstood His words, unaware they were escorting Him to His appointed triumph. Your battles, too, are leading you to a divine encounter.

Remember Jacob wrestled with God and became Israel, Daniel faced the lions’ den and emerged unharmed, whereas Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked through fire and met the Fourth Man. Your struggle is your meeting place with God. Rejection and isolation are where He reshapes you for elevation.

So thank God for your disappointment , for it is setting you up for divine appointment. Your cross is not your end, but rather your passage to resurrection. Stand firm and face your giants. 

Your breakthrough is on the other side of obedience
