You may have heard this statement before or may be you haven’t.
If you have, let me remind you…if you haven’t, let me tell you-this too shall pass.

In several passages of the Bible, you read “and it came to pass…”

Just in case you are wondering what “it” is, let me shed a little light.

“It” could be a financial crises…
“It” could be spiritual dryness…
“It” could be pressure on your job…
“It” could be indescribable pain…
“It” could be fear of the future…
“It” could be low self esteem.
Whatever “it” is, it shall pass.

God is the only permanent factor in life.
Every other thing will fade away…except it is in God.

No condition is permanent until God makes it so.

Now, don’t get this wrong-people prolong some seasons in their lives through their actions and inactions but the idea I am passing across is that anything that can be seen, that is man-made can fade and will fade away.

The same thing applies to every challenge you are going through right now.

It makes no difference how tough life seems, keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and the finisher of your faith.He’ll see you through it.

Always remember that tests precede testimonies…examination comes just before prommotion.
Every test is an opprtunity for you to show how much you have learnt.
When you go through funny phases in life, don’t let those faces faze you.

Maintain your trust in God.He never fails.

The stars may lose their shine.

The flowers may fade.

Men grow old and dies.

God’s word will never lie.

This too shall pass.

If you are a real dreamer,you would have achieved some things this year.

If you are real dreamer, you would have also had a fair share of delays,disappointments and perhaps detours.

There were some things on your to-do list that you haven’t checked off yet.You have some pending projects, unfulfilled dreams.You know what I’m talking about.

You thought you would be married by now.

You thought you would have completed the building by now.

You thought you would have sealed that deal by now.

You thought you would be a graduate by now.

You thought you would have started that business  by now.

You thought your debtors would have paid you by now.

You thught you would have paid all your debt by now.

You thought your ministry would have grown by now.

But…

You were disappointed, delayed and you are about to conclude that you have been denied.

I know how you feel and I just want you to understand that it is not over yet.If God created the entire  universe in six days then He can empower you to accomplish your goals within the last seven days of this year.

A lot can still happen but you have to try again.

That old proverb comes in handy, “If at first you don’t succeeed, try again!”

Don’t get bitter, get better.See every disappointment as the initiation of another appointment.See every setback as a setup for a comeback.See delay as opportunity to refine yourself and perfect your craft.

Remember that life is in stages and men are in sizes.Make up your mind to grow bigger at every stage.Get better.Grow stronger.You remember that when you were a kid, you didn’t start walking the first day you tried.You learnt how to stand first.The you learn’t how to stand without holding on to anything or anyone.Then you tried to take your first step.You fell several times yet you tried again.Eventually, after several weeks or months you were walking by yourself, then you started to run.

if you didn’t give up[ as a child, then you cannot afford to give up now.

Try again.

Make friends again.

Make that call again.

Submit that proposal again.

Build that business again.

Go for it again.

If you don’t go, you’ll never know.So do it again and one day, you will have a lot to gain.
