\u00a0\u2018While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal\u2019 2cor 4:18<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Is your focus on the temporal pain or the eternal gain? When you look at pain this way, it makes it bearable. Whenever you feel like the situation is unbearable, check, most times you are focusing on the wrong thing. We are able to bear pain when we are not looking at our current predicament. Rather, keeping our focus on the purposes of God for us. The greatness of the destiny God has planned for us and is currently playing out before our eyes. The tree that becomes the seat of the king passes through repeated carving, chiseling and shaping before it is pronounced ready for greatness. If your greatness is exceeding, there usually is a lot of pain, it comes with the deal. Every challenge you go through has a countdown in Heaven. Right now, the time you spend reading this devotional, that problem you are experiencing is expiring. You have not seen your best days yet. A new born baby is proof that someone has just gone through 9months of back ache and broke through. Calm down, because God is about to speak into your life. When there was darkness over the face of the earth, there was confusion \u2026 the Spirit of the Lord hovered and God said. To precede any dramatic change there has to be a dramatic word. God gives a word that looks impossible but be sure that it will surely come to pass. No Word of God will return to Him unaccomplished. \u2018Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou brought us out into a wealthy place<\/em>\u2019 Ps.66:12<\/a> (KJV). Before the introduction of the wealthy place, men will walk over you. Stop resisting the process because it will cause you to stay longer in the furnace. You are coming into your wealthy place. You need to let go of what God is trying to shape out of you through this process.<\/p>\n
