BUILT –IN SOLUTIONS

MEMORISE: ‘There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able: but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it. (1 Cor 10: 13)
READ: Psalms 9: 13 – 17

‘There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it’ (1 Cor 10:13). After David brought down Goliath, his opponent, it was the sword he had intended to use on David that cut off his own head. This may be difficult to believe: the solution to your problem is inherent in that problem. The Scriptures are replete with examples to that effect.

In each test, there is a hidden testimony. Every Goliath has a weak spot. Each problem comes with a hidden solution. As the above Scripture says, in that seemingly tough and unbearable trail, there is a way out. All problems are temporary and if you can face them in the Name of Jesus, they will soon reveal their solutions.

The lions were hungry. Satan designed a scheme through his agents to feed them Daniel. God intervened and Daniel Came out alive – and those same agents became the food of the lions! Until that victory, Daniel had the problem of being surrounded by several enemies. They planned to eradicate him, but only succeeded in eradicating themselves. Human designed a gallows on which he planned to hang Mordecai. Go intervened and the tables turned. Human was hanged on his gallows. In 2 Chronicles 2: 1-25, the kings who pooled their resources together to destroy Jehoshaphat ended up destroying themselves.

In Psalm 7: 15-16, God says that the pit of destruction, failure or poverty that the enemy digs for you is where he will be buried. Whatsoever your enemies plan against you will return to their heads. Anyone who touches you, touches the apple of God’s eye. And God will defend his Name upon your life. Do not fear henceforth, as long as you are doing God’s will and living a holy life. Any problem that targets you will soon be history. Ask God for the way of escape. Ask God to open your eyes to see the solution in every problem.

ACTION POINT
Read Psalm 7: 15-16. Ask the Lord to let your enemies
be buried in the pit they dug for you.
