Believers' Character and Conduct, Machaira with Apostle Bennie

EPISODE 1036 – HOW TO DEAL WITH DISAPPOINTMENT

CHRIST COMMONWEALTH-COMMUNITY

The Love-Life Agency

When everyone fell back at the presence of Goliath, David showed up with God and was an encouragement to Saul. Amid this hostile pluralistic post-modern world, show up everywhere with Jesus, and be an encouragement to your Pastor, leaders, and other faithful brethren in Christ. Selah.

HOW TO DEAL WITH DISAPPOINTMENT 


“so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.” 

2 Corinthians 2:11 (ESV)



As believers, we have been made victorious through Christ Jesus.

The scriptures referred to believers in Christ as “More than conquerors” (Romans 8:37). This means to have a decisive victory. The Greek word is “hupernikaō”, which also means to vanquish beyond.

Through His work on the cross Jesus, “stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority and marched them naked through the streets.” (Colossians 2:15).

When Jesus died, He did not become a prisoner but defeated all the cohorts of darkness and made them His prisoners.

This earned victory of Jesus was for our benefit. In Christ and through Christ we have triumphed over the evil one.

The adversary knows he has no power over you. Though he is a defeated foe and rendered powerless, he still has his deceptive methods and schemes or designs.

 And as people of light, we are not to be ignorant of the designs of the devil. 

The devil cannot have any victory over the believer in any close combat, because of the victory of Christ. 

Thus he uses secrets and projectiles which seem harmless yet deadly, to attack and destroy the faith of the saints.

In today’s episode, I want to emphasize one of the deadly missiles within the devil’s schemes.

He uses this to shipwreck the faith of the brethren and to disrupt them from fulfilling God’s purpose for their lives.

Ignorance is the major challenge of most believers. And through this discussion, you shall receive light to continuously exercise your victory.

I write these things to keep you reminded of ways to enforce your victory and not become prey to the enemy.

Disappointments.
This seems harmless but can destroy the confidence of a believer. Most disappointments are basically high expectations not met.

The adversary takes advantage of this feeling of displeasure to steal and crush your joy.

By how God wires the believer’s faith through His Word, a believer shouldn’t give room for any form of disappointment.

By the knowledge of God’s word, a believer must never see disadvantage in any situation. Whether an expectation wasn’t fulfilled because of your mistake or failure or that of others, you must remain composed. Understand that, sadness is not of God. 

Disappointment is a sad feeling. Such feelings may come, but shouldn’t be given a seat.
 
As it rises within, you must quickly send it off. To resist the feeling of disappointment is to also resist the devil.

No matter the worst situation that happens, there is a divine appointment which can be activated.

This is not just to motivate or stimulate your mind. This is the reality of God’s word. This is how you have to think.

And this doesn’t suggest you live to allow any wrong or evil thing to happen around you. This is to help you set your heart on the stability of the word.

When an unexpected situation happens around you, don’t allow its wind to move you. Stay strong on the word of God.

Always remember this:

“So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his  designed purpose” Romans 8:28 (TPT)

As a believer, you should have great expectations, but your confidence should be in the glorious plan of God for your life.

There are people who focus more on their expectations than how God is building them up.

When things don’t play out as you expect, refuse to be broken. Pay attention to what God is saying to you and set your heart on it.

Trust God’s training! Focus on God’s plan for your life and His goodness, then you will always live above disappointments.

Selah.

I have come to a place to know that no matter what happens, disappointment is not of God. Especially when it is prolonged.

God uses alot of things to train us and some delays are not even delays in the first place.

To not be outwitted by Satan, we should understand that when our plans dont happen as we expect we can learn from them and move on picking the relevant lessons God communicates.

The new creation can never be defeated on any day in close combat with the devil hence whatever happens we are never disadvantaged

What is of our self doesn’t have any sure foundation and cannot be depended on
That is why God sent his son to bring us the victory. It is nothing of ourselves and all Of Christ so he is our firm foundation to win in all things so when things don’t go as expected we are not supposed to look at how we failed in our strength and think it was worthless but we should stand in the surety that Jesus didn’t fail so no matter how the situation looks like I would not fail because that is Truth. It is a lie and a boost in the self to think you cannot do anything because you failed it couldn’t achieve a specific task
Indirectly we are saying we believe in our works than the victory of Jesus on the cross.

God knows Jesus will not remain in the tomb that is why he gave him a name above all names
A name unto heaven given to men that we must be saved. So out of this comes our victory so we must enforce it and have it deep in our consciousness that Jesus won so I win
