Luke 8:22-25
Overcoming The Storms In Life
Life is filled with storms. We cannot run this christian race without facing storms.Storms are inevitable. They are stressful, but they are not altogether avoidable. Some storms we choose ourselves may be by our errors in life e.g The disobedience of Jonah.Storms can be caused by haters and enemies of your progress.An example is the case of David from the hands of Saul.Some are chosen for us by God’s Sovereign will ( Job:1:19). He does not seek to kill us in the storm, but he longs to teach us through the storm.
I discovered in the text that storms occure for man to demonstrate Faith in times of Challenges. Jesus asked the disciples in vs 25 that where is your faith?
The storms in the boat was to prepare the disciples of Jesus of the Great Challenge that awaited their ministry on the other side of the lake. After the storm Jesus encountered a powerful demonic case in His Ministry ( Verse 26-39).
This miracle brought the whole city together as many came to witness the Testimony. After every storm in life ready for another level.
There are wind that are accompanied by storms.This storms surface in a form of persecution, betrayals, tribulations, stagnation, sickness,poverty ,draw backs,delay , frustration and all manner of evil attacks.
The truth is that after each storm there is calmness ( verse 24c) which leads to promotion. Be still and don't be afraid when the wind is blowing. For they that know their God they shall be strong and do exploit.( Dan 32:11). If you want to do exploit then be ready for storms.
Be it marriage , business , academics, job, ministry etc expect storms.
I see your promotion after that storms in Jesus mighty Name...
Storms usually come without notification.As a child of God be prepared for storms because there are storms in Life that will shoot you to your destination. The storm in the boat landed Jonah in the mouth of fish which later catapulted him to Niniveh his actual Destination.
Conclusion: You will face storms. The question is, Learn to deal with it.Always adjust your self in the midst of the storm and walk through it.Always will learn from it because in every storm there is a lesson. Always examine where you went wrong and Stop blaming or fighting others for your predicaments. If you are a Pastor stop using your storms in Life to make christains to hate themselves or hate other Pastors.(This is manipulation and seeds of discords in the body of christ).Seek Godly counseling from Spiritual authorities. God has ordered many of the storms we face and he is trying to teach us something if we will be good students of His Grace. After every storm there is a lesson.Always copy your notes in the midst of storms.
When ever you are going through a storms don't be afraid because Jesus is in the boat ,He will deliver you in Jesus Mighty Name.
