Your Attitude towards Problems (CG) + Service 2
OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS PROBLEMS (CelGrp)
Successful people are problem solvers and possiblity-thinkers.
7 ATTITUDES POSSIBILITY-THINKERS HAVE TOWARDS PROBLEMS
1. Problems are INEVITABLE
A problem-free life is just an illusion/fantasy
Once u develop a mentality that problems are inevitable, ull NEVER be caught unaware/unprepared
-Jhn 16:33, Jas 1:2
2. Problems are TEMPORARY.
Every problem has a limited lifespan.
Every problem has a way out
Hope = holding on and praying expectantly.
-1 cor 10:13, jer 29:11
3. Problems hold POSITIVE OPPORTUNITIES.
theres always 2 sides to a coin.
how we act reflects what we believe.
-gen 50:20, phi 1:11-13
4. Problems test our FAITH.
your problem will never get smaller, you have to be BIGGER than your problem.
-gen 12:1-5, 10
5. Problems may be confirmation that we are living for JESUS.
whatever God loves, the devil hates. -> he has come to STEAL God from you, to KILL your dreams and visions and to DESTROY your self-image, your thoughts and attitude and ultimately your life.
-3 Types of sufferings:
a) Demonic suffering - Job
b) Suffering for righteousness' sake - 2 tim 3:12
c) Suffering for your own foolishness - gal 6:7-8
6. Problems are CATALYSTS for personal growth.
We dont know the depth of our character until we see how we react under pressure.
God is more interested in your character than your comfort.
-jas 1:2-4
7. Problems draw us CLOSER to God.
Learn to let go and let God -> give Him your burdens. ("God, my problem is now Your problem", "This battle is no longer mine, but Yours..")
-Psm 61:1-2
MORE THAN CONQUERORS (Service 2)
We are born to win.
-Rom 8:31-37, Jhn 16:33
What defeats you when you're young, will conquer you when you're old.
3 THINGS TO CONQUER:
1. Conquer YOURSELF
before you can take on any other obstacles you must first conquer yourself
conquer the 'unholy trinity': Me, I and myself
2. Conquer the WORLD/NATIONS
-1 Jhn 5:4
age is not a limit. you are never too young.
once you limit yourself, you limit your life.
the greatest battlefield is in your mind.
3. Conquer the EVIL ONE
1 Jhn 2:13-14
Conquerors are submitted to God and are dependent on Him
Only IN Christ, we are MORE than a conqueror.
Jesus is the conqueror because He overcame death, sin and the devil himself. But since the Conqueror lives inside of us, thus we are MORE than conquerors IN Him. -> u cannot be MORE than a conqueror WITHOUT having a Conqueror in you.
Example:
a railway train, no matter how strong and fast it may be, is dependent on the track. only when its on the track that it gets its power from, and its sense of direction.
likewise, ONLY when we are on the 'rail' of Christ, can we be MORE than a conqueror.
