Very few adults will ever boast of never having to go through potential spirit-breaking hard times. Many times it seems as though one is specially singled out to be tortured by life such that it might even seem like the entire creation had conspired against you, with the endorsement of the Creator Himself. At such times, it may also seem as though your very existence was a crime. And as if that is not enough, fellow humans might even insinuate that you may be reaping a harvest from a wicked seeds you have sown in the past . This mostly takes place when one decide to chose a path in life that goes against popular practice. The moment you make up your mind to walk the path of honesty and honorable conducts you have signed up for leadership and therefore all eyes will be on you. You will be subjected to criticism and even ridicules. If your desire is to stand out and make a difference in life then stand and brace up for challenges. They will come in droves. Great men attracts them. Challenges gravitates towards great people as problems gravitates towards their solutions.
What do you think? Do you think it
should take an easy ride to the top? Every one would be there.
Challenges are path to the top. Avoid them and you avoid opportunity
get to the top. The problem you solve proves your worth and ushers you
to an advanced stage. This same principle holds true in every sphere of
life. At work, on the job, in business, in academics, etc. This is why
people look up to those who have experiences in life's matter. This is
also the reason why employers prefer applicants with certain levels and years of
experiences. You can not discount experience. It is a major key in life.
God Himself uses people with experience, hence He needed to train Moses
for forty years. He needed to train the twelve disciples for a time
before entrusting the Gospel to them. We go only to people we believe
or perceive to have insight in certain issues due to experience for
advice. When trouble surface in people's life they look to others with
experience for tips and advice. The challenge you run away from conquers
you. Until you conquer a height you can't climb it. Until you climb it
you won't go higher. Until you go higher you won't be noticed by those
who need you.
It is not compulsory that every one who under goes hard times must overcome. Many have under gone and gone under forever. But you undergo for the purpose of overcoming. No victory had ever been without a fight. Winning involves fights and fights involves struggles, pains and bruises and even wounds in many cases. No great hero is exempt from potential soul-crushing trials. Don't pity yourself and don't solicit for one. Don't blame anyone or the devil, for that matter. ''If life throws a knife at you, catch it by its handle'', says a wise man. Few great men have it handed to them on a platter. Great characters and quality of spirits and minds are formed in the furnace of fiery trials and storms. In his autobiography, the late Oral Robert once said, ''Every body who has something of value must be tested in the forge of the fire''. How true! Let me say it in another way: there are treasures in you that won't come to the open if storms do not blow your way in life. Storms of life comes to blow off the lids that covers your hidden potentials.

The oil of grace and beauty that the pressures of life will
press out out of you will lie bury in you forever if there are no such
experiences. When you go through storms, fire, hell or high
waters, you will loose somethings. The storms will blow away those
people in your life that aren't helpful. The fire will burn away those
shackles that binds you. The hell will take away those shortcomings that
limits you. The waters will carry away those dead weights that hinders
you. Trust me, the experience may not be sweat but you will be glad
you went through. God is the Alpha and Omega. He knows the end from the
beginning. If He is with you, you will land safely and profitably.. The
things and people that remains with you after all the experience are
those that really belongs to you. At the end of it all you would have
successfully built up the muscle of your faith.
If difficult assignment comes to you, don't dodge it. Accept it, it will expose you and promote you. Take it head on. Move from the task you have become comfortable with to a more challenging one. You will experience growing or ''growth pains''. But don't quit. Attempt things that the common man fears to attempt. Go and climb a mountain or move one today. Stretch out for something greater than you and your potentials will stretch. Take on a giant. Refuse to wrestle with your equal. Train yourself with tougher opponents. This is the paths to to the top.
