WHEN THINGS GET HARD

The first big truth I would like to tell you is that the earth has no problem which heaven cannot solve. It doesn't matter how deep the problem is or how far it has gone. God knows the root, but God in His infinite wisdom occasionally allows contrary winds to blow against us. This is because if you are going to become a champion, you would have to fight. If every time you are given a blow, you would look for somebody to retaliate for you, you will never really be a fighter.

I used to be the quietest boy when I was in school and I was winning prizes for The Quietest Boy of the Year. That continued until I received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, then the quietness ran away. In those days, there used to be somebody called Olu in my school. I was like a slave to that boy. If I bought roasted plantain, be would decide which one I was going to eat and which one that be would take. The same thing would happen whenever I bought other things like peanut. He would divide it, take his own and give me what be thought I should have. Anytime I told him that since the money belonged to me and I should get more, be would beat me up. This was going on for a while until one day, something said to me, "If you allow this to continue, this is how you will be going hungry in the class every day."

So, one day, I bought roasted plantain. As usual, be said, "Can I have it please?" I said, "No." Before be could look at my face, I gave him the first blow and before be could get up, I was on him. Then to my own surprise, he was now begging me to leave him alone. That was how I rescued myself. So if God just watches you every time and protects you against all winds that are blowing, you would never grow. This is why He occasionally allows contrary wind to blow against us.

An incident during the dramatic deliverance of the children of Israel from the bondage of Egypt provides credence to this truth.

In Exodus 14:19, the Bible says, "And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them."

This passage tells us that the angel of the living God moved behind the camp. The truth is that, no matter who you are as a Christian, this sometimes happens to all believers. A time comes when the angel that is leading you will move to the back and it will appear as if God abandoned you in the fire of affliction, whereas the reason the angel went back is to confuse and destroy the enemies so that you too can gather strength.
