That Problem

TOPIC: WHEN "THAT" PROBLEM COMES

There are some kinds of serious and disturbing problems that some believers goes through that makes them to begin to lose faith, there are problems that keep you up all night (especially the problems that requires urgency). Now I will tell you one of my real life experiences which fell under this topic- although I know that your own problem and challenge can be far bigger than these problem which I will be talking to you but I wrote it down so that you can learn from my little experience.

The story;

There was a time when there was an urgent and disturbing problem in the business (my family business in which I helped to run).

We being the oldest tenant renting a shop in a compound, we were entrusted as old tenants with money for contributions and others. So this time it was the electricity bills of the other shops that was entrusted into our hands as usual, but this time the business was not moving like we expected it to, the comebacks at that time was so low and close to nothing, we had needs, we needed to eat, we needed to buy some important things and there was no money so we dared to use the money that was contributed for the electricity bill bit by bit to clear our needs till the money that did not belong to us but to people was no more. And seeing as it was me who was helping to handle the business, the money for the electricity bill was paid to me and so I was responsible, for some nights when we came back home with very little or no income I will be restless dreading to go to shop the next day because we did not know when the cashier who comes to collect the electricity bills will be there in the shop asking for his money, and so anytime I go to the shop I feel so restless that anybody I heard saying anything concerning the payment of that bill my heart becomes troubled, I hate this kind of situation, I prayed and prayed but I prayed without faith but with abundance of doubt. And the next day when the cashier came to collect the money my first instinct was to go see who I can borrow from before other neighbours see me and my family as people who cannot be trusted with money, and when I went to the place I wanted to lend money from at that heated and hasty moment, the person I wanted to lend from told me he did not have anything to even lend out.

I did not know what to do as I was just a young girl helping to manage the business for the family and I had no one to ask and the next thing the cashier that came to collect the money left and told me he will be back the next day to collect the money I was grateful for the mercy of God but still in the night of that day I was still troubled even as I slept. When I was about to go to shop the next day my father reassured me that everything was going to be fine. And for me to write this story to you then you should know that God really surprised me and I went out of that issue dept free and it all happened better than I could imagined.

In the time of these problem I prayed and prayed, but I prayed with doubt, even though God reassured me that everything will work at out for my good at the middle of the problem I felt like asking God "God, where are you, why not come and help me out ".

I don't know what that your problem might be, it can be a financial problem, a material problem, a spiritual problem and so on, those problems that makes you weak, tired, unhappy and doubtful, those problems that will make you begin to doubt God. I am here to tell you that if I overcame then you too can overcome that problem no matter how big that problem is, just ask God for the overcoming anointing, and pray that he gives you the wisdom to become a problem solver so that you will look into problems and find the solutions to them, then you should look back to all the things God has done for you as a reminder then you encourage yourself becuse not all the time do we have someone to encourage us and then you jump back to your feet and move on, it might not be easy, but I tell you from the book of Matthew 19:26 that;"with men this is impossible but with God all things are possible".
