QUOTE OF THE DAY: “AN OBSTACLE IS A SIGN THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS IS SIGNIFICANT”
ANCHOR TEXT: “Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping”
Matthew 8:24.
n the process of persuading someone to your way of thinking or achieving a goal, it is normal that, there may be a stage of resistance. This resistance could be as a result of the person struggling to give up the position he already has or as a result of envy.
For anything worth doing there will always be resistance, for any place worth going, there will always be resistance. But for the fact that you are resisted does not mean you should give up the pursuit. From time immemorial, there have been obstacles and resistances.
Resistance is a statement from the devil that what you are about doing is worthwhile. If you look at what happened to Jesus in today’s scripture, the boisterous wind that confronted Him while they were on the sea was sponspored by the devil to forestall the deliverance of the mad man that was residing at the tomb.
God had arranged that the man would obtain his deliverance that day.When circumstances oppose you or when someone opposes you and marshals arguments contrary to yours, by implication, that person or circumstance has left open the opportunity for you to succeed.
If it is a person, he/she has left himself open for convincing, that resistance implies that something within him is responding to your ideas
