Facing resistance is not a strange thing in this world if you are up to something good, be it a cause, building a legacy, establishing a business, pushing against some form of evil or speaking up for those who can't.
If you stand for truth and propagate truth expect resistance!
If you have a good heart and do things for the greater good, expect resistance!
If you are contributing your own quota for the greater good of humanity, expect resistance.
If you choose to be light in a dark world, expect resistance.
If you discover yourself, your true purpose and start manifesting your real identity and begin to walk in your assignment; expect resistance!
If you choose to be more than average, if you choose excellence over mediocrity you can expect resistance.
You are born for greatness, you are born to manifest a great destiny.
The moment you realize this and choose to shine and not dim your light, you can expect resistance.
We live in a world where many people are very 'black and white' in their thinking.
Most people assess situations wrong, especially when it comes to their fellow man.
We live in a world where many people think they have the answers regarding their fellow man's issues and predicament but they're greatly mistaken.
These are people who don't know the solution to their own personal challenges, yet they act like specialists to others facing challenges.
Such people leave us more miserable than we were before they crossed our paths.
With so many 'experts' in the form of therapists, motivational speakers, advisers and so called life coaches out there, it can become a web of entanglement and complication if we are not well guided.
Some people don't help us get better, they leave us worse off, whether deliberately, ignorantly, sincerely or not.
Such people are not equipped to help us.
They remind me of the miserable friends of job.
These were friends who came to to sympathize with job during the affliction of job, but they were mistaken in their analysis and assessment of what job was going through.
One of them even concluded that job was going through his predicament due to sin and wrong doing.
Shallow people think that way, they assume every challenge, suffering and difficulty is due to challenged people reaping what they have sown or getting their payback for wrong doing.
Such people, no matter how educated they seem or wise their philosophy, have not spiritual depth.
They fail to understand people can suffer in this life for reasons they know nothing about, for choosing good or for being righteous.
We live in a world where people with good hearts can suffer and the righteous face challenges.
You can face resistance and suffer for doing the right thing.
In seasons of warfare and battles, which cause resistance, be careful who you believe, listen to and trust.
The challenges and resistance you face can be evidence of your strong position in life and destiny.
Great men face great resistance, great people face great trials and great destinies have great enemies.
The challenges you face and the resistance to your advancement can be evidence of your progress.
The story of Job comes to mind, he was progressive in all areas of life, just like you and I should be.
Job was enjoying the Lord's blessing.
He was fruitful in his family life and his business.
He was prosperous in the filed and at home, the Lord's protection was around him and all he had.
Job was a man of God, spiritually he was doing well, he enjoyed God's secrets and the candle of the Lord was over his home. He had a beautiful relationship with God and would often hear God.
The Lord was proud of him, God saw him as perfect and boasted about him.
This attracted the enemies notice for anyone God loves gets the enemies attention.
Anything or anyone God loves the enemy touches.
A lot of the challenges and resistance we go through happens because God loves us.
They happen because we have an enemy, the enemy of our souls.
When God is being glorified or about to be glorified in our lives resistance builds against us.
Some sufferings and resistance happen because of the kind of assignment and destiny those individuals have come into the world with.
The enemy is clever enough not to waste his time and ammunition on nobodies.
Resistance can happen because you're being productive.
Resistance can come because you are fruitful or about to be fruitful.
Your impact can attract resistance.
Your choice to do right can attract resistance.
Making a decision for righteousness and living by it can cause resistance.
The evil hearts of men can cause you resistance as a result of their envy, jealousy or illiteracy.
Resistance can be broken, defeated and overcome.
The Lord can also resist.
The Lord resisting you is not something you want.
If God resists you, who will help you?
It is in our interest to have the Lord on our side, not against us.
For it is the Lord who strengthens us to overcome every resistance against us.
It is the Lord who helps us overcome and defeat every resistance.
He gives us the wisdom to have the advantage over the resistance.
He gives us the knowledge to have the knowhow to crush the resistance.
He gives us the understanding to know the weakest link to the resistance we face.
By His power the chains of resistance are broken!
By His grace the burden of resistance are lifted off us.
By His authority the yoke of resistance is broken off our necks!
