*The world need to be overcome. God has call us to empower us to overcome the world.
We are overcomer. In order to be an overcomer, you must have sth to overcome. In fact there is a lot of obstacles to overcome in our life. It is easy to flow in the current but harder to go against the current.
All good things are found upstreams. It is easy to get into the boat to flow down the streams, but it takes effort to peddle upstream. U need effort to be an overcomer, there is exactly what God ask u to be,when u r born of God you are called to be an overcomer.
Overcomer = Problem Solver
Solving problems is a way of life. The world pays people top dollars to solve their problems. We are not the victim of problem but problem solver. We are to influence our city, our world and position ourselves where people will go to. Leadership is a tedious job. There is more problems den ppl in the world. We got to see problems on the different angle. We have to see life differently.
So we need to develop the skills, you develop the ability to be able to be problem solver. Develop patterns, develop understanding and you go thru it, you will be able to prove out and find thing quickly.
John 12:20-25
When u can solve problems, ppl will go after u. Jesus speak out of the revelation of ambassadors of Christ that will take over the “go-to” person of the ppl who need u to reach out to, Being a representatives of Christ to reach out to ppl.
Skills we can attain thru
1.Study.
2.Practice.
3.Observations
It is an art form when we develop the skills thru study, practice and observations and become an artists. U will become highly equipped with the skills and become the “go-to” person. A wise leader must reproduce himself. Thru our r/s with God, we have the anointing of God and able to help ppl.
Art, it is the skill attained by s1 thru study, practice, observations. Tt is y we need to learn thru ppl's experience, wateva u wan to be good at, u need to make it an art. We shld be able to read circumstances and not be overwhelm by it. An opportunity for u to use ur skill to advances ur skills in it when u engage the problems.
Luke 9:10-18
Problem solver think tt everything have potential to change the situation. U need to organise thing to solve the problem, putting it in order. You are not limited in wisdom when u r in God. Problem produce patience, endurance and maturity upbringing of character and confidence and trust in God. Admitting the present condition will solve the problem as denial will not solve the problem. U cannot heal a thing tt is not there. U need to admit the situation and allow it to be solved. We need to be honest of the present condition and do it without shame and these will allow u not to be paralysed.
Wateva u fail to change, problems will come back again. Dun let failure make u ashamed but be strong to admit it and do it without fear and u will be able to solve the problem. We shld not be ashamed of problem, dun blame others. Do without shame and blame, be honest and accept responsibility!!! Dun be vague. Write down ur problem so u are able to face it and not shun away in your mind. Prayer with total openness and truth for God's direction. You cannot solve problem at the same level u r created. Everytime u solved the problems, it take u into a new level. Great relationship is born out of problems. Move out of ur comfort zone and move into a new level, time to move up and move on to new stage of knowledge and responsibility and authority and deepening of our character.
Insight gives u the ability to discern the true identity of the situation. It happens when u prays and God gives u insight or when u brainstorm the situation. We have to keep asking and seeking.
Mt 7:7, James 1:5-6
Step away is another alternatives to solve the problem but it does not mean giving up. Cuz it allows u to take a step back and view the situation with a greater picture. Step away and do sth else totally unrelated to the problem as solution can appear. Do sth u like to do and u can be sure to be able to solve the problem, but dun stay away too long.
