From Crisis to Opportunity - Pastor Joseph Clark

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. ― James 1:12

If we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us. ― 2 Timothy 2:12

How is the grace of God working in your life to turn crisis into opportunity for you to be an asset to God’s kingdom?

What was the worst dilemma you have ever faced?
I remember as a child when our family faced unfortunate human events. During those dilemmas, my parents would square their shoulders and condition us that “There is nothing that we cannot overcome as a family.” These were poignant moments for my family, and we did overcome and recover as a result of my parents’ faith, hope, leadership, and resolve.

I propose that we must embrace the challenges presented by difficult times. Before you go questioning my sanity, allow me to explain myself. After all, who would propose such a preposterous notion as embracing the difficulties imposed on us by our worst nightmares becoming reality?

Simply put, we discover our defining moments and glorify God during times of challenging circumstances.
“Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God's most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.”- Pastor Charles Stanley

The Greek philosopher Protagoras was famous for the Maxim: “Man is the measure of all things.” During our personally difficult times do we want the substance of our lives to be sweet or sour? Because God has taught us that we determine that flavor. We are the measure of all that is good and all that is intolerable in our lives. How? By receiving Christ’s salvation and becoming part of His kingdom. By walking our faith. By living our faith!

“The individual who knows the score about life sees difficulties as opportunities.”- Rev. Norman Vincent Peale

Is it easy? In all the world there is nothing more difficult and more worthy of the effort. And like any great endeavor, the more difficult the road, the more satisfaction lies in the completion of the journey.
What are your hopes and dreams? What are your ambitions? Have you got a plan to turn crisis into opportunity through Christ? When the worst happens to you and you are discouraged, defeated, downtrodden, or victimized, remember that God the Father is with you. “There is nothing that we cannot overcome as a family.”

Remain Calm, Carry On.

Remain calm in Christ and carry on in faith and hope.
With all my heart I wish you all the success, love, peace, and harmony that God wills you
