*Topic:* How Strong Are You*

*Text:* 'If you give up when trouble comes, it shows that you have very little strength.'

Proverbs 24:10

Our topic tonight is How strong are you?
How strong ARE YOU??? Have you ever wondered about that???

🤔🤔🤔🤔
Let us take a look at our passage
'If you give up when trouble comes, it shows that you have very little strength.'

Proverbs 24:10

Wow, now this is no easy topic
another look of the topic is.......
the benefit of tough times or hard times or difficult times
it is sometimes, infact I will say it is difficult MOST OF THE TIMES, to ackonowledge this simple truth
tough times are coming
whether you and i like it or not, whether you and i believe for it or not... the fact of the matter is... tough times are coming
a saying goes saying....

When the Going Gets Tough...... Only The Tough Get Going
I remember as a youg child, i would just say this anyhow, not thinking what it meant but this is totally in line with God's word
the passage today can be paraphrased saying.... if you falter or fall or give up in tough times, then your strength is small... or then your strenngth is not as big as you had thought

as a parent (as humans) we dream and pray that our hildren will go beyond where will stop, infact we pray that at least they would do as much as we do here on earth
do you think God, Abba Father is different in any way????
NO HE IS NOT
tough times are a measure of your strength

hard times will tell you how tough u actually are
how similar you already are with your father......
if you falter in the day of adversity your strength is small
let us look at the eagle and eaglets for a bit
woooow
who here can say he or she hates eagles?????

please signify if you do
i am totally convinced that we all love eagles and that is prmarily because of how they look but also because of how far up in the air, they fly
do you know how mother eagle teaches eaglets to fly/??????
not by teaching them in the nest that ok, this thing on your chest are wings which you have to flap so and so to fly and glide in the air... NO

mother eagle one day just comes home to the nest to the hungry and eager eaglets and she pushes them off the HIGH nest off into thee vast emptiness and expecst them to realize they have wings, open them and fly
can you iamgine how scared that little eaglet is????
i can imagine it is thinking....
Chaiiiiii, my mum hates me o
of all the days, why would she do this to me today?

i had thought she hated me for sure for long...
Now I have proof she hates me true true

SIS STELLA: This woman must hate me!!!!
but does mother eagle hates her eaglets?
NO
exactly sis stella.... Enemy of progress
but NO......
... Tough times are the best time to learn and grow.

REMEMBER 3JOHN2
'Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. '

3 John 1:2

God calls you His beloved, the one that he LOVES and tells you what He wants
He wants that you and I grow
just like mother eagle
she wants her eaglets to realize that the things on their chests are not there for show
those things or appendages, are wings and they have to use them to fly and be able to reach to the top. 

God wants you to open up you wings of FAITH and fly to the top
why faith?
because You must believe in God and above all believe in God's love for you
We know who we are through tough time

the eaglet does not know that but must believe in mother eagle's love for it and realize that this pushing away is to teach it something, upon realizing that and opening its wings.... it will fly far and reach heights it had never dreamed of

‬but for the eaglet to do that, it had to be pushed off
it had to go through hard times
you and I must go through hard times
I am not saying all hard times are like this
but for sure some are
dear brother and sister, no test, no testimony
no battle no victory
can you imagine ho the eaglets feels for the first time flying?

it is EXHILARATING!!!!!!!

but it had to go off the tough end
TRUST IN MOTHER EAGLE
OPEN ITS WINGS
and GLIDE in the air
that is what God expects from you and I

Prov 3:5 ssays

'Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. '

What He tells you to do, just do....
does it fell like falling off a cliff?
that is why He gave you faith

‬: Faith will become the wings you need to glide through to the top
Faithful God You can never fail 🙏
but to use those wings of faith, you will need to trust in Him as it feels as if you have fallen off into a void

I depend on You
I depend on You
Jesus I depend on You.🗣🗣🗣

: if you falter in the day of adversity, your strength is small

no matter how tough you think you have it, The only temptations that you have are the temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can stand. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to stand it.'

1 Corinthians 10:13

‬: He loves you too much to let something come against you, that you cannot handle.

NO

‬.. Absolutely... He will finish what He started
You can

You can do ALL THINGS through CHRIST who STRENGTHENS you

You can do it bro

‬you can do it sis

‬Let us pray

Father in heaven, thank you for loving us more than mother eagle loves her eaglets and ever more than any human can ever ever love us. Lord we pray today that you help us to learn to trust you more, that like Abraham believed you against all hope, We also will believe in you when all hope seems gone. Thank you for every tough time coming will make us stronger and enable us to be of help to others who will also go through that in Jesus name.....
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks so much for joining in
