LEARNING THE SECRET OF SAILING THROUGH EVERY SITUATION
Scriptures:
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength".
Philippians 4:12-13
EXPOSITION
The secret to sailing through every situation with great joy and peace is Christ. If you are aware that in Christ you have been blessed with all the heavenly blessings required for your physical and spiritual survival, you will always learn to draw your strength from him in every situation.
Apostle Paul learned to live above his situation because his live hinged on Jesus (the gospel). To some when they have plenty then the Lord is good. The Lord is bad, wicked, uncaring, heartless when situations do not work out according to plan, when they fall sick or run out of basic needs in life.
Don't let your situation dictate how you serve God rather let God dictate how you treat your situations through Christ.
Some have put their strength in their wealth, failing to render a genuine service to God. They are obnoxious and arrogant. Your salvation is not in what you have or don't have.
If you do all things through Christ who strengthens you, you will be humbled regardless of what you have or don't have. Set your mind on things above.
