Move Beyond Transit Points

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Philippians Chapter 3 verses 10 to 15

Transit points are connecting points to your final destination. No matter how beautiful, how comfortable, how appealing a transit point is, it should never be celebrated and accepted as the final destination. This is because a transit point does not contain all the blessings God packaged for you in your final destination no matter how seemingly pleasant and comfortable it may be. It is only a transit point designed to cushion the limitations and challenges as well as some of the deprivations that come your way as you journey to your final destination.

Some transit points are usually not comfortable. Thank God for such transit points as they remind you of the need to proceed to your final destination. However, the very pleasant transit points can make a person forget the final destination and remain at the transit point, complacent and unwilling to move forward. This was what happened to Issachar.  Please see Genesis Chapter 49 verses 14 to 15. He settled at a transit point and became a band of slaves. This calls for great caution to keep moving forward at every point in time.

Every transit point has bundles of challenges that could mar or make the journey to the final destination. Jesus’ earthly ministry was a transit point; to accomplish the redemption of humanity and freedom from the captivity of the devil.

How to Get Out of Satanically Arranged Situations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You can get  out of satanically arranged situations easily. How? By doing what God taught you to do best and which you have always done to bring glory to the name of the Lord.

In such situations, you ignore the machinations and contrivances of satanically controlled people and keep at doing what God wants you to do.

Joseph is a classic example. In spite of the envy and hatred his brothers showed to him, he went out to look for them. Yet, they sold him into slavery. As a slave in a foreign land, Joseph continued putting his best foot forward until the devil struck again through Potiphar’s wife. How about in jail? He was still at his God given best and in the fullness of time, God enlarged his coast to the point that every gang up and conspiracy against him was silenced forever in Jesus mighty name.

The Apostle Paul preached the gospel in and out of season. Severally, his life was threatened and on a number of times had close shaves with death; yet he arose from every one of those situations to preach the gospel, even more determined.
