With all the adversities and challenges that we face everyday, sometimes we forget that the Lord wouldn’t give it to us if we couldn’t overcome it. The Lord tests our faith and character so that we can be promoted to the next level. We can’t cheat the test, we need to pass it. We cannot tell God not to give us test otherwise there will be no growth, no victory, no testimony, no conquest and we will stay where we are. It’s sad to hear when someone tells that he did not pass the test, and he would start back at square one and repeat the same process. Why not pass the test and move on to the next level? It’s difficult to start all over again.

In everything that we do, test will always come so that we may conquer it. When we give up, we lose and we fail. When we allow the negative things to affect us, we fail; when we allow our past mistake to crowd our mind, we fail; when we allow frustration, hurt and disappointment, and resentment to affect us, we fail. When we let fear due to past failure get back to us, we become paralyze and we fail to act. The antidote to all of these is to look at the promises that God have given us. Jeremiah 29: 11 (NIV) says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” and Philippians 4: 13 (NIV)says “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” In order for us to win the battle we should trust God. We don’t rely on ourself, because our strength is limited. Besides, whatever happened to us, God has purpose and He wants us to learn lesson out of it. But let me also remind you that we have free will, therefore, we can choose to do what is right and pleasing to His sight. When things go wrong, we can always go back to Him and He will ready to forgive, just make sure not to commit the same mistake again.

Whatever it is that we are going through, He can keep us from falling when we trust Him and when we call on His name. He will always be ready to save us and help us to be victorious and fulfill the destiny that He has for us.

This song reminds me that God never change, that’s why I have decided, I’ll go back to Him. He is the only one who can give me real joy, satisfaction and success. And so I repent for all the things that I did which do not glorify Him.

Holy, You are still holy
Even when the darkness surrounds my life
Sovereign, You are still sovereign
Even when confusion has blinded my eyes

Lord, I don’t deserve Your kind affection
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection
Of Your love

And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I’m at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up ’til now
It belongs to You
You are still holy

Holy, You are still holy
Even though I don’t understand Your ways
Sovereign, You will be sovereign
Even when my circumstances don’t change

Lord, I don’t deserve your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth
I want my life to be a sweet devotion
To You

And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I’m at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up ’til now
It belongs to You
I belong to You

And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet
You are my Saviour
And I’m at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up ’til now
It belongs to You
I belong to You
You are still holy
You are still sovereign
You are still holy, Lord
You are still righteous
You are all-knowing
You are still holy
