1 Cor 10:13b "...but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."


Discouragement is one of the enemies against our miracles. I want to show you the way out of discouragement. I will highlight 7 ways today:

1: Soak yourself in God's word. The more of the word of God you know the better your chances of overcoming discouragement (1John 2:14).

2: Remind yourself of the past good days. When you remember the days when things were rosy, it will help you to know that the present tough time is not permanent, it will come to an end (Pro 23:18).

3: Remember that God is faithful. Remind yourself that God will not allow the temptation that will consume you to come to you. For He abides faithful (1Cor. 10:13; Heb.10:23, 11:11).

4: Place your confidence in God and not man. The Bible says woe is he that put his trust in the arm of flesh. Trust God with all your heart and lean not on people or your understanding (Ps 37:3; Prov. 3:5).

5: Wear your best cloth. Don’t let the clothes you are wearing tell people of what you are going through. Remember, you will be addressed by the way you dress (1Sam 1:18).

6: Rehearse your vision. The time of discouragement is a time to read to yourself the vision of your future. If you don’t have any, then write one and make it plain upon tables (Hab.2:2).

7: Pray more in tongues than in understanding. "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost" (Jude 20).

PRAYER: I pray that the Lord will intervene in whatever you are going through today in Jesus name!
