FAITH CAPSULE: What is the challenging situation that holds you?

John 11:1-44

Challenge can be a difficult task or problem that is hard to experience or exist in life.
When a challenge resists solution and persists with pain, it often takes over one with the challenge.
Are you with any challenging situation that denies moving forward physically, spiritually, or emotionally in living life? 
One experiencing a challenging situation has been taken over by a challenge until the deliverance of God takes charge.
What is having you, denying you not to live life as desired?
What is the challenging situation that is having you?
In the Bible, one Lazarus with the sisters (Mary and Martha) was in a challenging situation of sick that had him.  
Mark of untimely death had Lazarus with an attempt to take him away permanently. 
Lazarus was tied up and rolled up in a tomb. 
The challenging situation of sickness had Lazarus.
Lazarus was dead but regained life at the arrival of Jesus with thanks offering to God. John 11:41-43 records, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
As a believer or non-believer, what is the challenging situation that holds you?
Blindness is the challenging situation that held a man down the roadside until he had a visitation of Jesus for his deliverance. Luke 18:35-38 records, “Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he cried out, saying, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’”
Blindness had the man down by the roadside, and he could not move as desired. 
The challenging situation took over the blind man.
One with lameness as a challenging situation could not walk, bound to crawl.
With lame, there is no means to rise but bound to become a victim of stagnation in this wicked world.
In the journey of life where stagnation persists, delay and denial will disrupt getting to the expected end. 
Lameness in life can be a position or a condition where no man desires to be.
Lameness shall prompt stagnation in life.
Peter and John operated as agents that delivered a man that a challenging situation had his life.
Peter and John had more to offer him. Bible records, “And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, ‘Look at us.’ So, he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.” (Acts 3:4-5)
The lame man gave attention with expectation for his deliverance from the challenging situation over his life.
In life, with a focus on God with expectation for manifestation, deliverance shall be encountered.

Prayer for today: Ask against every force that is holding you down.
