“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Corinthians 4:17).
Every great destiny must attract resistance and contention. The great men and women in the Bible always had something to contend with in the process of becoming what they were ordained to be. A good understanding of this truth will help you have a right attitude to challenges that come your way.
Contention is very selective as to where it operates. You will not find contention where there is mediocrity, failure and incompetence. Nobody fights a failed person. Satan never chases after useless souls, but he will hunt for the precious one, just like the adulteress (Proverbs 6:26).
So, when you find opposition rising against you, it is because there is greatness in you. Nobody resists a static object or pushes against anything that is moving backwards. You only push against an advancing object. If you will amount to nothing, nobody will bother you. If you are going nowhere, no one will worry about you.
David faced serious opposition from his own family and also from king Saul. That persecution drove him into the wilderness. He lived in caves and was on the run most of the time. But all these things happened to him because of the king’s anointing that rested upon him. When he was a nobody, Saul did not even know that he existed. But when greatness beckoned, he could no longer be ignored.
Beloved, you are going somewhere great and with God on your side, you will surely get there in Jesus name.
