Circumstances can be visualized as if you are in a circle and you are surrounded with all kinds of issues preventing you from moving forward to fulfill your purpose. You know the right thing to do but you cannot help yourself. Have you ever felt like you are in a river and you are about to drown?. You have two choices you either swim or you drown. Sometimes we find ourselves in the river of life and if you don’t know how to swim, you have to scream and shout for help or you will drown.

I can never forget when my children were growing up, we went on a family holiday and I was at a swimming pool with my children and my husband was in the room. I was lying down on the chair and the children were playing around the pool, I can’t really swim and my boys are not very good either. All of a sudden, I looked around and I noticed one of my sons is missing and I saw his head under the water, knowing he cannot swim, but the older sister knows how to swim, I told her to jump in and save her brother but my daughter froze and could not move. Till today, I still can’t explain why she cannot move, all I know is that the devil is wicked.

I started to scream and I shouted so loud, thank God, a man came to my rescue and saved my son. Listen there is a lesson here, that situation could have changed my life. If God had not intervened, I would have lost my son, I probably would have blamed my daughter for not rescuing her brother and my husband will not forgive me for not looking out for our son. Do you see how circumstances can alter destiny?. Imagine I have slept off when this incident occurred believing all is well, sometimes we can be too relaxed and the enemy will creep in when we are not aware and probably too comfortable (Matthew 13:25). My son later told me he was pushed into the water, he was not there by his choice, sometimes we found ourselves in a situation that we can not help ourselves, you are pushed to it or you are desperate and you need help, but sometimes when you have given up on life, you just let go and stop fighting.

I am speaking to someone reading this blog, your life is worth fighting for. If you don’t have what is worth stealing, the thief will not rob you. Do you ever wonder why the devil is attacking you at every side, it is because you have something great inside of you that he did not want you to give birth to. He wants to steal your life and he is telling you how worthless you are and that you cannot amount to anything. Don’t believe the lies of the enemy. You have to be determined to push through regardless of what is staring at you in the face.

If you are still comfortable with your situation, you can not be aggressive to break through because you have settled for less. You have taught yourself to live with pain, sickness, and puberty. If you don’t stand up and fight for what belongs to you, you will lose the little one you are holding up to, you think the devil will leave you because you are not fighting, the devil’s assignment is to steal, kill and destroy. So you see if he can steal from you, he will be back to kill and destroy. You have to put on the full armor of God and fight for what belongs to you (Ephesians 6:10). You need to change the way you talk and your negative energy.  Don’t accept every rubbish that is dumped on you.
