Topic: DEALING WITH STORMS OF LIFE [Bishop David Abioye Devotional 15 June 2020]

Today: 2020-06-15

Storms are real

Storms are inevitable

Storms are vital elements of life

Storms are necessary occurrences of life

Storms will come whether you are prepared for them of not.

Do not fight storms

Do not react to them

Rather respond to them

Take advantage of them

Do not see them as your enemies but as companions to your destiny.

Do not fight storm but harness its power and strength to advance your destiny.

Do not make noise at storm but quietly glide through and over it into your destiny.

You cannot fight storm

Sail above it with grace and control.

In dealing with storms of life you need a combination of (courage) and (calmness).

– Courage to face it and calmness to manaover and control it.

Courage and calmness are both combination of virtues derived from the (power) and (guidance) of the Holy Spirit respectively.

When you are empowered you’ll become courageous and fearless and when you are guided, you’ll become strangely and unusually calm.

These two virtues are essentially access through faith in the Word, prayer coupled with fasting and praise.
