As humans in general and Christians specifically we are called as conquerors and warriors of light. A true Christian life style is not one free of any obstacle. On the contrary, we’re called to stand in the fight for the good of others.

When God created earth and man, he ordered us to conquer it and grow strong. Humans are called as rulers. But before we can rule, we need to know how to stand tall, also through trouble.

If you have the image of Christian life being a life where God takes all trouble away, you’re mistaken. Christian lifestyle is about living in Father’s peace. Not peace from trouble, but peace from trouble’s pain.

Wrong focus in Christian preaching

A lot of Christian preaching are far to one sided. Much is too focused on breakthrough and too little focused on process and endurance. “Today is your day”, many pastors state.

Yes, God provide super natural breakthrough. But more often than just magically take away trouble, he provide peace and Spiritual principles for us to over come the trouble.

God provide us with love, joy, peace, and the tools of which we can conquer. But then it’s up to us to walk through the process of conquering, in faith.

Don’t believe me? Study the life style of the apostles and first disciples. Was it a obstacle free life style?

By living close to our heavenly Father, in His Spirit, His peace will embrace us on all sides. By this peace, we can walk through anything, just like the apostles. By this way He makes us strong in Him, rather than quick fix addicts.
