Life is a personal adventure and can come with challenges that require persistence and commitment to the things of God. We are aware that no cross no crown.  In the bid for the next level move, there will be test and tedious assignment to pave way for success.  Challenges tend to bring out our character, the ability to adapt and draw motivation. Be encouraged that you are created to conquer, as a conqueror, as a warrior and not to be worried. Remember that your challenges do not mean that you are forgotten forever; the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. Daniel 11:32b

Consider the example of a man that was confronted with mountain of challenges and opted to hang himself in the land of lepers. As he was approaching the place of suicide, he saw a naked man singing praises for the gift of life with the conviction that when there is life, there is hope. The next fellow he encountered was a leper, whose hope of recovery appeared slim, but, likewise, was praising God for the miracle of a voice and appreciating daily living knowing that other colleagues are dead and forgotten.
Recently, on the TBN channel there was a guest without limbs, missing arms and legs, praising God. He has traveled the world preaching about the power in praising God despite his disability and challenges. Brethren, as long as earth remains, challenges will come to test the level of our relationship with God and trust in Him.

How do you deal with your challenges?  You must take the following steps:

Stand: Take a stand as a soldier; Moses reaffirmed the word to the hearing of the Israelites when they panicked concerning their fate at the seemingly helpless case of the red sea in front and menacing enemy behind. Moses spoke under the unction of the Holy Ghost thus: Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today: For the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall again see no more forever.
The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:13-14
Likewise, entrust the challenges you are facing into the hands of the man of war, you will be an onlooker in the battle as you pray standing on the rock of ages. Stand up in faith; you will conquer in Jesus name.
Seek, and ye shall find Matthew 7:7b, seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. Isaiah 55:6

See scripture: Apply appropriate scripture that will suite your situation; "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success". Joshua 1:8
Surrender all to Jesus: Surrender in faith and don't give up easily, don't give up to fate;
Help is on the way.

Serve: The time you are going through challenges, is not the time for blame game, complain or pity party. It is the time to stay serving the miracle maker because He will make a way, if you are relevant and consistent in His presence serving and persevering. Ruth passionately followed Naomi in spite of the challenges and seeming hopelessness.
The Shunammite woman gave passionate service to the man of God notwithstanding her childbearing challenges, while Zechariah was serving God as a priest he was compensated with the gift of John the Baptist as son.
Sing praises to God because when praises go up to heaven, blessings come down to wipe away your tears.  Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God while incarcerated and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed".
Acts 16:25-26
I have been a praise team member and I have applied my praise technique in the face of terrible challenges and, to the glory of God, I have experienced extraordinary testimonies.
You are graven in the palm of the maker; therefore, He has a purpose and a strategic plan for your life.
Jabez conquered his own challenges with prayer.  His mother named him Jabez, as an expression of her sorrow during his birth.
But Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
1 Chronicles 4: 9-10
Cultivate an attitude of praising God in any situation of your life.  On the other line listening and passionately waiting to answer you with solution is Jesus. Thus, praise the Lord like Paul and Silas in your challenges.
Do not develop negative attitude but be an icon of power and encouragement to others.
It is okay to call and cry when you are in the midst of challenges. Don't go and call crisis line but the helping hand of heaven according to Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will answer and shew thee, great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
Cry out to God during emergency.  The cry of Blind Bartimeaus attracted the divine attention of Jesus.  God is waiting for you to call and cry out; he will attend to you with divine speed.
Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord:  Lamentation 2:19
Be courageous because "many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivered him out them all". Psalm 34:19
Hold fast to the prophetic promise of God as is written for your case in the Bible; Jesus is speaking to your situation. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Finally, persevere with all your strength, you will soon conquer and laugh.  The woman with the issue of blood pushed and pressed until she touched the elm of Jesus' garment. Cast aside negative thoughts, believe you are next in line to be celebrated and that the rest of your life will be the best!

Lifting For the Next Level
The Holy Heaven determines certain season of life
With which the chosen are lifted for reasonable service
Without a shadow of doubt, this is the divine season
For the elect to move forward from unknown to recognition

Although it is not by might but by supernatural support
Lest any mortal being should boast of personal intellect
It is by divine design for House of Praise to go to the next level
For this great benefit, we appreciate God for his wonderful deed

Without hint of hesitancy, this is the Lord's doing
That we should enter into the promise by divine making
From henceforth we'll soar as eagle to higher ground
And go from glory to glory as divinely mandated

No more prolong, the journey to next level continues
We will abide with the most High in grace and goodness
Never to deviate but to be persistent in commitment
Knowing that he that carried us thus far will forever perfect. Amen!
