Why is God putting us to the test?

God puts us to the test because he cares about us and wants us to grow in faith and knowledge of him. Being put to the test by God is simply a part of the process of growing closer to him.

He tests us to see if our faith in him is genuine (real). If God knows you are still preoccupied or unprepared, he will not advance you. He needs to know if you have what it takes to pass that specific request. According to Jeremiah 11:20, God puts his children's minds and hearts to the test.

If we fail, he teaches us so that we can prevail next time. God will reward us if our faith is genuine.

When you are being tested, you may feel as if he is silent; every teacher is silent when a student is being tested. A period of struggle during which you do not hear from God can be interpreted as a test from God.

Others may become discouraged by his silence and wonder if he truly loves or cares for them. Many people are tempted to give up praying at this point in their lives.

We know this because he put many people to the test in the Bible( Abraham, Job, Moses, etc). When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, they apparently did not expect to be rescued anytime soon. Everything they went through was worthwhile when they arrived in the Promised Land.

The Israelites failed only when they began to focus on where they come from rather than where they were going.

If you want to pass God's test, arm/equip yourself with God's word. When things get tough, keep God's Word at your side like a sword. The Bible contains all of the answers you need to prepare for and pass God's test.

Why You Find It Difficult to Recover Your Destiny

Have you ever felt like something precious was stolen from you—your purpose, your dreams, or even your sense of direction in life? Many people go through seasons where they feel lost, stuck, or unable to step into the future they desire. If you’ve been struggling to recover your destiny, there are often deeper reasons behind it. Let’s explore some spiritual and practical factors that might be making it hard for you to walk in your true calling, especially looking at the role of covenants and agreements. 1. Unresolved Spiritual Covenants and Agreements One major reason people struggle to recover their destiny is because of unseen spiritual agreements or covenants, knowingly or unknowingly entered into. These can include: Family covenants: Sometimes ancestors made pacts for protection, wealth, or power that now affect future generations. Personal agreements: Visiting spiritual practitioners, taking part in certain rituals, or even careless words (“I’ll never succeed”) can create spiritu...

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Understanding Destiny Swapping: A Hidden Agenda Over Your Purpose (PART 1)

Have you ever felt like something is off in your life—like you're living a life that doesn’t belong to you? You're talented, passionate, and full of dreams, yet doors remain closed and progress is mysteriously delayed. If so, you may be dealing with something deeply spiritual and often hidden: destiny swapping.
