These are the last days. There’s a lot of distraction in
the world today, enough to take your attention
away from the Lord and His Kingdom. There’re those who are
fervent in serving the Lord, only when everything is calm:
Their business is thriving, they’re getting promotions at work,
etc. At such times, they’re full of testimonies of God’s
goodness, loving the Lord and demonstrating His love to their
world. But once trouble strikes, they get discouraged. They
change their confessions and their commitment to the Lord
begins to wane. Don’t be that way; be on fire for the Lord all
the time. Be instant in season, and out of season.
Some others only serve God when they have
problems. They only want to “use” God to get out of their
trouble. They remember the Lord only when they have
challenges. But as soon as the Lord helps in their situation,
they disappear! You even have to look for them to testify.
Now, they don’t have time for the Lord anymore; they’re too
busy. How sad.
No matter what happens in your life, never allow
anything distract you or dampen your zeal and commitment
to the Master. If you allow anything take your attention away
from serving God, then you’re not steadfast; you’ve become
moveable, but the scripture says, “Be ye stedfast, and
unmoveable.” As you remain steadfast in serving the Lord,
the enemy will throw darts at you; refuse to be moved.
The Bible says, “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy

strength is small” (Proverbs 24:10). When everything is going
smoothly, be steadfast; and when it’s a period of adversity,
don’t change from being who you are, because no matter
what happens to you, you’ve been destined to win: “Ye are
of God, little children, and have overcome them: because
greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John
4:4).
