Don't run away from Challenges. Challenges make champions.

Be bold and daring like a lion and pursue your dreams regardless of the challenges or risks. Don’t run away from challenges. Challenges make champions.

The human life is full of challenges. Financial needs or emergency, relationship breakup or marital issues, health crisis, childbirth problems, layoffs, friends and family disputes, business problems.

Sometimes when we face challenges, we get anxious, cry all we can, and seek ways we can get them to vanish. But these challenges never go away. Even when one challenge goes away, many more challenges show up.

Proverbs 28:1 says, "The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions." Solomon says again, "There are three things which are majestic in pace, Yes, four which are stately in walk: A lion, which is mighty among beasts And does not turn away from any; ... And a king whose troops are with him." - (Proverbs 30:29-31)

Our problem is that we are not courageous and bold enough. We are always afraid of the unknown. That’s why ideas and talents are still hidden inside of us. Courage is the strength of kings and the character of champions.

The Lord told Joshua, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9). In Isaiah 41:13, the Lord said, “For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”

If the Lord has promised to help us, why are we afraid? What are we scared of? We often say it isn’t easy as though it’s supposed to be easy. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy, and nothing worthwhile ever happens without courage, hard work, consistency and endurance.

Find strength in the Word of God and move with boldness. Be determined. Be courageous. Be consistent. You will be rewarded for it. You will be honoured for it. And there is nothing you will not be able to overcome or achieve.
