“Encouragement from any source is like a drop of rain upon a parched desert.” In today’s busy world, and with its challenging times and seasons, it is easy to quickly get demoralized by the stress and strain of our every day activities. Therefore, we need words of hope to constantly refresh our spirits and souls, so that we do not become drab and devastated.
What a blessing it would be to pass on the inspirations you get from reading our articles. Besides, you may have functioned as an encourager with another, and never realized it. You can read our post, tell us your own stories, leave comments, and share to your friends on social media, so that we all being instruments of consolation and peace, can win together. Indeed, ‘We rise by lifting others.’ Yes, we are winning! #beanencourager

Can you figure out your fears? The enemy wants you to become so afraid that you won’t be able to figure out what you fear. One of the ways he does this is to chain us to the circumstances of the past, thereby keeping us from reaching our potential.
The enemy can chain you to the hurts or heartbreaks of the past, by a spirit of unforgiveness, thus keeping you from moving forward. He might also chain you to the failures or disappointments of the past, thus keeping you locked out of the opportunity of trying again. If indeed we want to make progress in this new year, we must be willing to give up yesterday and go on toward tomorrow.
Job testified saying, “For a tree there is always hope. Chop it down and it still has a chance -its roots can push out fresh sprouts…at the first whiff of water it comes to life (Job 14:7-9). God wants you to know that you have nothing to fear if you can put your absolute trust in Him. King David declared, “Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil…”-Ps23:4. You too can take courage from the word of God, and declare that in spite of the surrounding challenges, you have been made a conqueror, and so you’re winning! Yes, we are winning!

When you’re divinely favored to see a new day, you should undervalue your defeats, and celebrate your victories. Even if you are not where you want to be, you should be thankful to God that you are not where you used to be. Therefore, magnify the great qualities you have, and not the negative things people say or you feel they think about you. You too, don’t feel or think like a grasshopper because you’re not! 
You’ve got something to offer the world. You’ve been kept alive for such a time as this.
You’re a plus, ur not a waste! So, when next you look at the mirror, say aloud to yourself, ‘I am amazing!’ ‘I am unique!’ ‘I am talented!’ ‘I am happy!’ ‘I am original!’ ‘I am worthy!’ ‘I am God’s masterpiece!’ ‘I am a success!’ ‘I am blessed!, I am grateful!’ ‘I am winning!’ Yes, you are winning! Yes, we are winning!

There may be many things about you that are dead, but you are not dead! You have not even taken a swing, yet you worry about missing the target! ‘Suppose I miss’, you say. Do not allow you past disappointments make you to adjust your expectations to your limitations! God can do superabundantly, far over and above all that we can dare ask or think (Eph.3:20). You’re not dead! Wake up, and press play! You’re winning! Yes, we are winning!

The same boiling water that hardens the egg will soften the potato! Therefore, every one is challenged by one or more unpleasant situations. However, to succeed all depends upon the individual’s reaction to stressful circumstances! ‘Challenges are what makes life interesting, overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.’ Joshua J. Marine. Alarm will always blow, but leaning on Jesus, plus determination never to give up will save you from all alarms. 
So, dear friend, running away from your problem will only increase the distance to the solution. Yes, alarm will always blow, but God has everything under control. So, keep calm no cause for alarm. For those who trust in God, nothing will shake them. Even in the midst of the storms, they will stand strong. Whatever betides you now, will will come to pass. Just be resilient in faith, and rejoice in hope. When life gets harder, challenge yourself to be stronger. Keep calm, no cause for alarm. You’re winning! Yes, we are winning!
