We all have problems and challenges in our daily lives and very often these problems and threatening situations speak to us. Usually what we do is we start describing its intensity to ourselves and to others.”I only have this”, “How long do I suffer”, “how big this is”, ” seems like it will finish me” and so on.

How can we be victorious when we encounter challenges?

In Mark 11:23, Jesus gives us the key to this. He says, “SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN !!”.
Therefore, “SPEAK TO YOUR PROBLEMS BEFORE IT CAN UTTER A WORD TO YOU!” Let’s not talk about it, but let’s talk to it.

When the returning refugees of Israel started rebuilding their ruined temple under the leadership of Zerubbabel, there came a mountain like opposition from the “big people” of the land. Here comes the prophecy from Zechariah to the problem: “ Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And He shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”” (Zechariah 4:7 NKJV ). Yes, prophesying to the problem its destiny!!

So, now the next question is, what should we speak? We have to speak the God breathed scripture- the WORD OF GOD. When we speak God’s Word, we let God to decide the destiny of our problem. When God’s word is spoken to it, the problem now has an invincible challenge before it because God Himself encounters it. Let’s speak God’s Word to it and let God make us trample on it!
I heard a very powerful quote: instead of telling your God “I have a big problem”, tell your problem, “I have a big God!!”
