TURNING FROM BEING A CHILD TO A MAN

1. Peter was challenged by a girl when he was a coward but when he became a man, he challenged the whole people of Jews to believe in the Lord. Luke 22:50-54. Acts 2:14, 22, Acts 4:8-21.
2. No challenge no change. No challenge no growth. Every time you are challenged, God is taking you to a new level. Lam. 3:18-30.
3. There is something on the inside that will never work until your people despise you and you decide to rely on the God of heaven and earth. Judges 11:1-5
4. When you are exposed to any challenge, this becomes an opportunity to change if you take it in good fate. Isaiah 66:5
5. Naming ceremony without challenges is a name without greatness, but a name with challenges is a name with dignity and honor. Lk. 3:21-22
6. Challenges give you God's earthly announcement and advancement. Luke 5:1-9. Babies live to consume but sons live to produce. The joy of a father is when a child is born but the pride of the father is turned to a son to take responsibilities. When child is a king the nation suffers, but if a son is enthroned then the nation will fulfill its destiny. Eccl. 10:15-18, Gal. 4:1
7. If your father or mother keeps on complaining about you, then you are a child but when you become a son and take responsibilities you will be celebrated. Isaiah 9:6-8. Children keep on blaming people for their problems. Stop looking for whom to blame and take challenges that will take you to higher heights. Let your testimonies be more than your complaint.
