1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

The less informed you are, about trying times, the more you have chances of loosing what God has in stock for you. And for you to exit trying times, you have to know the following:

1. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO MAN

1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is COMMON TO MAN: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

You must firstly have the understanding that trial is common to every man be it believer or unbeliever, anointed or unanointed alike.
You’re not the only one passing through that particular trial. There is a Yoruba adages which says: ‘ saying this situation has never occurred in life is just a means of scaring the victim’.
So, this is to justify the fact that, what you’re passing through is not a new trial. There are 10001 people that have passed through this same trial you’re passing through, and they all fall into 2 categories; some failed while some succeeded. Those who failed, didn’t do anything about it, while those who succeeded, are those who did something about it. They never quitted!!!
You are the determinant of the success of your trial. The truth is that, it had happened to some people and they testified afterwards.
Hebrews 6:12
“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

2. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE BEYOND YOU

1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted ABOVE THAT YE ARE ABLE; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

The trial you’re passing through, is not meant to be beyond you. The moment it is beyond you and you don’t know what to do again, it’s a signal that something is wrong. When an individual is involved in an accident, and the concerned part of the body is being stitched by the doctor, it’s expected that when the operation is going on, it shouldn’t be painful, and once it gets painful, it means something is wrong. That moment when the trial is overwhelming you, is a pointer to the fact that you’re not doing what you are supposed to do. And that is what we shall be dealing with in this series.

3. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE FOREVER

1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a WAY OF ESCAPE, that ye may be able to bear it..”

The trial you are passing through, is not meant to be forever, so don’t lose hope. It will be wrong to accept it as a fate either. Don’t see the devil in it even if it is the devil that brought you into it. Start seeing God who will bring you out of it. And also, if it’s as a result of your past sin, lean on the cleaning power of the blood of Jesus. Do not allow the devil to pin you down with guilt.
God is ready to bring you out of that trial, Yes! He has provided a way of escape for you if you would be ready to accept Him into your trials.

4. IT’S ONLY MEANT FOR A WHILE

1 Peter 5:10
“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

Isaiah 32:10(NLT).
“In a short time—just a little more than a year, you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. For your fruit crops will fail, and the harvest will never take place.”

The trial is only for a while, and it is not meant to be too long. It is not meant to be forever. the definition of ‘a while’ by God is a little more than a year, and once it’s more than a year, it’s becoming something else.
And if I may ask; do you know what is making it longer than the time it should be? It shall be discussed in the next part!!!

Now, check yourself, has the trial been taking a very long while in your life? I decree that your set time has come in the name of Jesus.

You will testify today!!! You will testify this week!!!

You will testify this month!!!

It will not be more than this month in the name of Jesus..

Amen!
