Life can be very overwhelming sometimes. Having pressure coming from different angle and trying to weigh us down. It refreshing knowing that we have the advantage over the powers, hustle and bustle of this world. God has equipped you for victory and not just to survive. He has equipped you with everything you need to overcome challenges and oppositions. The scripture says “The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” (1John 4:4b)
God didn’t forget about your environment or the conditions you would face. He put in you the determination, courage, and stamina to overcome anything. You are made to withstand storms, outlast opposition, and endure until your dreams come true.
Think of a skyscraper, designed to withstand wind, rain, and weight. God, the Master Architect, has done the same with you. He calculated every load, every obstacle, and every challenge you will face, and He has made your foundation strong enough to bear it all, so you can come out with victory.
God planned ahead, preparing you for unseen challenges. When strength is needed, it will rise. Courage, faith, and determination will emerge to overcome opposition. Your walls are strong, your foundation is deep, and you can bear whatever comes your way. God didn’t miscalculate when He made you; He has equipped you for victory.
An architect plans ahead, calculating loads and forces before building. He doesn’t wait for pressure to decide on beams or check wind forces during a storm. It’s all calculated and designed before construction begins. When faced with new challenges, don’t think, “I can’t handle this.” You are facing it because you are well-able. God allowed it, knowing you would rise to the occasion.
God did the same with you, designing you in your mother’s womb for what you would face (Jeremiah 1:5). Everything was strategically and precisely put in you for your future needs. Big challenges mean you have strong beams and infrastructure. Pressure reveals what is in you; you don’t know what you can handle until it comes.
The fact that you are facing it is a sign that you are equipped for victory. God knew ahead of time and took into account every challenge. You have been fearfully and wonderfully made to conquer (Psalm 139:14).
You are made for everything you will face. God knew the challenges were coming and made you big enough to bear them. Look back on past trials; they are no big deal now. God changed you, not the circumstances. He is taking you to new levels, and with it comes more opposition. Let it inspire you; it means God is taking you higher.
David, the future king of Israel, was anointed but didn’t immediately take the throne. Instead, he returned to the shepherd’s fields, caring for his father’s sheep. Years passed, and challenges arose, but David persevered, staying true to his path. He defeated Goliath, and entered King Saul’s service, showing faithfulness and loyalty.
However, Saul grew jealous of David’s favour and threw a spear at him, forcing David to flee (1 Samuel 19:9-10). He spent months in the desert, hiding from Saul’s wrath. Despite the pressure, David remained steadfast, understanding he was equipped for victory!
David’s attitude was, “I have been made victorious in this injustice; God wouldn’t have allowed it if I couldn’t handle it.” On your journey, expect opposition and unfairness, but remind yourself that you are made victorious. You won’t collapse under pressure; you can forgive and outlast the opposition.
Like David, you have been made victorious in injustice. Don’t complain or let pressure overwhelm you; stay focused on your destiny. God wouldn’t have allowed it if you couldn’t handle it. He made you with a big destiny and equipped you for victory.
WITHSTANDING LIFE PRESSURE!
God took into account your big destiny when He made you. He didn’t give you a weak foundation; you are stronger than what is against your family. You have got stamina, endurance, and forgiveness. Those challenges are a sign that God is taking you higher, showing you new levels of increase and favour. Have a new perspective; you have been equipped for victory.
You are not alone; God is with you, and He has already won the victory. You are equipped to overcome any attack or opposition, and you will emerge triumphant. You have to do your part and take hold of this strength. Instead of thinking about how difficult it is, turn it around: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
God didn’t give you a big future with a weak foundation. You are stronger than you think, with more stamina, endurance, and grace. Challenges are a sign that God is taking you higher, showing you new levels of increase and favour. Have a new perspective for a lifestyle full of victory.
Marc Mero, a professional wrestler, shares his story of addiction, loss, and redemption. He rose to fame in WCW while battling a secret drug addiction, but his life unraveled after his mum and brother died. He hit rock bottom, lost everything, and contemplated suicide.
However, he turned to God, and everything changed. He got a job at a Gym and started speaking to schools about the dangers of drugs. 18 years later, he has spoken at over 4,000 events, sharing his testimony and inspiring others. He credits God with transforming his life and is excited for the future, feeling like his life is just beginning at 65.
Marc Mero’s testimony is a powerful reminder that we are all one moment away from a breakthrough. From the pinnacle of wrestling fame to the depths of addiction and despair, he found redemption in God. Now, he is using his platform to inspire others.
“I’m about to turn 65 and I feel like my life is just beginning,” Mero says. His story shows that it is never too late to turn things around.

You are not staying in that valley; you are coming out better, stronger, and victorious, into new levels of your destiny. Whatever you face, remind yourself you can handle it. You can come out victorious not because you are great, but because God, your Architect, has equipped you with everything you need and given you victory.
You will never face a situation you can’t bear or withstand. Your thoughts may say, “It’s too much; I can’t handle it.” But God put in you what you need to withstand it. If you knew what God put in you, you would realise that you can handle it. You have been designed to withstand it. Strength is coming into you in a new way, and courage is rising.
I decree and declare that you will withstand every storm, outlast every attack, and overcome every pressure. You will fulfil and become everything God created you to be, in Jesus’ name.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift His countenance upon you and give you peace.
