Problems and challenges are made to strengthen and empower us. Life are full of various challenges and mankind experience problem almost everyday of their life. There is no human being who can omit themselves out of challenges.
We all aspire to be the best and improve on our task. this aspiration bring in responsibility into our life. For us to be responsible for our life there come certain time to face problem and challenges that are meant to be solve. The question is that are you ready to assume responsibility for your life? do you want that promotion? are you ready for that home/house or are you ready to be marriage. Answer to all this questions come with a price to be paid. in the bible, John 5-6 Jesus was asking a man incapacitated for 38 years that `Do you want to be made well. Jesus Christ asked this question to direct the man thinking along the reward as the price. When God asks us a question and we give him answer, he want us to know that there is always a price/responsibility to our answer. Asking for a solution often means new challenges to face and overcome. Challenges come in various stages of our life. As a young boy selling fruits to have pocket money for sport or drama lesson,that skills gave him responsibility for face his challenges moreso as a adult working in the office all day to provide for his family bring it own responsibility and it reward.As a parent, the challenges of seeing your children attaining success in the life is the responsibility you should be prepare to make. You need to put in energy into their school work,sport day, clothing and shelter. Love them and pay them attention.
The CEO of a company that want his firm to be successful in their environment need the cooperation of his subordinate staff to face challenges and pay the price for success.
There is always a price to be pay to attaining the reward of success.There is a principle l referred to as Bright Crown = Heavy Cross. Before you can see the reward bright crown there is heavy cross you and me need to carry.
We need to recognizing that life is not one big race but succession of short ones. Everyday has it own task, for us to be successful we must keep plugging away everything we faced challenges.
There was the story about Columbus when he faced difficulties while sailing west in search of a passage to Asia. Columbus encountered storms, experience hunger, deprivation and discouragement. His crews of his ships were mutiny but Columbus recalled of the journey says today that they sailed on their perseverance paid off, Columbus and his crew did not only discover a fast route to the spice rich indies, instead he found new continents. The scriptural key to success is running our race each day.
We need to have to carry our cross everyday. one important lesson to know in facing our challenges is not to quit because quitter are never a winners. To quit mean you are not prepare for the responsibility that bring in success as reward.We need to on our way to Glory turn our adversity into our advancement.
Advancement did not actually mean speed but moving ahead at the appropriate level. There is no short cut in achieving advancement but moving at the pace God almighty has programme you and l.
People today were obsessed with speed but our God is still more interested in strenght and stability. We want the quick fix but there is not short cut in the act of God. Perservance lead to success. Persevance on our challenges is like investment,it means you are ready to bind yourself emotionally,intellectually,physically and spiritually to the challenges,task,purpose until it has been completed and you get the rewards. Ready for the responsibility for the great reward is to invest in yourself.Perservance is total commitment to your responsibility.

Stayed open. This mean you are ready to learn both old and new thing alike and get the right information. You must be willing to relax and ready for new information, avenve and more facts.
Just because you knew it before does not mean you cannot be open to new views. Closing door to ideas and people who have new idea or view mean you are guilty of openness of avaliabilty to new information. Pride something make us think we know it all. There is no crime staying open for new idea but caution have to be put in place and aviod unnessary and negative facts whose can damage our sound minds.
