*PHANEROO~DEVOTION* Monday, 3rd February 2025 Apostle Grace Lubega *Matthew 14:29-32 (KJV):* And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. *THE TRAIL OF YOUR FAITH II* Our theme scripture highlights Peter doing the seemingly impossible: walking on water. Notice that when he first stepped out of the boat, he walked on water. Even when unbelief caused him to begin sinking, the Lord steadied him, and together they walked on water back to the boat! When Jesus and Peter returned to the boat, the Bible says the wind ceased. Let me reveal a mystery to you. The Greek word for ceased in this scripture is kopazo, meaning "to grow weary or tired." Essentially, the wind grew weary and tired. What is God teaching us here? Child of God, you can tire the devil. If you know how to fight in faith, you can frustrate him until he grows weary. The devil may apply pressure and throw every obstacle in your path, but you must never give up. Persist in your trust in the Lord! If it’s pain, when the devil intensifies it, increase your endurance. If it’s a challenge in your career, business, or ministry, and the situation worsens, toughen up and expect better days. I have said this before, and I will say it again: the devil may fight hard, but he cannot fight for long. You, on the other hand, have divine tenacity to endure and prevail. Hallelujah! *FURTHER STUDY:* Romans 5:3; James 1:2-3 *GOLDEN NUGGET:* If you know how to fight in faith, you can frustrate the devil until he gets weary. The devil may fight hard, but he cannot fight for long. You, on the other hand, have the divine tenacity to endure and prevail. *PRAYER:* Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Your Word says that this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. I do not draw back, give up, or give in. I am a warrior in spirit, and I know how to fight until the end. No demon in hell can intimidate me because the Greater One lives in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen. bit.ly/EmbracingATeachableSpirit *#phaneroodevotion📜*
