WHY YOU MUST EXPERIENCE STORMS OF LIFE, AND WHAT YOU MUST DO WHILE FACING ONE.

Tribulations lasts only so long as there remains some chaff of self which needs to be removed. The threshing machine, ceases to work when all the grains(good characteristics of you) is separated from the chaff ( bad), and when the last impurities are blown away from the soul, tribulation has completed it's work, and there's no more need for it; then abiding joy is realized. The sole and supreme use of crisis in life is to purify, to burn out all that is useless and impure, storms ceases for him who is pure. There could be no object in burning gold after the dross had been removed. To the righteous, storms are the tester of FAITH (see Job's story) and To the sinner, crisis are the refiner of self (see Isaiah 48:10, Psalm 66:10-12, Jere 9:7 Zech 13:9) in other words storms of life must be expected, they come to everyone and must be experience by everybody. It doesn't matter how religious you are, either you are righteous or not, perfect or worst, more religious or not, you must experience storms of life because they're natural occurrence which you must face at a certain period of life (see Ecclesiastes 3:1-22). Storms are the examiners of life, they qualify, transport and prepare qualified individuals to a zenith position in life. Storms are never permanent, they are temporal occurrent controlled and fixed by GOD (see Act 1:7), storms changes everything, they are charging environment.

WHAT ARE STORMS

Storms also known as crisis, are temporary  convergence of natural current and the elements reacting to and affecting the environment, impacting the normal cause of life, in other words, they are the collision of known elements or circumstances in the unexpected ways, it is the testing of the tradition by the unexpected. Whatever you are going through now is a known circumstances, (sickness, job loss, divorce, etc) which are manifested or experienced by you in an unpremeditated way, IF YOU MUST BECOME GREAT, YOU MUST EXPERIENCE CRISIS IN LIFE. NEVER MAKE A PERMANENT DECISION TO EVER SOLVE A TEMPORARY PROBLEM. Storms are natural, crisis are temporary, storms are always moving, every crisis in life is moving, they're never permanent, storms forces change, it restore nature (you) to it original or natural state (Zealous and complete yeiling to and for GOD). Some of you, until there's a problem in your life before your zeal and your love for GOD is manifested. Storms exposes your weakness, they confirm how strong you are and they reduce you back to GOD (King Pharaoh), in most cases, before a wealthy, mighty, famous and great men surrender completely to GOD, there must be a problem or a circumstances he must be facing. Storms restore our true value, it reminds us of mortality, no matter the greatness and affluence acquired, you can never live till eternity. Crisis deflate pride, it humbles you, and point you to GOD. 

Purpose For Crisis in Life.  

1. Crisis come to restore natural balance.

2. They come to clean the environment ( to make you repent of your sins).

3. They come to remove pollutions (sins).

4. They come to expose decays (sins)

5. They come to test our strength (faith, Malachi 3:2-3, 2nd Corinthians 11:25-27, Acts 14:22).

6. They come to maintain humility (Deuteronomy 8:2-5).

7. They come to reduce life to the essentials, they make you know what's important.

8. They come to test our foundations (Genesis 22:1-2).

9. They come to test our building code.

10. They comes to give us a Key if we pass the test (Mathew 16:19).

Storms impact everyone, crisis are not the issues in life, (see 1st Peter 1:6-7, 1st Peter 4:12-13) they came to expose what you build on. Please note that the STRUCTURE (you), is more important than the STORM (circumstances) you're facing. If you don't have the right structure and code, you will definitely crash. As a matter of fact, you are never remember by what you avoided in life, you're remember by what you survived, this is one of the reasons why Abraham was remembered (see Hebrew 17-19). If you have no problem, you will have no reputation. The eagle is the only bird that look for storm, it is the king of birds because it understand the nature of Storm. Before you Excel above crisis in life, you must be like an eagle. The eagle uses the storm to increase height and to rest, it uses the storm to clean it feather, it uses the storm to test their pinons, they  free storms when done using it. Nothing is permanent expect GOD. Never curse a Crisis you are going through in life (see Job 1:22), always use the storm you're facing to drive you closer to your Divine material. JESUS, The Prophets and The Disciples also faced storm, make sure you learn the lesson each storms brings to you. You have to build your house (you) on the right code and structure of GOD. Whatever you faced either in the past or present does not matter, if it's a bigger problem that means GOD thinks BIG about you, HE will never allow you experience what's beyond you (see 1st Corinthians 10:13), HE TRUST you, it is a message from GOD how HE THINKS about you. Every crisis that comes, GOD gave you the ability to overcome it, just give yourself back to GOD. Don't seat around waiting for somebody to approve about what you wanna do, GOD will tell you what you have to do if only you surrender to HIM. HE only allows stress for you to stretch your mind, test your creativity and think bigger, always believe in your ability to solve bigger problems, look at what you have, you have more than you think you are. Study you have, see potential in the resources around you, see beyond what is normal in your life, understand the true nature of what you have in life, things and products, act on faith. Don't be sober over that lack you're experiencing, or that divorce, sickness, depression you're going through, GOD knows you're an eagle, HE knows you'll succeed, HE have plans for your life (see Jere 29:11).
