Focus on Solutions 2


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Beloved, you can request help of God to overcome whatever challenges you if only you will focus on solutions rather than on stewing over whatever assails you. Are you sick and in need of healing? God still heals and will gladly heal you if you ask Him to do so. King Hezekiah of Judah cried to God for help when he was sick unto death. God not only healed him; He also gave him additional years to live on planet earth. It is also quite instructive that King Hezekiah was advised on what medications to use and he used them. This implies that God’s healing come in diverse ways; sometimes with His word and the ailment disappears as in a number of cases in the Bible, sometimes with medications as in the case of Hezekiah, the blind man Jesus ministered to with sand and other materials; sometimes by anointing with oil after prayers by the elders of the Church as instructed in the Bible in the book of James. Beloved, God is new every day and will direct you on how to get healed if you focus on receiving healing from Him rather than on the ailment and its pain.

Are you in debt? Take your focus away from the huge amount of debt and ask God to show you how to earn great income with which you can pay off the debts. Worrying about the debts and the consequent actions of servitude that will be taken by your creditor will not solve the problem. What will solve the problem is, you turning to God for solutions. Please quickly do so now if this is the challenge you are experiencing. You will be pleasantly surprised to discover that God will not only help you pay off the debts, He will also empower you to become a lender to nations. The case of the indebted widow of the prophet in 2nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7 is instructive and faith inspiring.



Are you experiencing great challenges in the important relationships in your life? Focus on the solutions that are hidden in God rather than on the challenges and the seeming lack of exit out of the problem which is a lie from the pit of hell. The truth is that God has answers to every relationship problem and if you turn to Him, He will gladly give you the wisdom you require to navigate every one of such problems.

Beloved, focusing on solutions and requesting help from God or people who know is a great sign of humility. It shows that you know your limitations and would want to improve on them. Additionally, it shows that your hope and confidence is in God therefore you are willing to submit your limitations to Him for His unfailing assistance.

The woman with the issue of blood focused on solutions. She had to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment despite the huge crowd around Jesus. Rather than worry about how to get close to Jesus, she focused on meandering her way to Jesus and as soon as she came close to Jesus, she touched the hem of His garment and was made whole.

Blind Bartimaeus focused on getting a solution to the challenge of visual impairment. He shouted as loudly as he could to get Jesus’ attention and the moment he did, Jesus restored his sight.

Focusing on solutions is a great way to make challenges stepping stones. Therefore, uproot trees of worry and anxiety and focus on the solutions to whatever challenges you as every challenge has a solution. Shalom and God bless you.
