THE WISDOM OF MOLTING (CHANGE) IS “GOING THROUGH SOMETHING (CHALLENGES)”.
When you finally discover the benefit and importance of pressure and challenges : beyond situations designed to pull you down like the Jordan, which in the Hebrew means descender (pressure), you'll realise that it was over this same Jordan (pressuring and challenging situation)that Jacob (Genesis 32:10) testified when he returned home : “..... With only my staff I crossed over this Jordan (this pressuring challenge) ; but now I return home with two companies.”. Wow!
Listen, the more Egypt and Pharoah persecuted the children of Israel, the more God's people waxed strong and multiplied in number. This same principle happened when persecution hit the church at its cradle stage in the new testament, they multiplied greatly because of the persecution. Listen, we are trees of righteousness, we don't need favorable conditions to thrive : all we need is Jesus the Sun of righteousness and the Holy Spirit, the waters of Zion.
Once you grasp the revelation of challenges and what they accomplish in you : you'll be looking for something to go through. Yes, they come to accomplish a purpose in your life, and that's what the Bible says, exactly so. 1 Peter 5:9 testified “.... knowing that the same afflictions are ACCOMPLISHED IN YOUR BRETHREN that are all around the world”.
Listen, reptiles (particularly serpents) undergo ecdysis (molting), where they shed off their old skin so their real self comes forth in the increase of width and size expected of their level of growth : Until they molt, though they have the increase inside them, it won't show on the outside.
The weight of glory God wants you to demonstrate is locked up on what happens to you (thus what you put on and submit to) in this world. There are people who go through ignorance and that's what they refer to as challenges, they go through ignorance because they don't know how to identify the blessing in challenges.
When I was younger, when people want to wage a fight, I tell them “bring it on”, or in other words “put it on me” because I knew the pressure of the situation will trigger my ability to win, wow! Now with this same tone Apostle Paul said in Colossians 3:10 “And (already) having put on the new man” : listen, in the spirit “you have put on weight”, Paul described it as the “weight of His glory”. Having put on this spiritual weight because of the challenges Jesus went through for you on the cross : be ever excited when challenges come because it's a time to put on extra weight in your character, morals, discipline and spirituality. Wow!
This is why Paul attested to what provoked the increase of the Church in Corinth, he said “the pressure triggered (brought out, molted them into) something totally unexpected, and they gave more than they could afford”.
There's nothing you cannot afford, there's more beyond what you've seen, but you need to go through something like that serpent would go through a crevice or a debris to shed off its old skin in order to put on the weight of its real self and level of growth. Jesus learnt obedience through the many things He suffered, that is what the Bible says.
Challenges and pressures of this life trigger the best in us, and once you discover and accept the catalytic effect of it as a spiritual programming and coding for increase, you'll be so determined to grow : you'll be looking for something (God-allowed challenges) to go through. Jesus said “be wise as serpents but harmless as doves”, meaning it is wisdom to go through things like the serpent does : because of the advantage it produces in your life. Wow!
