Topic; the supremacy of God over societal challenges/ills

1. Eye problem is possibly is Paul’s  challenge of the thorn in his flesh.  Gal. 4:15

2. Christ showed his supremacy over the source of challenges/ills;

i. By taking away the carpet of the feet of principalities and powers (our adversaries) and nail them on the cross.  Col.  2:14

ii. By spoiling the principalities and powers themselves . Col.  2:15a

iii. Made a show of them openly. Col.  2:15b

iv. And  triumphing over them in it. Col.  2:15c

3. The practical steps we need to take to overcome our challenges are:

i. delight in the lord. Psalm 37:4-5.

ii. Trust in God. Psalm 123:1-2.

ii. Wait upon God. Proverbs 3:5-6

iv. Rely on Gods directives.. 2 cor. 12:10.

 I pray the power of Christ, with the name of Jesus Christ. To put an end to every  societal challenges/ills in our life today in Jesus  mighty name. Amen
