Five Principles For Overcoming Handicaps
1.Overcome your handicaps by assuming the stance and posture of an overcomer. Always remember that you will be rewarded for what you overcome.
2.Overcome your handicaps by knowing that everyone has handicaps.
It is one of satan’s deceptions to make you think you are the only one with challenges and problems.
MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
Psalm 34:19
Yea, and ALL THAT WILL LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SUFFER persecution.
2 Timothy 3:12
3.Overcome handicaps by thinking of a way to turn a handicap into an advantage.
Think of how you can turn your particular problem into an advantage for the ministry.
4.Overcome handicaps by receiving supernatural strength for your particular handicap.
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
And he said unto me, MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT for thee: for MY STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 12:8-10
There is always sufficient grace for every problem. Every problem has a solution. Every engineering problem has an engineering solution. Every problem has special grace provided for it.
5.Overcome your handicap by embracing your God-given weaknesses. This was the secret of Apostle Paul.
Therefore I TAKE PLEASURE IN INFIRMITIES, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10
You must overcome your handicaps by learning to take pleasure in your weaknesses. See the sometimes awkward benefits of your handicaps. Snakes can hide anywhere and move through tiny spaces. Animals with legs cannot do these things.
Accepting your weakness delivers you from wasting your energy to develop strengths you will never have.
If you are an antelope, there is no point in trying to develop the strength of your arms and legs to fight with lions. You will never have enough strength to fight a lion. If you are an antelope, there is no point in developing your teeth to be as sharp as a lion’s or a crocodile’s. Your weakness as an antelope is your lack of strength. But you have something else that can work for you. And that is speed and agility! Antelopes have developed their speed and agility so much that they are hardly caught by lions. The population of antelopes has increased whilst the population of lions has decreased to critically low levels.
