What has God taught you about how to handle conflict?
Glory Theverajan on September 29, 2009 at 12:10 am
If God have brought you into the conflict, just wait for Him to take you out from the conflict. It is very hard to go through but with God grace you will make it. I thank God to allow me to go through the conflict in my life, because this brought me closer Him.
God has purpose for each child of Him. At the right time he will deliver you from the conflict. Isaiah 49:8
This is what the LORD says:
“In the time of my favor I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you;
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,
to restore the land
and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
I strongly believe in this word in my life. Just let God handle the conflict. Just listen to God’s voice and lead your life has He want, every thing will be fine and God will just lift you high.
When you let God handle your conflict, I learn so many new things in my life and I can sense the light of God shine in me. My character change.
All glory to God.
May God bless you all.

I feel that conflicts in our lives are something that is allowed, but planned by God. He knows all of your strengths and weaknesses as well as our capabilities. Sometimes the conflict might be another person’s struggle and we are brought in as the source of Light that God intends to send in this particular struggle. I feel that no matter what the conflict or struggle, we should remain in the Lord remembering all the time that His Grace, Mercy and Love always covers us.
Our ability to survive the struggle allows us to help and lead others during their conflicts.
May God send his servants to those needing comfort during conflicts and struggles.
2 Corinthians 1:3-10
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. 9Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us

Recently, my life has been bogged down by so many conflicts in my family and even in the church as well. I was overwhelmed, and when I asked God what’s happening, He reminded me of Paul’s hardships and trials in these same verses in I Corinthians chapter 1.. As believers in Christ, we are not exempted from the difficulties and attacks of the devil which may come from the outside, from fellow believers and even from people inside your church. Taking our share of Christ’s suffering is really an important part of our journey. Things like these make us humble and force us to look up to God for help and strength. We cannot do it alone, we need God’s protection and wisdom all the time.

I have had conflicts in my life and I know that they are there for a reason. I feel that God uses conflict as a way to test not only our faith but our faith in Him. God never gives us any burdens, conflicts, or situations that we can not handle. We have His Son as our example and role model in handling any conflict that this world can throw at us.
However, it is our choice whether we use what God has given us and submit our will or we try to control the situation ourselves. It is so hard for us to admit that we are not the captain of our ships. God is the captain. He is the rudder of our ship. Without him, our ship and our lives lie in the balance.
I welcome conflict in my life because i know that I have a God, a Father who will guide me in the right direction.

I have learned that God allows me to encounter conflict, in order to show me myself, I pray daily for God to cause everything inside of me that’s not like Him, to be cricified with Christ, so that everything in His resurrection can manifest in me daily-so every now and then God will allow conflict to come so He can show me what needs to be dealt with such as pride,selfishness, patience, anger etc…
the outcome is not always negative though… sometimes (often times now..) I pass the tests because I’m aware that I’m being tested and just like everyone else said I’m strengthened in the process (Praise the Lord !!)

God is teaching me to be patient and seek him in conflict. Rather than sinking into the familiar and easy “back-and-forth” or trying to “win,” I’m learning to put aside my negative feelings and focus on what God is trying to teach me with this situation. I’m VERY new to this way of handling conflict, so it doesn’t always work, but this is what God is teaching me.

I’ve been walking this road (w/Jesus) for a while now and it’s still hard at times to keep going.
Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Life is a process. Everyday that we live for His Glory we are “becoming” more and more of who God created us to be.
Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

Recently I have been the victim of some vicious rumors. I had been praying for God’s strength, guidance and wisdom to handle this in a way that honors Him.
In Genesis 50:19-20, Joseph says, “Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done…” To me, this means that even though the responsible parties are intending to harm me, God will use it for the good and He will be glorified through this situation. I’m so very thankful for God’s word, which helps me to face conflict and adversity in a way that not only honors Him, but brings about peace, love and understanding.
