However, there is a condition for this promise to be fulfilled in your life: if you want to take possession of the blessing of <strong><em>\u201cI shall not want,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 God must be your shepherd. He must be first in your life, and His will must be above your own.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen we speak of this Bible verse, we often think of blessings, good news, and achievements. But the truth is that there will also be no shortage of challenges. After all, there are no victories without battles, and to be able to overcome these struggles without losing heart, you must have the Almighty as your shepherd,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 taught Pastor Viel during the \u2018Prosperity With God\u2019 meeting at the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.otemplodesalomao.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Temple of Solomon.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opposition and Criticism<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you want to grow and become a reference in your field of work, you should be ready to face opposition and criticism. <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWhen this moment comes, you will need to understand that there are no shortcuts to achieving success with God, so do not expect support from others.

Our enemies are spiritual, not physical. <em>\u201cPoverty and failure are not always problems of lack of ability or poor management. If the problem has a spiritual origin, it is not overcome with talent or effort but with the use of spiritual weapons. With them, you provoke your miracle, you move the hand of God,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 said the pastor.<\/p>\n<p>Also, be careful with the thoughts you entertain. Having faith in God is crucial, but you also need to have faith in yourself, so do not allow thoughts of defeat to enter your mind and dominate you.
