It’s Too Much to Handle

Matthew 26:36-46-(36 Then Jesus *came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and *said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38 Then He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40 And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? 41 Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45 Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, “[a]Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”)


The entire world seems as if it’s pushing all the weight of its self against you and now you feel like it is too much to handle.
Indeed and in fact that is the same feeling that Jesus felt while in the garden of Gethsemane.

By now you should be able to understand that the word Gethsemane loosely translates to mean, “Pressing place ".

Imagine being in a place where life keeps pressing you from every angle and by everything life threatening.

Undoubtedly you seem to be on the verge of breaking down and as a result you have developed the disposition that's it’s too much to handle.

You are dealing with stuff too much to handle for ordinary folk and this so because the anointing of God for the life of you is too much too handle by everyday people.

The anointing of God is the very power of the spirit of God in demonstration/ in action.

The anointing of God is the light of God that is envied by the kingdom of darkness.


The envy and hatred of the kingdom of darkness is demonstrated by a deliberate effort to render the activities of the light of God futile.
It’s too much to handle but the grace of God is heavy and fighting for you.

For a diamond to be what it ought to be it got to endure the pressure that is constantly pushed against it.

And by enduring the pressure exerted against it so does it become of precious value, as a matter of fact you of so much precious value to the extent that those around about you can't handle the glory of God upon your life.

Hence if anybody dares to touch you inappropriately then the wrath of God shall come against your perpetrators.
The vengeance of the Almighty God will automatically come upon the one who chooses to betray you.

The brothers of Joseph the dreamer had no option but sell him into slavery because they would not handle the Glory and the power of God upon his life.

From among those who walked with Jesus one of them had to betray him because they would not handle the glory and power of God upon his life.

The opportunity for the glory and power of God to come into demonstration like never before ever since the foundation of the earth had to present its self in that very moment of betray and attack against the anointed one of God.

Sometimes it feels like you want to cry all day long because it’s too much to handle.

Everyone who comes into your life seems like they come into your life to demoralize you and to put you down.

To render your existence void but you need to understand that many times the glory of God upon the one God has appointed is treated with contempt ,because many can't handle the glory of God upon your life because it's simply too much to handle.

They want to make you feel inadequate and incapacitated because they can't stand the fact you walk in the glory of God.

The people you love so dearly keep turning against you and walking away from you because the glory of God for the life of you is too much to handle.

When the glory of God upon your life is too much to handle many of the seasons that your life will have to endure will be too much to handle.

In that many times than not you will feel like wanting to give up and to throw in the towel.

But all you need to do is to hang in there because very soon you will overcome all the things, all circumstances, all situations and challenges in the name of Jesus Christ.

It’s too much to handle but the God who appointed you and anointed you is helping you even as of this very moment in time.
