In James 1:v2 (NKJV) says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.”
Brethren, it is a big challenge to be a Christian believer.
I am sorry to say this to you that if you are a believer and you have never faced challenges in your life, then you are not a true believer. Because immediately you confess that Christ is your Lord and your savior that is when the trials begin.
What would you say about the Challenges? Are they good or bad?
For me, they are all good because they have been my best teacher all through; I have learned to focus on what the word of God says.
In the book of John 14:27, the word of God says. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.”
So I m here to urge you my brethren, that do not allow any of the trials (anger, unforgiveness, offences, disappointments, discouragements, intimidation, etc) and sometimes people will say things which will hurt you, but with all these just ask yourself this question.
Is it worthy to exchange the peace that God has given you with anger just because someone has offended you or hurt you in any ways? Certainly not worthy, praise God!
Why do we face these types of difficulties? I discovered that it is when God is about to bless you, or when you have been blessed then Satan become unhappy chap, and he plans to make you unhappy too. I also discovered that, God can challenge us to test our faith. Just the way He did to Job (Job 1:6-12) so it is the time to stay tuned in God.
I have being through tough times when people could say anything and everything they want to say about me, but was it worth to allow the peace of God to depart from me? No! I fell too hard but God helped me back up and I held on. Thanks be to God who always leads us to triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14)
For that reason, I have been blessed so much that I don't even have the space here to tell you everything that God has blessed me with and He is still blessing me. Amen!
So if you are facing any challenge right now, just hold on to God as tight as you can and don't let go. Because your blessing is coming and when it does, I can't even tell you how it feels. Hallelujah! God puts those He loves and who He has plans for, through the fire. Where He has molded and shaped you to get all of the impurities out and then He puts you in the kiln to set what He has created to a permanent refined beauty. God is the Potter and we Christians are his clay.
Just hold on, joy is coming!!
God bless you
Nothing Can Separate Us
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"(Romans 8:38-39)
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness or peril or sword?" (Romans 8:v35)
Are you going to be separated from the love of God because of the economic recession?
Are you going to be separated from the love of God because of the economic recession?
Brethren, I want to encourage you as well as to remind you that, the love of God goes way beyond human love you have ever experienced.People may come and go in your life but God is always with you.He will never leave you or forsake you.
Human love may be conditional, but the love of God is supernatural, unconditional and it knows no limits.There is nothing you can do to earn His love and nothing you can do to stop His love.
The scripture tells us that His love is patient, His love is kind, His love believes the best in you.His love redeems and restores you.
Don't worry about what other people says about you or what you may think about yourself now. You need to remember that you are God's most prized possession, and nothing can separate you from His Love.
Brethren, let us thank God for loving us and setting us free and for restoring the broken places. We must surrender everything we have to Him and ask Him to fill us with His Love in Jesus name- Amen!
God bless you
