Beloveth… our topic today is “The Suffering of The Saints”… hummmh … in our world today every where you look at the saints are going through one challenge or the other… ranging from health issues, financial crisis, Job lost, Rebellious children or spouse, persecution and what not…
Thank God for Jesus… who daily deliver us from all pains and sorrow… beloveth… ‘The pains are real; so also is our God…’
The Word of God to us as a ministry from the beginning of the year… is Unending Goodness… beloveth… The word has gone out the mouth of the Lord… we awaits its fulfillment… yes it must surely come to pass… It too late for satan and His cohorts to stop it or change what God has planned to do… Is too late… because nothing can hinder it … I wanted to say ‘except yourself’ but the Spirit of God interrupted my thoughts and said not even you can stop you….
Do you understand it… not even you can stop what God wants to do in your life… O my God …. I stand in Awe of this God… Who is God All by Himself… Is someone praising this God… This God is too much…
Do you know that one of God’s Name is “Self Existing” that is “Sovereign God” … our God is God All by Himself…. Shout alleluia….
I was praying with this Name recently when I was overwhelmed in my spirit by the way things are going in my life and I reminded God that He need nobody to do what I want Him to do… I reminded Him that He is God All by Himself … Therefore, He is Well-Able to do just what I am standing looking up to Him… to do…
So whatsoever you may be going through just know that you serve a Self-Existing God… He is Sovereign and can do all things… “Nothing is impossible for Him to do.”
Be also reminded that the saints that have gone ahead of us had at one time or the other passed through hardship… but they never lost hope… Yes! They held on to God Who is more than able to do all things… Praise the Name of the Lord…
That is why you and I must internalize God’s Word in our spirit-man… we must not give up… we keep on looking unto Jesus … For He is the Author, the Beginning and the End of everything in our lives and situations… Praise the Living Jesus… Alleluia!
Apostle Paul shared his experiences with us “we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body…. for our light affliction, which is but a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory”… 2Cor.4:8-18…
Beloveth… they have their own fair share of it and they ran and finished the race gloriously … we too shall also run and finish our race in glory … Amen…
I pray for you today that the weight of God’s glory will rest upon your life, family, career and ministry in Jesus Name Amen!!! You will not be tried… You will not burn out in the Name of Jesus… Amen…
Come alone with us for more:
The Suffering Of The Saints
Suffering, it seems, is a daily occurrence among God’s people: Health problems, persecution, financial stress, etc., etc. How are we to understand it? How are we to cope? In studying 1 Peter, I discovered eleven ways we are to respond to suffering:
- Rejoice, recognizing your faith is being tested and purified — “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials… Your faith… may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed… ” (1:6-8)
- Do not retaliate against your tormentors — “When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats.” (2:23)
- Follow Christ’s example in entrusting yourself to God — “Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.” (2:23b)
- Do not be afraid — “Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened.” (3:14b)
- Follow Christ’s example in suffering for doing good — “It is better, if it is God‘s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,” (3:17, 18)
- Adopt Christ’s attitude toward suffering —”Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin.” (4:1)
- Rather than being surprised, rejoice in the fact that you are participating in Christ’s suffering — “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.” (4:12, 13)
- Be unashamed in your suffering and association with Christ —”If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.” (4:15, 16)
- Amidst the suffering, commit yourself to God, and continue to do good — “So then, those who suffer according to God‘s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. ( 4:19)
- Resist Satan, recognizing that other believers are also suffering at his hand — “Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” (5:9, 10)
11.Anticipate His restoration — “And the God of all grace… after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” (5:10).
Beloveth you read it all… The saints before us passed through some difficulties that their questioned the existence of God in their lives… but they stood firm because they know in whom they believed…. Some exchanged their lives for their faith… so stand firm therefore that you falleth not because this cup will soon pass you by…. Praise the Name of Jesus… Alleluia!!!
Hope you are greatly blessed… face your light afflictions with great courage… God bless you…
