TOPIC: SCHOOL OF TRIAL.
BIBLE VERSE: James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
A minister was recovering from a dangerous illness, when one of his friends addressed him thus: "Sir, though God seems to be bringing you up from the gates of death, yet it will be a long time before you will sufficiently retrieve your strength, and regain vigor enough of mind to preach as usual."
The good man answered: " You are mistaken, my friend; for this six weeks' illness has taught me more divinity than all my past studies and all my ten years' ministry put together."
Are you passing through trials? I want you to understand that that trail is for a purpose. There are so many reasons why God do allow us to pass through trails. Trails humble people. Trials bring people back to God. Trail teaches people lessons. Trail makes people stronger.
In the school of trail, you need to be strong to stay through. There's always a testimony at the end of trial when we stay through in love with God. Time of trials is not time to point accusing fingers to God, not time to question God, not time to fall back to sin, and not time to accept options from the devil.
God is not allowing you to pass through trials because He hates you rather because He wants to teach you a lesson. Instead of complaining around about the trials you are passing through; patiently identify the reason for such trials in your life. Just as gold has to pass through the fire for the beauty to shine, we have to pass through trails to gain God's confidence for exploits.
Stay Strong!
If you don’t want to face trials then forget a triumphant living.
PRAYER: Lord, I need your grace to stay strong through trials, let my trails turn into testimonies.
ACTION POINT: Learn From Your Trails And Remain Faithful To God To The End.
