THE TRIBULATION IN CHRIST

                                   

2 CORINTHIAN 6:3-10

JAMES 1:2-4

The suffering and tribulation we encounter as servants of God is the ground for our God testimony and prove of glory in our life. Without them, the ministry that God put in our hand lack proves as well as result. It is the foundation that brings about victory in our race as Christians. This is why you cannot be successful more than the trials and tribulation you overcome as a child of God

Do you want to go higher in Christ and do more exploit? Then expect trials and tribulation, it is the making process. Without them you remain a baby. They are coming to get you ready for the battle and exploit for salvation of Soul. So do not give nasty reasons for failure. The failure is as a result of being Lukewarm (neither hot nor cold). A man of excuses will always remain stagnant because he refuses to see reasons to move forward. When your ministry gets polluted through fault finding; then the foundation for your salvation is at the State of wreck. And this calls for serious prayer and concentration. Until your primary assignment is to make heaven, your ministry may not stand the test of salvation.

2 CORINTHIAN 6:4-10

(4)                        “But in every in every way we recommend ourselves

As God’s ministers by the endurance of much, by

Tribulation, by times of need, by difficulties,

(5)                          By beating, by imprisonment, by riots, by hard

Work, by sleepless nights, by times without food

(6)                         By purity, by knowledge, by patience, by

kindness, by holy spirit, by love free from

hypocrisy

(7)                        By truthful speech, by God’s power through

           weapons of righteousness in the right hand

           and left hand

(8)                      Through glory and dishonor, through bad report and

          Good report. We are regarded as deceivers and yet we are

          Truthful

(9)                     As unknown and yet we are recognized, as dying

And yet look! We live, as punished and yet not

handed over to death

(10)     As sorrowing but ever rejoicing, as poor but making

many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all

things”

The above strategies are coming to test your salvation and ministry. But say no to excuses because you are not yielding to the trial. You are a victor over them already and not a victim

JAMES 2:2-4

(2)   “Consider it all Joy my brothers, when

you meet with various trials.

(3)   Knowing as you do that this  tested quality

Of your faith produce endurance.

(4)   But let endurance complete its work

So that you may be complete and sound

in all respects, not lacking in anything”

Endurance is good quality of a Soldier; with endurance you can change the world around you. So learn to endure all things for the sake of the cross.
