The Lord is with you even when you don't believe it and feel alone! |
IS IT TRUE THAT ALL THINGS WORK
TOGETHER FOR OUR GOOD?
Can you sing with me?
Therefore, I take pleasure in
infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distress for
Christ’s sake: for when am weak, them am made strong’
Let’s face it; whatever you may
be going through the Lord uses it for his own purpose, at least to transform
your life. It includes all the good things
and the bad thing and so on.
If you don’t take care you might
thing “all things work together for our good “(Rom 8:28) is not true but it is.
This scripture includes all the terrible things you never want to go through.
You have to understand that pain is part of Christianity and God uses it to
make your life better.
Paul had a weakness and prayed
that God should remove it but he did not. Later on Paul said he rejoices in his
weakness, because when he is weak then he is made strong. ‘My strength is made
perfect in your weakness’ (2 Cor 12: 7-10).
For instance, when you feel self
righteous and you wouldn’t pray and you get embarrassed with fornication you
will be humble and pray and seek the face of the Lord. A lot of self righteous
prophets often get swallowed by the whale and now they loss their appetite and
do their three day fast and in the final analysis end up saving a whole city
like Nineveh (Jonah 1,2,3,4).
Paul, who conspired to kill the disciples
after suffering the physical ailment of blindness, fasted for three days and
look what that did for him, greatest ministry ever!
If you don’t take care sometimes
you might speak against God like Job but later on you will see at the end and
speak like Job, ‘I repent in dust and ashes’. It happened to me too.
Even though my heart was tearing
in my chest I was praising God, because I saw what he was doing with my life.
In all things give thanks to God but most importantly find where the Lord is
leading you with that issue you may be going through! Don’t waste the experiences
the Lord brings your way, they are your promotion! Stay blessed!!
