GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH 2 (Learn from the trials you're facing)

 "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)


Often, when someone is going through challenges in life, what they really want to hear is how to get out of that situation. And every time they pray to God, they ask Him to deliver them from that suffering. But you need to understand that there are certain trials you must go through. Some of these trials are actually set by God as a school to teach you something.

Even in my own experience, some people come to me and say, "Man of God, please pray for this situation to end in my life or for me to come out of this problem." But for some of them, I respond by saying, "You will still go through this trial because God wants you to learn something."

Deuteronomy 8:2-3 says:
"And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord."

So when God allows you to go through difficult times, He has a reason. What you need to do is pray and ask Him to teach you and show you the reason you're going through what you're facing now. Because once you’ve learned the lesson, that’s when the trial ends.

Today’s message is meant to encourage you who are facing a tough time and to strengthen your faith. God says He is with you to strengthen you so you can come through safely. He also says do not be dismayed. So, don’t complain and say, “God, don’t You see?” or “God, are You really there? Why won’t You get me out of this trouble?”

What God wants from you is to learn humility and patience. That’s why He has allowed this trial.

So God has not abandoned you. In His time, He will lift you up and answer your prayers. And the shame, distress, and poverty you're experiencing today will become history. He will bless you and wipe away all your tears.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I ask You to strengthen me by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Grant me patience and Your wisdom that will carry me safely through this trial. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
