Suffering is a necessary requirement in our journey to glory. Glory always follows our suffering. For us to utilise our suffering, we must have an attitude of endurance. Your suffering has an assignment and purpose, don’t waste it. Arm yourself with the mindset that if you are partaking in Christ’s suffering, you will also partake in the eternal glory and blessings that are ahead.

Why Christians Suffer - Part 2: Don't Waste Your Suffering - 1 Peter 4 : 1-3

The Christ rejecting generation is an evil generation. The death of Christ saves us from eternal damnation and His life saves us from a wicked generation. If you want a brand new world, you need people with a renewed heart. Jesus is the only one who can change our hearts from the inside out.

Save Us From This Generation, O Lord

The Christian life begins with faith and is sustained with love towards God. As believers, we must continue in the faith and ensure we do not walk away from the hope of the gospel; they work hand in hand. Faith, love and hope are the three dimensions of a Christian life. If these three abound in us, we will experience the great blessing we have in God.

The Three Dimensional Christian Life

According to Romans 6:22, we have been set free from sin to become slaves of God. If you are a genuine servant, you will serve. There must be clear behavioural marks that shows you’re a genuine slave of Christ. To obey the law of God, it takes the spirit, the love and obedience of a slave.

Freed, Yet Slaves

Before the fall, plant life was for feeding. After the fall, they needed the animal life for feeding and redeeming. Jesus is the Lamb of God for our feeding and for our redeeming. This is why He said we should eat His flesh and drink His blood. To eat Christ means to believe in Christ. When you believe in Christ, it means you are feeding on Him.

Eat My Flesh And Drink My Blood

Christ’s death on the cross is not an ordinary death. It’s a redemptive death; don’t normalise it. To believe in Christ means you are eating His flesh and drinking His blood.

Life can be challenging and come with unexpected incidents and situations. God will not give up on you, so don’t give up on God. In the difficult times and in the stress of life, count your blessings and not your burdens

Count Your Blessings, Not Your Burdens

If God is going to speak to you, He will do so through an authorised agent (prophet). A prophet is someone who speaks forth on behalf of God in the interest of God’s eternal agenda. You cannot accept Jesus and detach Him from the prophets. The testimony of Jesus is the core, the essence and the spirit of prophecy.

I Believe The Prophets

Life is full of seasons. As long as we remain on this earth, there will be a season for everything. You might go through a season of difficulty or hard times, but this is not permanent. Jesus also went through such a season. For Christ, the cross was that season but, it wasn’t permanent. The only permanent thing in life is God’s word and God’s promise. If you are going through a time or season that seems difficult or frustration, rest assured that it is not the end and there are better days ahead.

What To Do In Times Of Crisis

When we become born again we are introduced to a number of spiritual realities, and unseen things. Therefore, being a true worshipper is not based on the things we can see and touch, or our natural senses or norms. It is based on the condition of our hearts, and the genuineness of our worship. Thus, when we gather to worship our spirits are one, we become one body. It is by the virtue of Jesus Christ that we become one, and we must not exempt ourselves from the gathering of the brethren.

We Are One

God answers based on us calling His Name. When we ask in His Name it shall be given unto us. This message teaches us what happens, when we call on the name of the Lord. When we call on the name of the Lord the following things happen: God hears us, he comes down to help us, he will show us what to do and raises a deliverer or a prophet on our behalf.
