Name: Why Christians Suffer - Part 2: Don't Waste Your Suffering - 1 Peter 4 : 1-3 by Kharis Church
Duration: 53 min 2 s
Description: 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.

We are a chosen generation, a unique people born of God, meaning that although we may be in the world we are not of the world and its systems. The Bible tells us that because we are born of God we are able to overcome the world by our faith. Faith is directly linked to loving and obeying God - even the worldly things that may make obedience to God difficult, we are able to overcome. Faith is a love exercise that allows us to keep the commandments of God.

Keep The Commandments Of God

What you do not pray for, you are not entitled to enjoy. Because of this, as a believer, it is important that you consistently ask God to lead you and guide you. Whether this is in good times or bad times, ask God for guidance on what you should do.

Lord Deliver And Lead Me

There is a certain level of glory that follows suffering. Christ suffered to give us an example of how we should also suffer. If you don’t have a mindset to suffer for doing God’s work, you will never be useful in the hands of God.  When you are suffering for Jesus, it brings you into closer fellowship with Him.

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

Everything created has an end. When you understand that you are running out of tomorrows, you are provoked to live better. There is no way you can live an effective Christian life without the end being in view. Because the end is at hand, you must start to approach life from a different angle. Realise that you are running out of time!

What To Do When You Are Running Out Of Time - 1 Peter 4:7-11

In this new series of teachings, Dr. Antwi outlines the central role the word of God, it's understanding and the ability to allow it speak to us and direct our paths, play in respect of God doing new things in our life.

Dr. David Antwi - The seed Is The Word

God can give up on you, on a nation and on a generation. The wrath of God can come from, eternal wrath, end time wrath, cataclysmic wrath, consequential wrath and the foresaken wrath of God. The foresaken wrath of God is when God completely gives up on you.

When God Gives Up On... Pt 1

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

When we begin to walk with God, we have been enlisted into an army, and as part of an army, we must not relax when there is an enemy on our territory. Any negative situation that has stayed in your life persistently is the enemy in your territory, the sign of a curse. One way to suspend such a curse is to serve God diligently. We must engage ourselves in Kingdom service, both humbly and diligently, to procure the blessing of God over our lives. You can’t be serving God and be a victim.

Serving God Suspends Curses

Miracles are provoked, they do not just happen. We must position ourselves to receive our miracles from God. To see the miracles in effect in our lives, we must first start by loading ourselves with the word of God and having strong faith. Every miracle God performs is on the platform of His word.
