Not Exempt

Go Through

Not because you are a child of God or a Believer of Jesus Christ means that you are exempt from facing trials. No my friend, for the very fact that you believe on and in the word of God you will be tested. Not because God wants to punish you, but because his name will be glorified and you will reap the benefits. Have you ever notice when you are standing on the promises of God, how things something seems to be haywire.

You find there are problems in your health, your family, your spouse, your finances, etc. You then find yourself questioning how God allows this. Not to mention the negative word from the naysayers. However, when you are trusting in God, it doesn’t matter what anyone or anything say. It only matter what he thinks, for he is the only one who knows how your story will turn out. In addition, your faith must be strong to trust in him because it also determines the outcomes.

What are trials? It’s the things that want to frustrate you. It the negative reports despite believing for positive one. It’s the creditors who are calling. It’s receiving the pink slip on the job. It’s the spouse who is acting like the fool. It’s the children who are unruly and disobedient, etc. But don’t look at what they are doing or what your eyes are seeing. Look at what God sees. He see changes, he see family coming together. He sees a better opportunity to increase your pay. He sees recovery and total healing in your health.   He sees all good things. POINT BLANK!!!!!!

My friend, no one is exempt from trials. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den. Joseph was in thrown into the pit and then sold into slavery. Job lost everything. The three Hebrew boys were in the fire. But none of them were disappointed. Why? Because, of their faith God delivered and blessed them all. Not because they were good or bad but, because they believed and trust in God. They had they faith to trust in him to the end despite what they were seeing or was told. And that’s the faith we must have.

In fact, the word of God say , “ Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.[d] On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter” (1 Peter 4:12-16). Amen. So you see my friend, it’s written that we have to go through many trials but don’t think it is strange, rather rejoice and know you are coming out. It’s only a matter of time. Whatever is going on in your life, keep trusting in the Lord. Don’t give in or give up. Rejoice and know all is well. Be blessed.
