TOPIC : THE PREVAILING FORCE OF TRUST
TEXT : HEBREWS 11 : 36-40
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment.
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
These verses were referring to experiences that departed saints went through in their service to a most powerful God.
In the service of their father, some were hewn into pieces like fire wood.
Some were burnt on stakes, while others were served as meals to lions and other carnivorous beasts yet they died trusting.
They watched their faiths gradually dissipate as their spirits severed from their earthly bodies yet they trusted that their eternal reward will be worth their earthly pains.
They looked forward to an eternal paradise of tranquility where their father promised them.
Do not change your God, do not change your church, trust the ever faithful God, His reward is forever.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled Sunday service in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
