TEXT 1 PETER 4: 12-13
TOPIC : BECOMING STRONG THROUGH ADVERSITIES.
[12]Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
[13]But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Adversity is simply a difficult or painful situation.
Beloved in this world difficult and painful situations do occur, sometimes even to good people.
The bible talks about a day of adversity, a day when Satan pays you a visit.
That day happens once in a while to different people but surely they do occur.
In Proverbs 24:10, the bible encourages you to stand firm on our day of adversity.
"If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small."
We have different types of adversities, it could come as a major failure, loss of a job, a precious property, a valued relationship or even a loved one.
These attacks are ochestrated by hell to test your confidence in your God.
They are arranged to know how rooted your trust is in God.
These attacks are not from God, they are made to look as if they are from our God.
Beloved, no matter how hell packages the adversity, ensure that it does not drive you away from God.
God is the only one that can help you in times of trouble.
The hopes and plans of Satan will be achieved once the adversity succeeds in driving you away from your only true helper, God.
I pray for you, that God will strengthen you in your periods of adversity.
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 day 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
