YOUR FAITH MUST STAND TRIAL

What I have come to fully understand and acknowledge about Christianity is Your faith must stand trial!

Your faith must stand trial! Many at times as Christians, when we see others going through hard times we seem to blame them or think their faith is not strong enough. Take the story of Job instead of his friends to console or help him. They came to castigate and blame him. Even his own wife who swore to stand by him was the first to desert him.

 Your faith must stand trial! As a Christian you have to be able to endure a fiery trial and show to God that you are there not just for the good times but for the bad as well.

Your faith must stand trial! The bible says in Revelation 12:11 and they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony. If your faith doesn’t stand trial how on this earth will you have the testimony to overcome? My mentor reminded me recently that the just shall live by faith Heb10:38. Live by faith! Trust in the lord with that abundant faith thatall things worketh for the good of those that love the lord Romans 8:28. Like in Job in Job 13:15 Say though he slay me, yet will i trust in him.

I have a personal testimony today, in this particular week on this particular day, in this particular hour, God lifted me. My faith had stood the greatest trial of all time.It was my greatest battle. I didn’t begin as seeing it as a trial of faith. I was bitter,I was angry at God but when I met my mentor and I started to pray. My attitude took a different turn. I decided to wait upon the Lord. In waiting on him, I grew stronger. The bible says in Isaiah 40:31 yet those who wait for the lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. I counted it all joy as James 1:2-8 said my brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. I let patience have its perfect work the hot headed Dentaa was no more. She was calm waiting patiently on the lord. looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith Hebrews 12:2.

Many a things were said, I heard things about me I even I could not believe myself. Many of the people I trusted and loved had begun to mock me. They thought it was all over! Even the person that was supposed to be closest to me I saw in his eyes that he had forsaken me and believed the words of my enemies. Just when I thought I could take it no more, I struggled out of bed but with an attitude of Gratitude, I forgave all that had been done and I praised God and I had the greatest news of my life.

Whoever you are, where ever you ar, I share this very private personal testimony with you so that you know that you are coming out of that trial victorious! The lord has not forgotten you yet! Tell your adversaries wait until you see me next year you shall bow your head down in shame! God is going to restore me! Say to them I have lost nothing in this trial I have become stronger and mightier! It is going to take so much more for you to bring me down again!

Your faith must stand trial! Though the trials of Job come neigh thee they will not break thee look what the man job said "But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold Job 23:10". And look what God did for Job the bible says So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning Job 42:12 And after he has tried you come forth as Gold shining brightly ready to tell the world what the Lord has done for you!
