Amazing inspiration for the week

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!

Sometimes life gets in the way of living

Sometimes life gets in the way of living. You can go through such trying circumstances that you forget who you are. There are things you may experience that can kill your spirit, faith and your identity. In losing hope you begin to lose yourself. You can forget everything, your strength, your hope, your self-esteem, your pride, your past achievements and you become what the circumstance says you are. For example if you are broke instead of thinking this is a temporary circumstance, you begin to think I am poor. If you have failed in an exam or in business you being to think I am a failure. If you have failed in your marriage you begin to think no man or woman will ever want me anymore. 

You begin to doubt yourself and worst of all you become what the enemy, your accusers and what the devil says you are….you are not good enough, you are nothing special, your God has forgotten you……… Then you lie down and let life’s circumstances have its way. ……Get in the way of living, get in the way of who you are and what God has ordained you to do.

You should never forget who you are in Christ, the bible says in Psalm 139:14; YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. Don’t let life or any other thing, person or circumstance tell you otherwise. Who said you are special? "THUS SAYS THE LORD, YOUR REDEEMER, AND HE WHO FORMED YOU FROM THE WOMB..." Isaiah 44:24.

Say to the enemy I can never be what you say I am! I am what God says I am! I am not a failure! I am not a debtor! I am not a sinner! I am not a gold digger!I am not an adulterer! I shall not be sad! I shall not despair! I shall not be humbled!

I AM BEAUTIFUL! I AM A SUCCESS! I AM A WINNER! I AM A SURVIVOR! I AM A CHILD OF GOD!  I AM HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED BEFOREHAND THAT I SHOULD WALK IN THEM" Ephesians 2:10

God will never forget you, even if you wanted him to. As a result of Christ’s death and resurrection see Galatians 3:14. These promise God made in Isaiah 44:21; to Jacob and Israel accrue also to us; REMEMBER THESE, O JACOB AND ISRAEL; FOR THOU ART MY SERVANT: I HAVE FORMED THEE; THOU ART MY SERVANT: O ISRAEL, THOU SHALT NOT BE FORGOTTEN OF ME.

After reading this today walk with your head held high! Tell your enemies, tell life and all its circumstances. You shall not get in the way of the life God wants me to lead. I shall not forget who I am in Christ. He has not finished with me yet! You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose for me in my life will prevail. As he said in Proverbs 19:21; MY PURPOSE WILL STAND, AND I WILL DO WHAT PLEASES ME. And it pleases God that you shall live the best life.

I assure you that this will fill your morning with the Holy Spirit.
