TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself.

UNITY

UNITY

Devotional:- And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them” (v.6) NKJV

    A trick of the devil the church must come up to overcome today is the spirit of division and self-centeredness. The body of Jesus has to come up with the understanding that the diversity of the gift and ability of the Holy Spirit is not for division but for unity, edification and to build a strong body of Christ that will be stronger than all devices of the devil.

Unity is a strength ordained for the church. That was what the people building the tower of Babel were tapping into. God’s word calls it an anointing [Psalm 133:1-3] Your family needs that anointing, your business needs it, and your local assembly needs it.

The church must be very careful of disunity. The moment someone have a little light or some gift, he thinks he will need to go and stand alone. But such will soon discover that he is not self-sufficient. This is how the body of Christ has not been able to evangelize the world today. Devil tricked the church into division by the gifts.

Friend, except otherwise instructed, stay in your local church with your gift. It’s never going to be easy. Wherever you find people, you are bound to find misunderstandings. But don’t let that make you detach yourself from the house of God.  As the church live in great strength of God shall be available through the church to the world. Peace!

ASK: Lord, Give Me the Grace To Unite In Strength progress
