WHY DOES GOD ALLOWS HIS CHILDREN TO SUFFER?


Why does God allows His children to suffer hardship when He has the power and resources to help them? Why do Christians go through hard times? All through the scripture, we see God taking His children through hard times over and over again! In fact, God specifically told Abraham that his children will be in a foreign land where they will be treated like slaves when He was unveiling His plan concerning Abraham to him. (Genesis15:13-14). This is just like telling Abraham, “My friend, this is my plan for you and your children. I will take your children to a foreign land and enslave them for 400 years and after that, I will bring them out to the land I promised you!”....

Was there not a better plan God would have used to take Abraham children to the promised land? Why does God choose this plan?

‭‭”For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water: But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place” Psalms 66:10-12 (King James Version).

Let's learn from each other!

WITHOUT ME, YOU CAN DO NOTHING

“...for without me ye can do nothing” John 15:5 (King James Version). As far as God is concern no man or woman on this planet earth will be able to do anything meaningful with his or her life without Jesus Christ. No man or woman will be able to realize the plan and purpose of God upon his or her life without Jesus Christ. You can have all the money in the world but if you don’t have Jesus Christ you will not still make it! “And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul” Matthew 16:26 (New Living Translation). When I said you will not still make it, I’m not just referring to making it to Heaven, I’m talking about making it right here on the earth. That is, making your life count on the earth. If you don’t have Jesus Christ, all you think you have now will be useless in the nearest future. They will be useless even before you leave this world let alone after you’ve left. All you think you have n...

HOW DO WE BUILD OUR FAITH TO ACCESS OUR INHERITANCE?

We have been looking at faith since we started. As I said before, our mission is to build the belivers' faith so that they can access their inheritance in Christ Jesus. This is the tasks God gave us. Therefore, it shall be our main message in this commission. We have seen that we cannot do anything in this kingdom without faith. We cannot please God without faith. We cannot access His provisions without faith. We can't even survive as Christians without faith. If faith is that important, why then some Christians treat the subject of faith as if is not important? We have seen from our previous messages that faith is what we need to access our inheritance in Christ Jesus (Hebrews 11:6, Acts 20:32) How can we build our faith to access our inheritance in Christ? We discovered from the scripture that every Born again child of God has some element of faith (Romans 12:3). But many never made any effort to build their faith from the day they gave their lives to Christ. The faith you re...

UNVEILING THE HIDDEN TREASURES OF WISDOM

What is more valuable than wisdom? What else can add beauty and colour to a man’s life like wisdom? Wisdom is the principal treasure among all the treasures available to mankind. No one can ignore wisdom and have a good story to tell in this life. No one can fulfill his or her destiny here on earth without wisdom and understanding.  All our labour will amount to nothing at the end if not carried out with wisdom and understanding.  The value of wisdom is beyond what money can buy! The value of wisdom is beyond all the treasures of this world put together! Wisdom was the tool God used to make the universe.‭‭  “The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; By understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, And the clouds drop down the dew” Proverbs 3:19-20 (King James Version). Everything God created was created through wisdom and understanding. All the beautiful creatures, all the wonderful laws and order. All the variety of food to ke...
