8. LESSON 647: COMFORT FOR SUFFERING BELIEVERS MEMORY VERSE: “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 TEXT:2 Corinthians 1:1-24

9. INTRODUCTION From our previous study we learn to: • Show practical love to the needy brethren. • Plan and depend on the Spirit of God for direction in evangelistic outreaches.Continue God’s work in the face of opposition. • Remain watchful, steadfast, spiritually strength and courageous. • In our study today, the Apostle re-affirm his calling and ministry • Paul encourages the saints against sufferings, by the comforts and deliverances which God had given him as in all his afflictions • All members of the body of Christ should serve as source of comfort and consolation to suffering believers • It also reveals what our conduct should be in times of severe or extreme afflictions arising from our faith in Christ and ministry

He sympathizes with His members when they suffer for His sake. • The suffering believer need to pray for God’s help, read and meditate on God’s word, encourage self in the Lord, continue trusting God, exercise patience, remember God’s past faithfulness and remain optimistic about life
