“SUFFERING” hinders Christians to their destiny because it’s viewed the wrong way.
“The boat sinks when the outside circumstances get in ” – Ptra. Kee
We need to renew our mindset. BIG OBSTACLES are not to kill you bur rather an…. OPPORTUNITY to KNOW GOD and His POWERS, and To GLORIFY Him in front of the enemy
David and Goliath Story (1 Samuel 17) David killed Goliath with a sling and a stone
DAVID knows GOD • Did not let outside stuff in (v 33) • He responded by saying he was delivered from the bear and the lions, HE will deliver me again!!!!
David takes off Man Made Solutions • Saul clothed him with his armor (v38) • David responded by taking it off and pick FIVE STONES and a sling
David Stood up in the LORD’s NAME • David came in the name of the LORD (v45-47) • David responded by running towards GOLAITH and killed him in one shot.
1 Samuel 18: 45-46 • 45Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’S, and He will give you into our hands.”
How we handle problems makes the difference between Christians and others. Standing up against the tests through God’s grace and mercy sets the difference between the matured and the not.
Romans 8:18 “18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us
Romans 8:37 37Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
