Good day friends
I would like to remind you of the title of this message -
In the fulfilling of purpose and destiny
PROCESS is not punishment
I think many of us need to hear these words today as we are going through the process of refinement, prunings, shaping and molding. The process can involve great suffering or even walking through the "fire"
When we look at the Biblical greats of Abraham, Joseph and David - God spoke of great purpose and destiny for each of those characters and it was followed by great suffering.
I begin to understand more clearly as I look at these lives the purpose of suffering.
Again I remind you - there is no suffering in the Kingdom that goes without rewards after endurance.
So here are the benefits of the "process"
1 Our character is shaped and molded by God himself as we surrender, yield and submit to him
2 We learn total absolute dependence on God for strength, provision, protection, just simply everything
3 We will definitely be "cured" of any other sources like man or world systems
4 We become strong and as bold as lions
5 We prove God experiencially - we discover him as healer, provider, protector, our all in all
6 We gain more wisdom and understanding
7 In the process of being broken and emptied we are filled with God’s power
Let me remind you dearly beloved, that if God brings us into any given situation or allows the process in our lives - he doesn't just leave us there, he will give us grace and strength and most of all he will walk with us through. Amen
Rest in him
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
Pastor J
