TITLE: “We SUFFER to Understand”
INSPIRATION: Certain virtues we must learn by suffering to gain understanding of the situation.
1 Peter 5:10 “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”
God’s Grace keeps us moving! We are here today only because of His Grace, Nothing else! All we have is by His Grace! All that we do is by His Grace! We have nothing and know nothing of our own, we owe it all to God. For us to understand some life scenarios, we must experience them ourselves. Believe it or not, you cannot understand what the poor faces unless you have experienced poverty. You will not understand ministry except you were once a follower. You cannot learn prudence and financial intelligence unless lack has dealt with you. You cannot truly understand the discomfort of a person with a disability. Sometimes God put usin certain positions so we can minister to other people.
Sometime ago, I had a friend who was always borrowing money and would not pay back, he kept on borrowing even when he had not paid off the last loans. I asked him annoyingly one day “Why don’t you know how to manage your salary?” He would explain that he had a lot to cater for, his siblings, sick dad and all these long stories. All the stories did not even touch me. As naïve as I was, I forgot that it was God’s Grace that put me in the position to have and to give. Hmm… Sincerely Speaking, I didn’t really understand until I hit BROKEE!!! Chai!!! Na so e bi??? Omo, I was humbled! I immediately understood my friend’s situation!
How would David have respected the throne if he didn’t suffer for it. Saul got it on a platter of gold, without suffering; we know his end; he misused his position and messed up completely. Very few people who have won millions of money through lottery remained rich, most of them go broke because they didn’t suffer for it, they were not prepared. God will take us through some situations only to prepare us for the people He has sent us to, so that we don’t mess it up! Don’t worry about what you are going through, God is preparing you! He would turn your story to glory so He can deliver others with similar stories when they hear your breakthrough testimony. You will speak about God’s deliverance in your life and many will be delivered in Jesus Name! Amen!!!!
