When you go through hardships, trials and pain, learn to praise God in these circumstances!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

Good morning, my dear friends!

I am glad to greet you on the pages of our „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”

Today I would like to talk to you about the advantages that are hidden in pain and problems. Pain and problems – they are the things that God uses to spiritually discipline and develop us. We learn obedience through the things we suffer.

«..though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered» (Hebrews, 5: 8).

Gold is purified in high temperatures. Sufferings are ‘high temperature’ that purifies us. Our faith must be like purified gold.

“But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job, 23:10).

God uses sufferings to make our faith more precious. The Bible talks about it in 1st Peter (1:6-7):

“In this your greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ”.

Right attitude towards trials – it is when we rejoice before God and hand over our situations to Him. It is vital to grasp that those who desire to live a godly life will suffer, but God knows how to take us through and deliver from any difficult situation. Our part is to love God and be obedient to Him.

Besides it is important to understand that the manner how we go through difficulties affects other people. If our reaction to hard things of life is correct, it helps other people to come to God.

God’s word to you today is: when you go through hardships, trials and pain, learn to praise God in these circumstances!

Till tomorrow!

Through the reading of the Bible we are shown the direction for our thought life, our words and all other areas of our lives.Besides, the Bible is profitable for reproof. Quite often we start walking the way the Bible has shown us, but then we somehow get distracted, lose the right direction and get sidetracked.

    I want to begin this word with a story: A man had a wonderful garden that brought him a rich, abundant harvest. When his neighbor saw that, he decided that the next spring he would make a garden for himself too. But after the neighbor had sawn seeds in his garden, he did not do anything there afterward. He did not water his garden, did not cultivate, neither loosened the soil. When the autumn came, his garden was neglected and full with weeds. And, of course, it did not bring forth any fruit.

    Spirit of competition .Some people are moved by the desire to prove to others what they can do. Those that are moved by this spirit can’t be still if they see someone else doing better than them. These people continually try to prove something to others, because they compare themselves to others all the time. They live according to someone else’s schedule since they do not have their own. The word of God said this is a wrong attitude:

    At these last days many people feel down, worry about daily needs, love in many of them gets cold but anger, resentments, hatred and cruelty grow up because of illegitimacy, treason and cheating multiply. But my dear friend, it´s meaningless to follow the majority, while your faith shall bring you a breakthrough and victory! You will learn how to live without worries because your faith knows that the loving God cares for you, faith knows how to cast all your worries on the Lord.

    No matter what you do, no matter what your status in life and no matter what your circumstances, if you can have access to the presence of God, you will succeed. Joseph was in slavery, sold to a foreign land by his own blood brothers, but that could not stop his prosperity.What really determine our success or prosperity in life is the presence of God with us. The way might not be easy. The journey might be longer than we think, but if God is with us the way will be decked with the goodness and the favour of God.
