Christians| Are we suppose to suffer? We are conformed to Christ’s likeness through suffering. It is the potters hand putting pressure on the clay. If there is no suffering there is no learning. Christ called us to sacrifice and die to self in our lives. We find consistently throughout the scriptures that those who live godly are not promised prosperity and health or are kept from suffering. What word of faith teachers promote is a lifestyle of want and blessing now instead of giving up their lives so that they will have treasure in heaven. Where they will spend the majority of their living. 1 Pet 4:12-16: “ Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christs sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other peoples matters. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. By suffering Gods glory is brought out this is the opposite of the faith teaching of God cannot be glorified if your sick or handicapped. We will progress with more this week! #SufferingisGrace #LetusReasonMinistries
