The Better Suffering
1 Peter 3:17-18 KJV
[17] For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
[18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Are you suffering, in pains or in distress? If yes, then is it a good or bad suffering? Not all suffering are good ones. Suffering for ones wrong doing is a norm but suffering for others wrong doing is unconventional and ill.
Jesus suffered for doing good and this is expected of us. It is a righteous thing to suffer for good. So brethren, it is not enough to say you're suffering but for what reason are you suffering?
Beloved, your faith in God has enlisted your name for suffering based on your good, John 15:18-19; 17:14, 2 Corin 1:2-11; 12:10, 2 Timothy 3:11-12.
May God help us to maintain our faith, love and zeal for Him during our period of suffering for good doing.
Shalom!
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...
