Count Not It As Strange Experience

MEDITATION

James 1:1-15
Don't count it a strange experience please

1. The reality v2.
You will at one time or the other experience divers (not just one) situations that will tend to shake your faith John 16:33.
2. The righteousness v2,12.
This is different from temptations to sin. Believers are not to fall into temptations but we will fall into trials. We are not to endure temptations but to resist them; we are to endure trials. No sinner will experience a trial of faith because they don't have saving faith.
3. The rationale v3.
Trials of faith are permitted by God to try, test, toughen and make your faith triumphant in troublous times.



4. The roughness v8.
It is a rough experience that will expose your hypocrisy and unfaithfulness, if you don't have genuine faith, thereby propelling you to seek for the real experience.
5. The radiance v2.
Radiate the joy of the Lord without despondency because trials show that God is interested in pulling you out of the register  of hypocrites and ordinary Christians.
6. The rightness
Every believer will experience it because there is no success without scrutiny, triumph without test, divine promotion without definite purification.
7. The result
Perfection of grace and character needed to fully enjoy and be used of God to the fullest.
8. The rule v4.
You must endure to the end if you want to enjoy the full blessings and benefits.
9. The resource vv5-7.
Always ask for wisdom and grace to sail through with joy.
10. The reward v12.
Eternal reward, including the crown of life, will be given to the triumphant.
Thank you God because trial of faith will not crush me and it is for my good🙏
Holy Spirit, ever give me joy of the Lord to radiate His glory whenever I am tried🙏
I hereby ask for grace and strength to always overcome all my trials and endure to the end🙏
Lord, I ask for the joy of the Lord, which the world cannot take away, for those passing through trials of faith in the Church🙏

Sheep’s Clothing!

Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration

Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated. If you haven’t celebrated this year, this month grace will make you celebrate and if you had celebrated, your celebration will not cease or to sorrow. God will put laughter on your face, royal garments on you and you will be recompensed for all the cel

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
