GOD'S
PERFECT PROMISE TO CHRISTIAN WHO FACE SOME UN-EXPECTED SITUATION IN CHRISTIAN
LIFE BUT GOD MADE IT A BLESSING TO THEM.
(Romans 8:28) And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according
to his purpose.
1. PAUL EXPERIENCE A DEEP SICKNESS IN HIS LIFE BUT GOD
COMFORTED HIM AND EXPERIENCE THE PERFECT HEALING FROM GOD.
( II Corinthians
1:4-10 ) [4]Who
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which
are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
[5]For as the sufferings of Christ
abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
[6]And whether we be afflicted, it
is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of
the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for
your consolation and salvation.
[7]And our hope of you is
stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be
also of the consolation.
[8]For we would not, brethren,
have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed
out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
[9]But we had the sentence of
death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which
raiseth the dead:
[10]Who delivered us from so great
a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
2. JOB EXPERIENCE A DEEP TRIALS IN CHRISTIAN LIFE THAT
MADE HIM A TOTAL DOWN IN CHRISTIAN LIFE BUT AT THE END GOD BLESS HIM A MULTIPLE
BLESSING THAT HE CANNOT ABLE TO COUNT.
( Job 42:10-17) [10]And the LORD turned the
captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice
as much as he had before.
[11]Then came there unto him all
his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his
acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned
him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him:
every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
[12]So the LORD blessed the latter
end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six
thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
[13]He had also seven sons and
three daughters.
[14]And he called the name of the
first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third,
Kerenhappuch.
[15]And in all the land were no
women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them
inheritance among their brethren.
[16]After this lived Job an
hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four
generations.
[17]So Job died, being old and
full of days.
3. GOD TEST THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM BY ASKING HIM TO OFFER HIS ONLY SON ISAAC TO THE ALTAR. HE
OBEYED GOD WITHOUT ANY QUESTION AND GOD BLESS HIM A BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS THAT HE
CANNOT ABLE TO COUNT.
(Genesis
22:1-2,7-13,16-18) [1]And it
came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him,
Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
[2]And he said, Take now thy son,
thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah;
and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will
tell thee of.
[7]And Isaac spake unto Abraham
his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said,
Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
[8]And Abraham said, My son, God
will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them
together.
[9]And they came to the place
which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood
in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
[10]And Abraham stretched forth
his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
[11]And the angel of the LORD
called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am
I.
[12]And he said, Lay not thine
hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou
fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
[13]And Abraham lifted up his
eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns:
and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in
the stead of his son.
[16]And said, By myself have I
sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son:
[17]That in blessing I will bless
thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven,
and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the
gate of his enemies;
[18]And in thy seed shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
4. ANTIOCH CHURCH WAS PERSECUTED AND WAS SCATTERED ABROAD
BUT DO NOT STOP PREACHING AND SHARING THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST AT THE END, GOD'S
HAND WAS THEM AND MANY PRECIOUS SOULS WERE GET SAVED.
( Acts 11:19-24 ) [19]Now they which were scattered
abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as
Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews
only.
[20]And some of them were men of
Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the
Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
[21]And the hand of the Lord was
with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
[22]Then tidings of these things
came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth
Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
[23]Who, when he came, and had
seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of
heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
[24]For he was a good man, and
full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
5. ALL INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIAN WHO LOVE GOD IS NOT EXEMPTED
TO EXPERIENCE DEEP TRIALS IN THEIR CHRISTIAN LIFE BUT WE CAN COUNT ON GOD'S
PROMISE ON OUR BIBLE VERSE
( Romans 8:28 ) And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according
to his purpose.
a. This Promise of all things work together for good are for those
Christians who always love God in their Christian life.
b. If Paul, Job, Abraham and
Antioch Church and Jerusalem Church who experienced deep deep trials and
troubles in their Christian life but God it for good because they love God so
much in their life. To God be the glory.
* God bless you all always *
