In our Christian journey trials are very important to our growth and bringing the best out of our lives. Although Satan, most times, brings temptations our way to pull us down or destroy us but God turns them into stepping stones that usher us into the next level.
Despite the fact that we are a royal priesthood and a holy nation we should also remember that we are soldiers of Jesus Christ. One of the criteria of choosing a king in Israel in those days was that he should be a warrior that could take the people to war. Let’s know that we are soldiers of Jesus Christ also therefore we should be ready to fight the good fight of faith.
The Christian race is not a hinge-free profession. There are lots of trials and sufferings that inherent the narrow path. The Bible makes it very clear: “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake” (Philippians 1:29)
Every act of kindness has a reward. There’s nothing that does not count when it comes to bearing the fruit of goodness, every good deed done with a good motive has a reward from God.
Giving to the poor is a command from the Lord. It is the responsibility of every believer and it has rewards from God when it is done the right way.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27 KJV)
