TRUSTING GOD AMIDST OF PAIN AND FRUSTRATION
TRUSTING GOD AMIDST OF PAIN AND FRUSTRATION
First we need to understand what trust or trusting is and on this definition I'll borrow from two God's generals. Prophet TB JOSHUA said, " To trust in God is to have total dependence on Him and His word". Also then Apostle Joshua Selman said, " Trusting God is to over throne your will above His".
But how can you trust someone you don't know? The scriptures tell us in the book of Psalms 9:10 a) And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: and also we see in Daniel 11:32 b) but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. Then we see God telling us in b part of Psalms such He will never forsake or abandon.
But nowdays we see many Christians proclaiming they trust in God and His name but most of the time we see that fading away in their lives and mouth onces they are in the amidst of pain and frustration and they is a say that say, " A true Christian is knowing in the midst of pains"
So trusting in God amidst of pain and frustration it a deep dimension were it need a Christian who hunger and thirsty for God, were you say me my life is Christ. Remember Apostle Paul onces said this Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
So this dimension of understanding had made him to be strong in all the pains and frustration that came to him. Because he understood this revelation Romans 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
This is an example onto each one of us that it takes a dimension of knowing( from knowledge) HIM so that you can stand strong. So we see most of the Christians be like a house that was built on sand that floods or storm came it falls, why? Because we are just called the " so called Christians" who just love to be called the name Christian. Forgetting that the name Christian carries weight, we see that Christian name came after people in Antioch saw that the doings of the Apostles were the same as Christ Himself. Meaning that they saw this people overcoming pains and frustration around their lives as Christ did that till death He remained obedience unto God the Father, why? Cause Christ carried a demension of Me and My Father are one and that is the same mentality the Apostles had and is the same one expected onto us. Let the mind that was Christ be in you also.
Remember Hebrews 5:8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. So means this storms they come to strength us and to help us live an obedience life unto God and believe His will.
Jesus is an example as He showed us and is upto us to follow for when you are born again it's Christ living in You now and you carry the marks of Jesus. Remember Jesus said, "no servant is greater than His master"
Mark 10:38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”39 They said to Him, “We are able.”So Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized;
Before I conclude most of the times we like to feel Jesus as abandon us when we are in traps but remember when the storm came when Jesus was with His disciples in the boat. Jesus was there but was quite imagine the waters started felling up the boat and Jesus asleep!!!! Hmmm not untill they called on Him He proved that is indeed big than the storm.
So we learn that God to be silent is His nature so that He see if you will call and trust on Him, for the name of our LORD is the strong tower and the righteous run to it and they are safe. But most of us we get confused when we are in the amidst of pain and frustration and we start using our own ability by puting our trust in other things and God will be watching you till those things and your ability fail you and release that only God can do this. Thus why the scripture says not by mighty nor power but My Spirit. This is the reason many stay in to much pains and frustration cause we lack the knowledge of God we have rejected it.
For blessed is a man who put His trust in the Lord and cursed is the one who trust in a human being.
We see Shaderick, Mesheck and Abenego showing us that, were men say even if God can not save us will not bow to this image ( ways of the devil) and the fire in the furnace can represent the pains and frustration you are passing through but the question is that are you going to allow it to destroy your trust in the Lord. Look the life of Job, Daniel and many men of faith in the bible .
So you need to understand God can not let you die in those pains and frustration all He needs from us is play our role of desiring to know Him more like Paul said. And live a life of prayer, word of God. For God is the word and those word from the bible reveal to us His dimension so that we start trusting in Him. Rejoice and praying always this are dimensions to frustrate the pains and frustrations on you AMEN.
Hebrews 2:18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
May God help us to Trust in the Lord, let this be your prayer
God bless you all .
Share and invite someone to bless your beloved to save lives and Christ commanded.
God is good: we are a testimony; Everytime:we are getting better and better.
