When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned. Isaiah 43:2+

Fear is the worst enemy for all Christians. Fear would paralyzes, frustrates and cripples you. Franklin D Roosevelt said one time " The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". So how do you trust God in difficult times? Have not you wondered why something happens after the other? When you just came out of that situation and the other one already has attacked you? How about the people you do really believed on, it could also be a family member/Very good friend somebody you counted on betray you again and again? You turn around to find that there is none left you can count on? How about you have lost most important things for you in life? How do you move on? I would say "Believe", even when you don't see the light "Believe", even when you are not understanding "Believe". Because the promise of God is true, When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze .Isaiah 43:2. Tribulation test our faith, when Jesus Christ is revealed then our sufferings will be worth then.  If a gold is not tried in fire, then how do we know it is real gold then???



Tribulations test our identity as Christians. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. Matthew 7:25. Are we the seed that fell on a good soil and produced a good crop, did we stay connected to the source of life and were not we destroyed by trouble? by Persecution? By Crap of life? When we deal with tribulation as we should, the only one that authenticate our true identity as believers. We may have been shaken, but with Gods help we will never be moved. Tribulation test our sense of purpose, Blessed is the man who preserves under trail because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised. James 1:2. Tribulations help you identify your purpose in life, challenges open your eyes, they show you the right directions.

 Tribulation tests our obedience- the reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. 2 Corinthians 2:9. Trust me it is easy to stick around by anyone or anywhere when it is happy days, but who does it through difficult times.? Challenges test our obedience. We also learn how to rely on God. Remember when it is dark, even your shadow leaves you! You will be looking and looking and find *None* and you will finally learn, Man it was only God you have ever needed. You will rely on his hands and his love is good enough. God is sufficient for everything. Have you ever been in a situation where you just say, my God I cant do this one and just hope that God will turn back the situation? But this is what challenges teach us, that is how your faith should have been in the first place, even when you had it all you just rely on God! Trust me, it is a proven fact that everyone will leave but only the Almighty God. "We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many" (2 Corinthians 1:8-11). Most of all challenges are made for us to grow,... problems or the opportunities of growth.  I cant say it all in one day but I prey and hope I Pass mine first :)- and I hope you all pass yours too. Because not everybody passes the test. Remember God is faithful and anything is possible for him all we need to do is to prey and believe on him.

God is powerful, everything on his hands, God is all knowing, he is awesome and Mighty and good. God loves us all therefore if we are his and he is with us there is nothing we should absolutely fear. Let it go and let God handle it all. Yes I believe God is on our side. If you are Miss now like me, you will struggle a lot. Let go of thinking life should always go your way but let God does it on his own time, in his own way. Whatever his answers are, Yes, Wait and No, all of them are best. As long as you are doing what you can and supporting yourself with Prayers, it truly does not matter. Prayers are the best for all of us. Ask God for help by praying. He never said it would be easy but he promises that we are overcomers through him. ³³ “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”John 16:33. You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them. Looking at those Saints and knowing and learning how they have overcome this world will help us overcome too. Reading their stories, listening to it will help us overcome. Opening eyes and being grateful will add more blessings. The simple act of noticing the good things we have in life help us become positive and remembering the gifts of God from the past and remembering how he has made you overcome in the past will help overcome the future. ....
How about this one for the rest of life's knock out's- " When I am afraid my Lord, I will trust in you"; +++

We remember "Ebsoy" the fighter the martyr today. Such a chosen man from Christian parents who served the Lord. A faithful deacon who was sent into prison for refusing to worship gods, but only to worship the true God.  St Gabriel had come to this saint many times to save him from his tribulations. Because he refused to worship false idols , they cut off his head and made it fall on the sea shore. They took his body and head and threw them into a skin and his head joined to his body through miracle and it became as if it was never cut off. After ten days without any man help it came to the house of Boha and it was buried...But we see in how much troubles the saints come through for the love of God. And verily in like manner have the martyrs rejected the desire of this world and poured out their blood for God and have endured bitter death for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. HYMN PRAISE FOR THE FIFTH DAY OF THE WEEK (THURSDAY).
but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved...Matthew 24:13+++

May the Almighty help us all. +
