Center verse: Hebrews 12:11( KJV). " Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby " Text: HEBREWS 12:5-13. A man by name Charles Surgeon, had a plaque with a passage of the Bible on a wall in his bedroom engraved: " I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. " He stated: " it is no mean thing to be chosen of God. The choice of God makes selected men, the men of choice...... we are selected, not in the palace, but in the furnace. In the furnace, fashion, beauty are destroyed ,glory is consumed and strength is melted: despite that,here everlasting love shows its secretes and reveals its choice ". From our reference point,Paul the Apostle mentioned about the inherent virtue of chastisement. It is well understood that we are sons and daughters of God. Though, chastisement is not a good experience, offers what is known as " the peaceable fruit of righteousness ". The discomfort of chastisement takes away the waste from the gold, generating a better and clearer treasure which will be desirable and of better service to human beings. When God want to use people, they go through persecutions so as to ascertain their faith. We have a lesson to learn from the valley of suffering and pain than in the hill of praise and popularity. It is in the furnace of affliction that the preachers of righteousness are made. When our strength is been exhausted as a result of rough ways,at that particular time,proceed your journey and prevail by God's strength alone. Your disappointment will a day bring development. No matter the tribulations and trials, God with his armour, will design and make you fit into the mould of His designed destiny. Being aware of this principle of life will assist you to fuel your courage and make a new effort to bear your cross. Always be patient and slowdown: at an appointed time the overcoming psalms shall be your songs. Remember, your future success comes from the present suffering.
