***LEARN TO PASS THROUGH PREPARATORY PAINS; GOD KNOWS WHAT HE WOULD DO ***

Whenever God takes a decision to give assignment to any of His trusted and faithful servants, He prepares a platform through which the person undergoes a preparatory training that will enable the person handle effectively the responsibility God wants to give him or her. In the course of the training, one is bound to suffer pains, challenges, trials or the other. There may be rejections, denials of pleasures and other good things of life but those austerity situations serve as preparatory ground for the task ahead.

At any point during one’s preparatory pains and challenges of life, you must understand that God is aware and He knows what He would do. He is your creator and He knows you are in need of having that problem solved. Again, He will not allow the devil to take glory over your life. Furthermore, He will not give room for unbelievers to mock you or ask you, “WHERE IS YOUR GOD

Prior to his elevation to the position of governor in Egypt, Joseph suffered challenges of temptations of adultery with the wife of his master. His proof of righteousness earned him imprisonment but it was aimed at preparing him to take up a more challenging job as a governor in Egypt (1 SAMUEL 17:34-36). David also passed through training in which he worked as a shepherd, keeping the father’s flock. In the course of keeping the flock, he singlehandedly killed a bear and a lion that came to attack his flock. He also led a troupe in the wilderness until King Saul died before he took his position as the King of Israel. Both Joseph and David suffered preparatory pains, denials and discomfort but those pieces of experience were beneficial to the positions they later held.

You may be undergoing some trials now, do not think God has forgotten you rather He is preparing you for greater things. Avoid murmuring and complaining, instead praise and worship God. Reject every form of self-pity and discouragement. Do not give up your faith or think the devil is at work to ruin your life.

Remember that God knew what He would do yet He allowed Hannah to be barren for many years and to be mocked by Peninnah. He also waited for Lazarus to die before answering distress call from Mary and Martha. “THIS IS HOW TESTIMONIES ARE CREATED FROM CHALLENGES OF LIFE”.
When such trials come, trust in the power of God, exhibiting unshakeable faith in Him. You are going to win as God lifts you to a higher level/position in life. Remember, He knows what He would do…SHALOM!!!
