Often times as Christians we go through so much that it becomes too much at times. I know of this pastor who when he heard the call of GOD stopped everything and pursued it. However his relatives refused to help him with his bible college fees even day to day upkeep. It became so u bearable that he decided to kill himself. So he bought rat poison put it in his pocket. As he went home to kill himself he met a fellow christian who said pastor I have been given a part to preach at church mid week service but I need scripture for I have no idea what to preach. The pastor gave him the scriptures then the guy says pastor I really would like you to be there this evening I need the support. Then the pastor went home diluted the rat poison ready to drink it then he remembered that he had promised the fellow christian that he will be there that evening. So he thought he might as well go to support that fellow christian then come back home to kill himself. While in church before the service started the resident pastor just started saying there is a pastor in here who is a great man of GOD and he has a message for the church and that what he says is a true word from GOD. Every one should listen and do exactly what he says. then to the surprise of that pastor who wanted to kill himself he was beckoned to rise and pray for the church. As soon as the pastor who wanted to kill himself started praying miracles started to happen people all over the floor, healing and many signs. Then he had a vision there and then of an GOD telling him off and reminding him what he is carrying on the inside the rest is history.
The devil knew what the pastor carried and he distorted his vision to focus on his problems and not on JESUS. What ever we or you are going through has already been vetted by GOD he knows you can take it. As it is written Ephes 2:10 that we are GODs workmanship created in JESUS Christ unto good works which GOD has before ordained that we should walk in them. From the foundation of the world we have already been predestined to walk in certain ways as children of GOD.
So all the misery that we or you are walking through is just your ministry, take Moses for example he spent time up to 40 years in the wilderness when he killed that Egyptian, then GOD met him there and told him to take the children of Israel out of Egypt through the desert. You see his misery became his ministry. GOD likes to send us places where we have never been, way ahead of others, so that when we take other people through the same situation we know what we are doing.
Come to think of it what you go through will come through you, meaning that if you are going through financial problems then you are probably going to be a blessing financially to others. Come on unless you know what it means to have no money you can not begin to understand when some one ask you for financial help. Check and see what misery you are in it may be connected to your ministry. For GOD is not wasteful believe me your experience is not wasteful every tiny thing that you go through has a reason. GOD likes to prepare us before he sends us. It is written GOD does not inflict willingly meaning every pain that you and I go through is meant to be a testimony.
It is time we renew our mind and embrace what GOD is doing in our lives and learn the lessons and also learn to connect our misery to our ministry. GOD has deposited so much in you and me that he can not let you fail though it looks bleak do not give up. One advice, tell GOD the truth of how you feel about what you are going through. After all there is nothing hidden to GOD. When you tell GOD how exactly you feel that is not necessarily complaining. But when you tell fellow man how you feel GOD is treating you then it becomes a complaint.
