Bless God,
Hi everybody its being a while. I should
have sent the other anologies about suffering and
address the younger folk on the topic some time ago and
finally conclude. But I am led to deter and address it
from another angle. Thursday I fasted for everyone of
you. Why? I'll come to that.
Wednesday night I was mad in my spirit
and if I could see a demon, that would probably be the
end of it. Why? I got the news that a fellow church
member of mine was in the hospital. I thought to my self
probably a minor injury or something. To my surprise for
stress and depression. Can you believe how outrageous
the enemy has become that christians are stressed
out. And I am saying Lord how could you let this happen.
Lord, I have notice that, that person comes to church
religiously always praising you and wearing one
of the broadest smiles no matter what. I was
really heating up now; remembering others "who are under
the weather." I went as far as to vehemently point my
finger into the air, to God, demanding that these people
be released (thank God I was not struck). Praying some
crazy prayers in real tears, binding and loosing and
even going beyond our biblical domain. But I was mad.
This was too much. So many people. But later that
night (after I just came out of the anointing). I
went and did something really stupid. I mean an
uneccessary sin that could have been avoided. I wont
tell you what it was. But the Lord dealt with me in my
mind saying thats why we suffer a lot, unecessarily.
Today's
scripture: (1) "Fools because of
their transgression and because of their iniquities, are
afflicted," Psalms 107:17. (2) "Learned
he obedience by the things which he suffer; and being made
perfect," Heb 5:8.
Do not get me wrong as you have heard it been said,
its not every affliction is caused by
your sin. But the bible said that fools because
of their transgression... are afflicted. It could
be the sin of your mama or papa or grand mama or papa.
It could be the sin of a relative, freind or spouse. Oh
eye brows probably raised. No sir, once you are called
by the name of Jesus you are attacked. Yes, but also
because you did that secret sin you thought
nobody would see. You are cover just being attacked
in the former way, but in latter you allow an open door
for the enemy and for him to plant a foot whole in your
life. Do you remember when Jesus healed the lame man on
the sabbath, he first told him 'thy sins be forgiven',
then he told him to rise up and walk. The sin was the
root cause of the problem. Yes I know of the incident
where Jesus healed the blind man and stated that neither
he nor his parents sinned. But somebody had to, probably
plain old Adam. Notice that he dealt with the sin issue
first. Many of us are afflicted because of things we
have in our house that belongs to the enemy. Your sin is
forgive but it has consequences. Nevertheless the
suffering incurred helped us and if we are wise, we wont
fall in the same trap again. Therefore learn we
obedience by the things which we suffer.
This puzzled me why did God almighty had
to learn obedience through suffering. Quite frankly he
was in the flesh and attached to its natural
inclinations. He didn't do nothing but come under the
sin of Adam. Yet he suffered persecution far beyond
what the bible recorded. But through suffering he
learned how to control the flesh and subject its will,
unto the will of our redemption. Really imagine
this, Jesus being God of all, that made everything that
was made, was being persecuted by his creation; yet
didn't get mad and kill them all off (probably thats
what I would have done). He was in the same flesh as you
and I so he got those same urges. But through this
experience he purged the error of the people; and
saved you and I from death. No wonder they call him the
saviour.
Again its a long mail and I had more to
say; about us comparing ourselves to Job. Faultless yet
suffer. We are nothing near Job's category all
the time. Be mature and admit that some of the stuff
they talk about you are true. And thats the reason
I was fasting on Thursday to repent and
interceed for myself, generational sins, churches,
community, state, country, world and you. Asking
forgiveness for our trepasses. For most of the stuff
that happens to us are because of our disobedience
to his way. We suffer and continue to suffer because of
it. Let us pray one for the other and asking forgiveness
for all our sins and transgression. Please pray for me
as I have a tendency to be disobedient and 'spiritually
spoiled.' My love goes out to you.....After fasting the
Lord said unto me probably to you too, "Comfort ye,
comfort ye, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to
Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is
accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she
hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her
sins." Saints be encourage ye shall recieve a crown
if ye faint not. One love!
Grace be unto you.
