LEARN TO PERSEVERE [2]

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Romans 5:3‭-‬5 NIV

Sufferings produce greater glory, virtues,character in our lives for we are partners with Christ. The Bible says "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed" (1 Peter 4:12‭-‬13 NIV)

Remember, we are partners in His crucifixion, for we are crucified with Christ, so we share in the glory of His crucifixion. That is why 1 Peter 5:10

says "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

Beloved, in trouble times, focus on building relationships with our heavenly Father through perseverance, that is persistent in spite of the troubles and not focus on the troubles we face, for those troubles will not last, but those who know their Lord will achieve exploit (Daniel 11:32)

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO BUILD RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH PERSEVERANCE IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
