Preparing And Sanctifying Ourselves For The Lord's Work

God's work will only be fulfilled by His own timetable. However, it is important for us to prepare our mindset and attitude as ministers of the gospel in order to give the complete truth. This preparation requires sanctification through our encounters, life experiences and even our trials as we place our focus on God. With this prepared, we will become soldiers of Christ that seeks only His guidance, athletes that runs for the Lord and not ourselves, and the hardworking farmer that waits faithfully for God's harvest in time to come.

Sufferings in the Presence of Divine Relationship

What really torments a Christian during sufferings? There are countless answers to this question. Yet, the most direct and underlying reason behind this torment is a Christian’s “sense of abandonment”. It simply feels like, “NO ONE is on my side anymore. No one can understand or can help me. Even God has forsaken me because of my sins and mistakes. I am left alone to face the frightening consequences.” Truly, when we accept such deceptive voices into our spirit, every twinge of pain seems punitive and endless. We will try to make sense of everything except the love of God.
In the Bible, even the blameless Job could not make any sense of his sufferings. Therefore, God, in one of His greatest revelations, has given us <Romans 8>. This glorious chapter in the Bible seeks to address the sense of abandonment that children of God may experience during pain and sufferings. So yield your mind not to what you feel, but to the truth especially such times.
