SUFFERING WITH CHRIST.

1 Peter 2:21
"To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps."

Life is often filled with the unexpected. Some of those unexpected events bring surprise and happiness. We don't mind the nice things that come our way, but it's hard-to-handle things that come crashing into our lives that we would rather not have to experience. These things can cause us to experience a great deal of suffering.

SUFFERING is the "the state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship."
SUFFERING involves something of consequence.

It goes without saying;no one likes to suffer. Yet, suffering is a natural, unnatural part of life.To live means that at some point in our lives we will suffer. No one is exempt. Not a pleasant realitt, is it?

And Christians aren't exempt either.

Helen Keller said " Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." And with the help of Jesus we can overcome suffering. SUFFERING puts our feet on the path to peace and victory.

FEELINGS vs. FAITH

As a belivers, we called to live by faith. And yet so many of us choose to live by something else-our feelings.

Have you ever made a desicion because it simply "felt right.?".

Have you ever said something because it "felt like a perfect moment?".

I know all or some of us did. Before we became believer, we lived by fully by feelings.

YOUR FEELINGS CAN'T BE TRUSTED.

PROVERBS 28:26
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Our feelings are about as certain as the sand on the beach. The sand is always being moved pushed forward and backward by both wind and water. It's kicked and thrown by people running across it, children building with it and dogs digging in it. It may appear to be a solid foundation for your sand castle, but add just a little too much water and the entire building will collapse.

Our feelings are no different than that sand.They're easily changed by people and circumstances. Our feelings are easily influenced and changed by words,actions, and tones.

Because of the fall, our entire being is affected by sin. Our bodies decay, fail and die, and our hearts desire that which is sinful, and we must always be fighting against that. There's a battle that we must, always be fighting against the flesh, and that battle also resides is our feelings. Our FEELINGS will lead us to do what feels right or good- whether or not it is considered righteous by God. Our FEELINGS will try to persuade us to do things that are disobedient to GOD. If we are to live a righteous life, they cannot be trusted.

LIVING BY THE CERTAIN OF FAITH

2 CORINTHIANS 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.

Our FAITH is rock solid if we have placed it in God- the unchanging, perfect, eternal,sovereign one. And this faith is founded on the infallible, certain,life-chaging, authoritative word of God. Scripture tells us how to live and what to believe.

God calls us to live instead by faith. This means We act not based on our feelings but on what God calls us to do. We don't believe something because of how it makes us feel but what Scripture says about it.

In the end, it is God and His word that should inform our feelings, not the other way around. When you are tempted to listen to your feelings or your feelings are overwhelming you, stop and look to God's word. Compare what you are feeling to what He says. GOD's WORD IS YOUR SOURCE AND FOUNDATION. LIVE BY IT, NOT YOUR FEELINGS.

Your weakness became your strength.

KAPATID, natry mo na bang napunta sa ministry na kung saan mahina ka?Well, kung hindi pa good luck😊, sa mga nakaranas na at nagpatuloy saludo ako.🙌 At sa mga nakaranas naman pero hindi nagpatuloy, Kapatid its your time to come back into His house.☺️😊
Alam mo ba kung bakit tayu nilagay ni Lord sa bagay kung saan mahina tayu. Gusto niyang may matutunan tayo, sometimes person will come into your life to help you and teach you. MapaLEADER, TEACHER,FRIENDS,PASTOR man yan. Isa lang ang gusto sayu ni Lord. GROW.

GOD wants us to improve and develop our weakness. That is His will not ours, 'cause GOD wants the best for us.GOD knows everything for us, kaya kapag pinagawa ni Lord sa'yo tanggapin mo.And don't ever say that your alone.

'I'm with you until the end of days, I'll never leave you nor forsake you.' Kapag kung may pinagawa sayu si Lord tanggapin mo dahil habang kumikilos ka kumikilos din siya.

Philippians 4:13 'I can do all things through CHRIST who gives me strength.

LEARN GODLY PERSPECTIVE
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

PRAYER help us to love and appreciate God as He is. GOD may send suffering into our lives to make us more compassionate toward others. He may allow us to be finacially needy for a while so that we will learn to trust in Him more. There is no reason to fear the unknown, for GOD will do all things well in our lives. He is perfect in all His ways.

Psalm 47
Clap your hands,all peoples! Shout to GOD with loud songs of joy!For the LORD,the most high, is to be feared,a great king over all the earth. He subdued peoples under us,and nations under our feet. He choose our heritage for us,the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah
GOD has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to GOD, sing praises! For GOD is the king of all the earth;sing praises with a psalm!GOD reigns over the nations;God sits on his holy throne. The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the GOD of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to GOD; he is highly exalted!

PRAYER IS A POWERFUL WEAPON TO DEFEAT THE VILLIANS/ENEMY.
