Text: James 1:2,
James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Also Romans 5:3 says ”And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Study: The very moment a person surrenders to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, the devil become annoyed. While the devil and his agents are unhappy, the angels in heaven continue to rejoice. Satan the devil will try all means to bring that Christian to ruin. Why because the Bible clearly states in 2 Corinthians 5:17 saying that ”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
This declaration makes Satan to be uncomfortable because he lost the person from his dark kingdom.
One of the best moments of every child of God is the day he or she became born again. It is a day when your heart is glad and rejoices because you are saved by Jesus Christ for eternal life so that you can have fellowship with the Father and be called a child of God.
During the course of your relationship with God, you will go through tribulations. There are many of them, and they are unique to every child of God; it is a training that God gives His children so that they can be empowered to endure the difficult times in life. This is exactly what Jesus Christ went through after He was baptized by John the Baptist.
The Bible informed us that immediately Jesus was baptized, the Spirit of God descended upon Him like a dove and lighting upon Him saying this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.
Satan on hearing this pronouncements upon Jesus Christ, came to tempt Jesus Christ in other to see to Jesus down fall Jesus never fell.
Find a way to rejoice in the midst of the tribulations because of what they will produce in you. They will produce patience, experience, and hope in you. Patience, experience, and hope will then defeat all forms of shame in your life, and you will be a better person for God to use to bless the rest of the world. Praise the Lord.
Prayer: Almighty Father, you alone can give life and protection. Enable us with your divine grace to overcome this untoward tribulations pestering our lives in Jesus name Amen
