THE COMFORT WITH WHICH WE ARE COMFORTED BY GOD
"WHO COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TRIBULATION, that we may be able to COMFORT THOSE WHO ARE IN ANY TROUBLE, WITH THE COMFORT WITH WHICH WE OURSELVES ARE COMFORTED BY GOD."
2 Corinthians 1:4 (NKJV)
• The more the tribulation, the more the comfort we receive in Christ. God comforts us in our tribulation that we might be an instrument of comfort to others.
- You will be able to comfort or encourage other people who may be passing through what you had passed through.
- At times, as a believer, some of the challenges you face are part of the trainings you needed in order to be well prepared and equipped for the assignment which God has for you.
- The comfort you did receive in your time of trouble or tribulation is meant to be used to comfort other people who may be in a similar problem.
• Your experience in Christ, whatever you learned in your walk or relationship with God, is meant to be used to edify others, who may be in a similar problem.
- God does not duplicate His efforts. God will require whoever He has trained to go out and bless others or teach others; teach them and train them, with the knowledge which he or she has received or acquired in their relationship with Him.
- God wants you to learn from every event or circumstance that is permitted in your life by Him.
- Those who are sensitive to learn from things happening in their lives, are qualified to lead in the Kingdom.
- Things happening in your life are permitted that you may learn from them and teach others (2 Timothy 2:2).
• Your growth in God and the opportunity of being used would be hampered and slimmed—if you did not pay attention to what God has permitted you to go through in your walk with Him.
- Things you have learnt put you ahead of others in knowledge, and makes you qualify for a leadership position in the Kingdom.
- Therefore, instead of bemoaning your condition or the situation you are in, when you faced challenges of life, learn whatever God may have wanted you to learn in such a situation.
- God comforts in a tribulation with the intention that the recepient of the comfort would use the comfort which he or she has received to comfort others.
• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
- Should there be any ailment in your body, receive your healing now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
- Whatever is not of God that is planted in your body, such is declared completely rooted out in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Peace!
STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).
- If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
