Hello friends! How is your day going, hope you are glad and rejoicing in this day of our Lord. My day has been busy and miraculous. My prayer is that God will visit you where you need Him most in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Bible reading for today is from Deuteronomy 8:1- end and our memory verse is from Deuteronomy 8:3 "And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live."
The book of Deuteronomy is a book of recollection and reinforcement, i call it the book of cause and effect. In our reading today, the Lord made it clear to the children of Israel why He allowed them pass thru tribulation and that has become our message for today.
What is tribulation? Tribulation is an event or situation that occasions distress, trouble or vexation. It can be said to be severe affliction. Life they say is filled with ups and down. There is an adage in Igbo language that says "otee aka odiwara njo, ya adi nma." This means that no condition is permanent. Because no condition is permanent it implies that tribulation is not permanent, it is just for a period. Some tribulation lasts longer than others but whatever be the case every tribulation is for a purpose. In the case of the children of Israel, their tribulation included the following;
Their tribulation was for them to know that their existence is sure by the word of God, what lesson are you learning from your own tribulation?
The trials of life is to make us strong, wise and better people, are you becoming all of that or are you allowing your tribulation swallow you?
I shall continue this message tomorrow because the Holy Spirit is saying so much to me concerning this message. In fact am living it at the moment.
Till i come your way again, remain blessed.
