Your Present Pain is the Most Necessary in Your Lifetime

Your present pain was ordain by God. It will turn to your greatest testimony and it's your ministry. It is the most necessary in your lifetime.

It is so a difficult thing to go through pain, but it is all for a purpose. Pain could be as a result of failure, barrenness, being broke, marital delay, unfruitfulness in ministry, sickness, diseases and a lot of things. Wait, it will soon turn to Joy.

Peter as a case study, who could be that Peter would deny Jesus? It was so painful that one of the "three" that Jesus loved the most denied him. But it was necessary for the establishment of his future ministry.

"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22:31-32)

The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly. (Luke 22:61-62)

Peter felt so ashamed and bitter for his failure but that was not the end of the story. He repented (turned back) and in the future he was able to strengthen his brethren who were looking up to him.

A lot of people, hundreds, thousands and millions of people are waiting on you to strengthen them with your testimony. When your pains turn to breakthrough, people will breakthrough through your experience.

Therefore, don't be discouraged and shattered at this time, it is your time of preparation.

Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them) Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal. Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal. Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
