Encouragement
When it rains, it does not just rain it pours, this could be the story of your life at the moment where it seems everything can not just hold together, you persevere so hard but it just seems as if you do not know how to do anything right
No regular job because you just can not seem to hold one down or you have been seeking for so long you could actually write a book with your compilation of applications
Home is in total chaos because your children are wayward and have gone astray in the evil ways of the world, or husband or wife is disinterested in the relationship and does not seem to hide it by abusing you ALWAYS, physically and mentally torturing you with reckless abandon, eventually decides to take off and leave the home without looking back, leaving you alone with the children and without any form of hope in life at all
It seems in your case the greatest catastrophe of all time has just decided to take abode in your life, as a minister of the word of God in charge of your own little congregation, it seems all known and unknown illnesses of the world has shifted base and come to dwell in your church and practically all your members are facing one calamity or the other in their private lives.
You pray and fast and even call for corporate prayers but it seems all to no avail, even your family is not spared.
It could be that you are committed as a Christian, working fervently in His vineyard, sharing the word at every opportunity that you get but you lack so much in your life and it seems to bring shame to you as a CHILD OF THE ONE WHO OWNS THE EARTH AND ALL THAT DWELLS IN IT.
Finances, material wealth and so many other things that make a man, a man in this world seem to be elusive in your case.
Your account seems to be permanently in the RED
Even the fruit of the womb seems to elude your family for countless years and the doctors have confirmed that there is no problem with you or your spouse biologically, or in your case some problem has been diagnosed
You have no roof over your head you have to keep moving from one person to another for a few days just to get out of the cold and wet nights
You have become a somewhat permanent child of the government because your daily food supply and sustenance seem to be from one charity organization or other; old and used clothes, shoes and other personal effect you just can not afford they provide for you
No friends or family that you can turn to for comfort or help in any way because none appears to be dependable, reliable or they are not just available
Seeking, seeking for solutions beloved, whose report will you believe?
THE ONE WHOSE BURDEN IS LIGHT AND SAYS THAT HIS YOKE IS EASY ALSO SAYS THAT BECAUSE THE WORLD FIRST HATED HIM, IT WILL YOU TOO, HE HAD NO PERMANENT ROOF OVER HIS HEAD, FOR A PURPOSE; YOU MUST FIND YOUR PURPOSE IN IT ALL
HIS WORD ALSO TELLS US THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE SAD BECAUSE WE SEE THE WICKED PROSPER IT SEEMS ABOVE US, ALL IS IN WORLDLY TERMS: WOULD YOU NOT RATHER BE RICH IN THE SPIRIT THAN THE FLESH?
WHY DO YOU CONSIDER THE ONE THAT CAN KILL THE FLESH AND NOT THE ONE THAT CAN KILL BOTH THE FLESH AND SPIRIT
PERHAPS THERE IS A MESSAGE FOR YOU BUT YOU HAVE BEEN TOO BUSY TO HEAR AND HE HAD TO GET YOUR ATTENTION ONE-WAY OR THE OTHER.
HEBREW 12: 5-6 AND REVELATIONS 3: 19--- HE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CHASTISES.
THE BOOK OF JAMES CHAPTER 1: 2- 18 HAS A LOT TO SAY AS WELL ON THE SAME ISSUE
REMEMBER JOB AND SIN NOT, RATHER SEEK HIS FACE UNTILL YOU GET AN ANSWER
SHALOM!
