Tribulation into Triumph - Reward is Great

  “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:3

When you come to Christ, God doesn't take away the suffering, and He doesn't take away the problems and He doesn't take away the difficulties of your life.

Not at all.

He doesn't promise if your unemployed that He's going to get you a job tomorrow morning if you accept Christ today. 

He promises that He'll give grace and Strength and Joy, through it all.

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, He said and when they shall separate you from their company and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil for the Son of Man sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. 

He said when you come to me and you have trouble and tribulation and people even hate you.

He said jump up and down for joy, for behold your reward is GREAT in Heaven for in like manner did they have fathers under the Prophets

 All that live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution the Bible says, There's going to be suffering.

Jesus said  If your not willing to take up the Cross and deny self, you cannot be my follower 

Stand for Christ, God is in control, Always.

D/5 "From Anger to the Altar: A Lenten Journey to the Cross”

Image
DAY -5  "From Anger to the Altar: A Lenten Journey to the Cross” Beloved, in the  Gospel of Matthew 5:21–26, Jesus takes us deeper than outward sin and brings us face to face with the hidden fires within the heart:  “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,   and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment." During Lent, as we walk toward the Cross, this Word becomes a mirror. We may never lift a weapon against someone, yet we may carry silent anger, buried resentment, unspoken bitterness. Jesus teaches that anger is not a small emotion to excuse—it is a seed that can grow into spiritual death. 1. The Hidden Fire Within Murder begins long before the act. It begins with wounded pride, jealousy, harsh words, and silent contempt. When anger is entertained, it poisons our prayers, disturbs our peace, and distances us from God. Lent is not only about fasting from food; it is about fasting from hatred. It is about allowing Christ...

D4 / Salt and Light at the Foot of the Cross

Image
Day - 4 " Salt and Light at the Foot of the Cross" Beloved, “You are the salt of the earth…You are the light of the world.” These words were spoken during the Sermon on the Mount before the Cross, but they find their deepest meaning at the Cross. As we journey through Lent, walking prayerfully toward Calvary, we are invited not only to remember the Cross, but to be transformed by it. Salt at the Cross Salt preserves. Salt purifies. Salt adds flavour. When Jesus says, “You are the salt of the earth,” He entrusts us with a divine responsibility. In a world that is morally and spiritually decaying, we are called to preserve righteousness. In a society losing hope, we are to add the flavour of grace, compassion, and truth. But Lent reminds us: salt can lose its saltiness. How does that happen? When prayer becomes routine. When fasting becomes a display. When charity becomes publicity. When the Cross becomes a decoration rather than a devotion. At the Cross, we see the tr...
