morning
00:01:23
church
00:01:24
H I was glad this morning when I
00:01:28
see the people of God rejoicing dancing
00:01:32
and celebrating the goodness of the
00:01:34
Lord even in times like
00:01:38
this is to show something was asking a
00:01:42
question within me are these people in
00:01:44
another country I say yes because we are
00:01:49
the Bible says we are we are citizens of
00:01:55
heaven we are the citizen of Heaven
00:01:59
because our livelihood our strength does
00:02:02
not depend on the economy of nation our
00:02:05
livelihood our strength our source
00:02:09
depend on the economy of God who made
00:02:14
the heavens and the Earth that's why no
00:02:17
matter the
00:02:18
circumstances the psalmist
00:02:20
says I will
00:02:22
rejoice I don't know about
00:02:25
you but no matter the
00:02:28
circumstances the spirit of of of God
00:02:31
that is in you will make you
00:02:35
rejoice I whatever the
00:02:38
situation the spirit of God that is in
00:02:40
us will stir up Joy from
00:02:45
within and the Bible says it is with joy
00:02:49
with draw what life with draw strength
00:02:53
from The Well of Salvation it is with
00:02:57
joy so we are glad to be in house this
00:03:00
morning rejoicing in the presence of God
00:03:03
and I tell you salvation in every
00:03:08
ramification we attend to
00:03:10
you in the name of Jesus some weeks
00:03:14
before the convention we were
00:03:16
considering the issue of
00:03:18
Trials I felt strongly within me that we
00:03:21
should not just abandon it because of
00:03:23
course we we didn't
00:03:26
complete that topic and so we are
00:03:29
visiting it
00:03:31
today trials generally trials you can
00:03:34
add
00:03:36
tribulation and that's one of the
00:03:39
package that every believer will partake
00:03:43
in this end
00:03:45
time and so it is necessary that we
00:03:49
prepare ourselves when it begin to come
00:03:53
and I tell you we have we have we
00:03:55
already
00:03:57
entering the trials and tri ulation of
00:04:01
the end
00:04:03
time why must we discuss issues like
00:04:06
this the Bible says in uh when Jus
00:04:12
was delivering the uh uh
00:04:17
the the talk before briefly before you
00:04:20
know the
00:04:22
crucification uh he went to the Cross he
00:04:25
was telling them about the end time
00:04:28
event he said said
00:04:31
many many will be
00:04:39
offended many will give
00:04:43
up why because of the situation of
00:04:47
things and when you see when you look at
00:04:50
what is happening now it's as if those
00:04:54
words are coming to pass in our very own
00:04:57
days
00:05:00
when the love of many is growing
00:05:07
cold but I believe I'm speaking to
00:05:10
people that negative prophecy will not
00:05:13
be fulfilled in their
00:05:14
lives you can say to yourself negative
00:05:17
prophecy will not be fulfilled in my
00:05:20
lives so discussing issues like this is
00:05:23
to toughen us is to strengthen us is to
00:05:28
make us aware that the father has said
00:05:31
it and let me tell you he saying it is
00:05:35
also an equipping of the
00:05:39
Believers I remember what he said about
00:05:41
the eagle
00:05:42
Bell Eagle Bell enjoying swearing at
00:05:48
hard
00:05:50
weather it is in the midst of hard
00:05:53
weather
00:05:54
that those weathers those storm are to
00:05:59
help to SAR higher than all other
00:06:02
bears in the midst of Storm E SAR in the
00:06:07
midst of some other bears go into
00:06:11
hiding because it's dangerous it's the
00:06:15
same thing with the situation of every
00:06:17
Christian trials and tribulation are to
00:06:21
toughen us they are stepping stone to
00:06:25
Greater Heights for every child of God
00:06:27
we saw it in the scripture when we
00:06:29
started
00:06:30
this discussion and we still see it
00:06:32
today also that to toughen us they not
00:06:35
to make us weak they not to make us
00:06:38
victims Tri are to strengthen and equip
00:06:44
us to Greater
00:06:46
Heights I always quote these scriptures
00:06:49
the part of the JW they are like Shining
00:06:53
Light that shines ever
00:06:56
brighter that that glorious increase is
00:07:00
not without storm it's not without
00:07:03
trials it's not without
00:07:05
tribulation but yet in the midst of it
00:07:08
you go from from a a glory a level of
00:07:12
glory to the other in the midst of
00:07:15
trials in the midst of difficulties in
00:07:18
the midst of
00:07:21
hardship are Christian immune to
00:07:24
hardship and tribulation
00:07:26
no we've seen it in the scriptures
00:07:30
but is to help them to strengthen them
00:07:33
so don't allow anybody to pity you when
00:07:35
you're going through your own hardship
00:07:37
and tribulation and
00:07:41
trials because James chapter 1 verse2 it
00:07:47
said my brethren count it all joy when
00:07:50
you go through diverse
00:07:55
trials he said count it all joy because
00:07:58
the try of your faith remember it's your
00:08:03
faith work it
00:08:05
patience I say let patient have his
00:08:08
perfect work so that you will be
00:08:09
complete complete me another word for
00:08:11
that complete in Greek is mature so that
00:08:15
you'll be mature lacking
00:08:19
nothing trials are to mature us to make
00:08:22
you real
00:08:26
Christian God will allow you to go
00:08:28
through the fire
00:08:30
God will allow you to go through the
00:08:31
flames and the waters but he's sure of
00:08:35
what he is inside of you that you will
00:08:38
not be drone in is sure that's why he
00:08:40
will allow you he told the children of
00:08:43
Israel I allow you to go through that
00:08:45
Wilderness that has Serpent and Scorpion
00:08:48
why should a father allow his children
00:08:51
to go through hard time snakes and
00:08:54
Scorpion he said I allow
00:08:56
you he said so that you may know that
00:08:58
man shall not depend on shall not live
00:09:01
by bread alone but by the word I allow
00:09:05
you to go through it because you have
00:09:06
the word you are Gods on Earth that can
00:09:09
withstand any
00:09:12
situation no situation can bring a child
00:09:15
of God down because you have life the
00:09:17
life of God The Zo is inside of you is
00:09:21
to lift you higher while the other
00:09:25
people of the war is to bring them
00:09:27
down and this is
00:09:30
the things we will be experiencing in
00:09:32
this end time no Christian should be
00:09:38
afraid is to move closer and closer to
00:09:41
the
00:09:42
father trials are difficult
00:09:45
experience trials are test of our faith
00:09:48
in which we experience trouble and
00:09:52
adversity many are the Troubles of the
00:09:55
righteous Psalm 34 is it 7 18
00:10:02
many some of us are inside one
00:10:06
now but don't allow that to worry you
00:10:08
because you are coming
00:10:09
out I say you are coming
00:10:12
out Romans 51 I'm just giving a quick uh
00:10:17
review of what we shared the previous
00:10:20
time he said but we also Glory we also
00:10:23
glory in
00:10:25
Tribulation knowing that tribulation
00:10:29
produces perseverance we also glory in
00:10:33
Tribulation Paul said we glory in
00:10:35
Tribulation why because of the end
00:10:39
result tribulation WTH perseverance and
00:10:43
perseverance work character and
00:10:45
character hope and hope does not
00:10:48
disappoint because the love of God is
00:10:50
shed abroad in our hearts hope can never
00:10:54
disappoint God will not allow you to go
00:10:56
through those trouble and abandon you at
00:10:59
the end that's Joy at the end he said
00:11:01
because of the joy that was set before
00:11:04
him he endure the cross he despise the
00:11:08
shame some of you may be passing through
00:11:10
the cross and the shame of life but
00:11:13
there's joy at the
00:11:15
end weeping may endure for a
00:11:18
night that's
00:11:21
Joy I'm not praying it no matter the
00:11:25
situation of the economy you will rise
00:11:28
am is to toughen you is to strengthen
00:11:32
you it's not to bring you down God is
00:11:34
aware that the situation of the economy
00:11:37
will be like this but he has prepared
00:11:39
his Eagles he know they will
00:11:42
swar he know they will
00:11:45
SAR praise the
00:11:48
Lord Peter said do not think it's
00:11:51
strange concerning the fiery trial which
00:11:54
is to try you as though some strange
00:11:56
thing happened to you don't take
00:12:00
strange the Bible said by the M of two
00:12:02
of three Witnesses a word is confirmed
00:12:04
Peter said it about Tri Paul said James
00:12:07
said it and many
00:12:11
other scriptures concerning trial is to
00:12:14
encourage us and I also said that the
00:12:19
sources of Trials number one trials may
00:12:22
come as God's dealing I know you have
00:12:25
you you've written it but let me just
00:12:28
quickly make a a review Tri can come as
00:12:31
God's dealing with his children that's
00:12:35
why I told them I I made you to pass
00:12:37
through the Wilderness that is filled
00:12:39
with Serpent and Scorpion I made it it
00:12:42
wasn't
00:12:43
Satan some of us may be passing through
00:12:45
that such Wilderness he said where there
00:12:48
if where there was no
00:12:51
water but you have to depend upon the
00:12:54
flinty rock to bring out
00:12:57
water I I God say I made you has a
00:13:01
purpose some of the things we are
00:13:03
passing through now God is in
00:13:08
it number two source of trial some are
00:13:13
self induced through our own sinful
00:13:17
choices what we allow what we put our
00:13:20
hands
00:13:21
in brought that Tri I remember the story
00:13:25
of
00:13:25
Jonah God told Jonah go to n Go and
00:13:28
preach to them
00:13:30
Jonah bought the ticket to was it
00:13:35
Jer he went to jopa and bought the
00:13:38
ticket that was going
00:13:39
to opposite side opposite side so when
00:13:43
the storm began it was self
00:13:46
induced but even in self induced trial
00:13:51
God will also
00:13:52
deliver yes the one you call AA even if
00:13:57
it is AA he will still deliver you when
00:14:00
you cry to him you can't abandon his
00:14:03
children he can't abandon you so if you
00:14:06
are here this morning and that thing
00:14:08
that is happening to you is as a result
00:14:10
of your choices he will yet deliver You
00:14:13
by his
00:14:15
Mercy I will have mercy upon whom I will
00:14:18
have mercy I will have compassion upon
00:14:20
whom I will have compassion God is not a
00:14:22
partial God but he's jealous over his
00:14:26
children he's jealous
00:14:29
number three some trials are direct
00:14:32
attack from
00:14:34
Satan such trials you resist them the
00:14:38
Bible say submit to God resist the devil
00:14:40
he will flee some Trials come by
00:14:43
government policies the one we are
00:14:45
passing through now Pol policies that
00:14:50
are not woman friendly they are to to H
00:14:56
and make life difficult
00:15:00
no matter the form of or the source of
00:15:04
trial let me tell you God is
00:15:07
Solly watching over his
00:15:10
children no matter how hard the policies
00:15:14
from the government he will supply your
00:15:17
needs according to his riches and Glory
00:15:19
by Christ Jesus and TR can also come
00:15:21
through natural
00:15:23
disaster through natural disaster
00:15:25
circumstances that bring great
00:15:27
hardship those are the sources of trial
00:15:30
then we also talk
00:15:32
about what are the purpose of trial why
00:15:36
should God bring trial number one trial
00:15:39
test our faith that's why James says the
00:15:42
testing of your faith produces patience
00:15:47
trials is to test how strong our faith
00:15:51
is sometimes we boast in the little
00:15:54
achievement we have God can allow trial
00:15:58
so that you can see where you belong
00:16:00
where you are standing so try with test
00:16:03
your faith to see if it is strong
00:16:08
trials trying time was used to test the
00:16:11
faith of
00:16:13
Joseph Joseph went through hard time
00:16:16
despite that he didn't
00:16:19
sin he went through hard time those
00:16:22
sters were to test his ability to handle
00:16:26
the throne God will test the ability you
00:16:29
your ability and your capacity to handle
00:16:32
the throne he's taking you to remember
00:16:35
you still Journey as a child of God your
00:16:38
throne is waiting for you that great
00:16:40
place where your life will influence
00:16:42
more but you will go through
00:16:45
trials so that
00:16:48
Heaven Must approve you that you are
00:16:51
able to stay in the palace and
00:16:53
govern the Palace of your life they
00:16:57
can't just push you there they didn't
00:16:59
push Joseph there to to the to the
00:17:03
Palace no they he had to go through
00:17:06
trials hardship hard
00:17:11
time Joseph pass you also will
00:17:14
pass so it's to test our
00:17:17
faith the Bible says in Psalm 11 115 he
00:17:21
said the Lord test the righteous God
00:17:24
often allow our faith to be tried and
00:17:26
tested with fire of difficulty
00:17:29
yes that's God I say fire of difficulty
00:17:33
God will allow his children to go
00:17:35
through that don't begin to say why me
00:17:38
you know what he's
00:17:41
doing he will allow you to go through
00:17:44
fire of difficulty recognizing where our
00:17:47
faith is weak helps us because it will
00:17:50
show you where your faith is so it will
00:17:52
help us to adjust if you need to repent
00:17:54
you will repent then you move forward
00:17:57
number two purpose of of trial is to
00:18:00
purify us just like gold is purified you
00:18:03
can't have gold from that raw State you
00:18:07
can't have a beautiful shining element
00:18:10
from that raw State he has to go through
00:18:13
fire it is when you heat gold the RO go
00:18:17
in fire all the impurities will float
00:18:20
then they can they can rake it away it's
00:18:22
the same thing when you go through fire
00:18:24
as a child of God all the all the
00:18:27
impurities in your life they begin to
00:18:29
manifest is for you to know and say oh
00:18:32
so I still have anger oh so I still have
00:18:34
unforgiveness oh so I still have malies
00:18:37
yes it's fire that will bring them out
00:18:40
it's not to disgrace you or to expose
00:18:42
you it's for you to know that ah so I
00:18:44
can be angry as this I I was given a t
00:18:47
is it testimony an instance when I
00:18:49
travel by a c one lady stepped on my to
00:18:53
I feared up I just left service I feared
00:18:56
up my wife was looking at me so this man
00:18:59
can be so angry like
00:19:00
this God allowed that stepping up
00:19:03
stepping on my toe to show me that look
00:19:06
you have to deal with this anger I was
00:19:09
afraid that I could be angry as
00:19:11
this and I I begin to tell God please
00:19:14
deliver me from this rubbish anger so
00:19:17
that it will not wait for me at the
00:19:19
thresold of Destiny at The Treasure of
00:19:21
my breakthrough is to bring them to the
00:19:25
surface you will allow you to go through
00:19:27
somebody will offend you I I always I
00:19:29
always pity people that go from church
00:19:31
to church ah somebody offend me offended
00:19:34
me in this church I will not come to
00:19:35
this church you go to the other one
00:19:37
Satan will wait for you there with more
00:19:40
fire he will wait for you
00:19:43
there with more fire one person step on
00:19:46
you in this church run away there is
00:19:48
three people that will be waiting for
00:19:50
you deal with it here don't go just deal
00:19:55
with it here solve the problem here
00:19:57
because woman me everywhere and they
00:20:00
could step on your toe any time even
00:20:04
well meaning
00:20:07
Believers
00:20:09
Hallelujah trials are to teach us
00:20:12
dependency and humility Paul says lest I
00:20:15
should be exalted above measure by the
00:20:17
abundance of the Revelation a turn in
00:20:21
the flesh was given to me a messenger of
00:20:23
Satan to buet me so that I will not be
00:20:26
proud by revelation
00:20:28
messenger of Satan God put it in his
00:20:31
body that's what he said oh so that I
00:20:35
will not be overwhelmed so trials are to
00:20:38

00:21:04
trial releases power God's power when
00:21:07
you are going through trial you release
00:21:10
God's power say my grace is sufficient
00:21:12
for you my strength is made perfect in
00:21:15
your
00:21:17
weakness in your weakness when you are
00:21:20
passing through things that is where my
00:21:21
strength is made perfect for
00:21:27

00:21:30
prepare us onto maturity the trying of
00:21:33
your faith work at patient he said let
00:21:35

00:21:37
you'll be
00:21:38
mature James chapter 1 from verse two so
00:21:41
that you'll be mature quickly today
00:21:44
let's deal with how should I respond to
00:21:49
trials that's very
00:21:50
important how should I respond to trial
00:21:53
when I'm going through trying time what
00:21:56
should be my respon
00:22:00
should I get angry and quit and that's
00:22:03
what people are doing now thank God that
00:22:05
you were leading Us in the prayer this
00:22:07
morning to pray for strength for our
00:22:09
Brethren these are days where people
00:22:12
will have reason not to serve God
00:22:15
again f is so so so per liter how do you
00:22:19
want me to get it this is my salary so
00:22:21
if I don't come to church you should
00:22:24
understand if I misbehave you should
00:22:28
understand p
00:22:30
Pastor you should understand
00:22:34
Pastor the Bible says the the standard
00:22:38
of the word stand sure having this
00:22:41
seal God can never change his word no
00:22:45
matter the situation it's you that will
00:22:46
conform to that word and it will help
00:22:48
you it's we that will conform to that
00:22:54
word trials will come to all of us
00:22:58
everyone of us John 16:33 in this in me
00:23:02
you will have peace in the war you will
00:23:04
have
00:23:05
what I believe he just he he he he he he
00:23:09
was referring to the first
00:23:13
disciples is it to us
00:23:16
too he said me you will have peace but
00:23:19
in the world you will have what
00:23:21
tribulation hard time
00:23:24
difficulties FY experience he said but
00:23:27
be of a good CH because I have overcome
00:23:31
the war when you follow me those STS
00:23:35
will
00:23:36
be stepping stone to a greater height
00:23:39
for you that's why I say in me you will
00:23:41
have peace as long as you are connected
00:23:44
to me in the midst of trial you will
00:23:46
have your
00:23:48
peace so number one how can we make it
00:23:53
through trials and tribulation number
00:23:56
one pray everybody say pray
00:24:00
everybody say pray is it
00:24:03
scriptural is anyone James
00:24:06
5:3 is anyone among you suffering let
00:24:10
him pray wow that powerful if God
00:24:14
himself will say that to a his child it
00:24:18
shows that himself to is willing to
00:24:22
listen it said let him pray is anyone
00:24:25
among you suffering let him pray prayer
00:24:28
is essential for successfully enduring
00:24:32
trials and in the place of prayer we ask
00:24:35
for strength we ask for Grace we ask for
00:24:39
wisdom that's why in that James James
00:24:41
chapter 1 after talking about trials
00:24:44
then he say if
00:24:46
anybody uh lack wisdom let him ask what
00:24:49
is wisdom wisdom is knowing what to do
00:24:51
in the midst of Trials that's wisdom
00:24:54
Lord what do you want me to do
00:24:58
the situation of the country is is is is
00:25:03
you know you can't explain what is
00:25:05
happening but every child of God should
00:25:07
go to God what do you want me to do at
00:25:12
this
00:25:14
time my salary is not enough to buy even
00:25:19
well my so so so so is not enough to do
00:25:22
what do you want me to
00:25:26
do that's wisdom he say if anybody lack
00:25:30
wisdom let him ask and God will give him
00:25:33
generous that generous father will give
00:25:36
him without
00:25:39
upbring without finding fault he will
00:25:42
give it to you he will show you remember
00:25:44
he said I will instruct you Psalm
00:25:46
32:8 I will instruct you and teach you
00:25:50
the way you should go it's always the
00:25:52
way of profiting the way of success the
00:25:56
way you should go and I will guide you
00:25:59
with my eye God will not guide you to
00:26:01
Calamity he will not guide you to where
00:26:03
you will fall he will guide you to
00:26:05
profitable
00:26:07
ends so number one thing in the midst of
00:26:10
trial is to
00:26:12
pray trials can sometimes be direct
00:26:15
attack from Satan just as I said earlier
00:26:19
it's inside prayer too so it's
00:26:22
Warfare It's Warfare if it is direct
00:26:24
attack if you sense that this trial is
00:26:27
not from God is direct attack from Satan
00:26:30
the Bible say submit to God resist the
00:26:32
devil he will
00:26:34
flee it's inside your prayer God we the
00:26:38
holy spirit will direct you the kind of
00:26:39
prayer you should we have prayer of
00:26:42
Supplication we have the prayers of
00:26:43
Thanksgiving we have the prayer of
00:26:46
intercession we have the prayer of
00:26:51
warfare so the holy spirit will tell you
00:26:54
what kind of prayer you should pray and
00:26:56
if possible you add fast fting but time
00:26:59
will fail us to talk about that
00:27:02
today add fasting there are some
00:27:04
mountains that will not move until you
00:27:07
add fasting to it I know these days
00:27:10
people don't like to to talk about
00:27:11
fasting you don't want to lose a meal
00:27:14
but let me tell you if you don't want to
00:27:17
if you don't want to lose a me some
00:27:19
trials can come you will want to even
00:27:21
three days you will not know that you
00:27:23
have not eaten God forbid
00:27:28
God says if God sees that I love to food
00:27:31
too much there some TR that will come
00:27:33
that if I see food I'll say
00:27:35
byebye when Jah went through the belly
00:27:37
of fish three days three night he didn't
00:27:40
think of
00:27:41
food until when he opened his eye he saw
00:27:44
welcome to n say how
00:27:47
manage how manage oh you can't you can't
00:27:50
run away from
00:27:52
God praise the
00:27:55
Lord number two how should I resp to
00:27:58
trial Keep Your Heart
00:28:01
Right Keep Your Heart Right only you can
00:28:06
choose your response to trial you can
00:28:09
allow yourself to be angry fearful or
00:28:12
bitter or you can choose to receive
00:28:14
God's peace strength and Grace or
00:28:16
forgiveness it's only you that can
00:28:19
handle that try yourself uh Psalm 43:5
00:28:23
he say why are you cast down oh my soul
00:28:26
David was talking to himself he said why
00:28:28
are you cast down oh my soul and why are
00:28:31
you disquieted within me hope in God for
00:28:35
I shall yet Praise Him the help of my
00:28:39
countenance and my God he was talking to
00:28:41
himself why you cast down my soul hope
00:28:44
in God I will yet Praise Him in that
00:28:47
your situation can you say the same
00:28:49
thing hope in God I will yet praise
00:28:53
him don't be cast
00:28:56
down TR should not cast you
00:29:00
down have a right
00:29:04
heart don't allow that heart to be cast
00:29:08
down trust in God because he's bringing
00:29:10
you out of that
00:29:11
trial he bringing you out of that
00:29:14
situation so don't be bitter Philippians
00:29:17
chap 4:6 it said be anxious for nothing
00:29:21
be anxious don't worry about anything
00:29:24
worries worries will release the hand of
00:29:28
Satan to
00:29:29
torment faith will release the hand of
00:29:32
God to bless is the one you
00:29:34
choose refuse to
00:29:37
worry be anxious for nothing but in all
00:29:40
things through prayer and supplication
00:29:42
with Thanksgiving let your request be
00:29:44
made known to God he said and the peace
00:29:47
of God that pass all understanding will
00:29:49
guard your heart your heart state is so
00:29:53
important in the in in the midst of
00:29:55
trial your heart please very very
00:29:57
important don't allow your heart to be
00:29:59
weighed down by
00:30:01
anything hope in God he will take you
00:30:04
out of that
00:30:10
situation have a right heart number
00:30:12
three do not
00:30:15
run don't run away from God don't run
00:30:19
away from the
00:30:21
situation except you know that this is
00:30:25
satanically orchestrated
00:30:28
but this is a trial that God is allowing
00:30:32
don't run away I saw in the book of our
00:30:35
first Samuel chapter 1 there was farming
00:30:38
in the land yes that was God's dealing
00:30:41
with Israel there was farming in the
00:30:43
land that ELC took all his family and he
00:30:47
went to
00:30:48
Moab I believe it was without
00:30:52
God's permission he took all his family
00:30:55
they ran away so to say say
00:30:59
Jaa to Moab and when they got to Moab
00:31:03
after few years what happened El
00:31:06
died after few years what
00:31:09
happened all his two sons they
00:31:13
died when they died they had that good
00:31:17
things are already happening where they
00:31:19
ran away from we must wait allow God's
00:31:26
dealing go through that process of his
00:31:30
dealings El they ran
00:31:33
away and they left that old woman alone
00:31:36
if not go for God's intervention that
00:31:38
Ruth came
00:31:41
in I'm not saying we are not saying
00:31:43
people should not travel out in hard
00:31:45
time that allow God to speak to
00:31:48
you many of our people have lost their
00:31:51
family because they didn't hear God
00:31:53
before they relocate many
00:31:58
very painful painful
00:32:00
experience yes we can understand of the
00:32:03
situation but is
00:32:06
better is better ask
00:32:10
God I know God wants many of our people
00:32:12
to be
00:32:14
there but it's not
00:32:16
everybody ask
00:32:18
God don't run away when there is child
00:32:21
let him deal with
00:32:23
you God will never allow you to to get
00:32:28
to a disgraceful end at all even if it
00:32:31
is your own
00:32:32
making trials are to purify us that to
00:32:36
strengthen
00:32:38
us so that he can have a better us at
00:32:41
the end so don't run away waiting
00:32:48
like I just R it's in my note here the
00:32:53
singles I want us to always encourage
00:32:55
our single
00:32:58
children some of them because of little
00:33:02
delay they say if anybody comes I will
00:33:05
marry if anybody come this time I will
00:33:08
marry just simple delay the delay most
00:33:13
time is God allowing you to mature to
00:33:16
handle a
00:33:17
home it's God to allow to mature you if
00:33:21
you have gone prematurely into marriage
00:33:24
it might scatter because of your
00:33:25
attitude so you allow you to go through
00:33:27
that process of trial of waiting so that
00:33:30
you be mature so that you become a good
00:33:33
wife a good
00:33:36
husband don't anybody to hurry you ah
00:33:39
all your mes are married and
00:33:42
so and
00:33:44
so if all my mes are and so there are
00:33:47
some of my mes too that have not even
00:33:50
gotten to the level you
00:33:53
are so we must wait on
00:33:59
God so that will not be casualty at the
00:34:02
end like ELC did with his
00:34:06
family then two more obey all that God
00:34:09
says to you obedient to all it is very
00:34:13
important in Trials to listen to God and
00:34:16
then obey you must find out what God
00:34:19
wants you to do I've said it earlier
00:34:21
then obey say if anybody lacks wisdom if
00:34:25
any of you lack wisdom let him ask of
00:34:27
God God who gives to all liberally
00:34:30
without
00:34:31
reproach then be ready to obey
00:34:34
whatsoever is saying in the midst of
00:34:36
trial you see God will be speaking to
00:34:38
you he will be speaking to you those are
00:34:41
the time we must draw nearer and closer
00:34:44
to him in
00:34:46
Fellowship where we renew strength where
00:34:49
we hear what he's saying concerning the
00:34:51
next step to take then Grace to obey and
00:34:56
lastly during Tri Tri he said count it
00:34:59
all joy that's difficult he said my
00:35:04
brethren count it all joy when you fall
00:35:07
into various trials count it all joy we
00:35:12
can see uh what happened in in Acts
00:35:15
chapter 16 the Bible says Paul and Silas
00:35:19
they were in
00:35:21
jail they were they were chained between
00:35:26
Four contan soldiers
00:35:30
yet that act 16:2 at
00:35:35
midnight the most painful and difficult
00:35:39
time they raas hymn they raas song and
00:35:43
they were singing That's wow God that in
00:35:47
the midst of this Tri these people still
00:35:49
find time to worship and rejoice before
00:35:52
me I will come
00:35:54
down God came down because Angel kind
00:35:57
inhabit God's uh the prises of his
00:36:00
people is God himself that's why the
00:36:02
prison door shook the pre prison ground
00:36:06
Shook and all the prisoner the chain
00:36:10
broke and you know immediately that was
00:36:12
salvation because God himself came down
00:36:15
in the midst of your trial that's the
00:36:17
time it's not the time for pity party
00:36:20
it's not the time to drop your head and
00:36:23
begin to think of suicide is the time to
00:36:26
worship God
00:36:28
the situation of the nation calls for
00:36:31
pity party but I tell you for a child of
00:36:34
God he calls for celebration of his
00:36:37
praise of his glory sing

jail it is in that Philippian J he was
00:36:53

00:41:28
