you hallelujah we ask these mercies in jesus name amen we're going to turtle bibles hallelujah to ephesus to romans chapter five chapter 5 and we'll be reading just three verses verse verse starting at verse three and it reads i did not only so but we glory in tribulations also knowing that tribulation worked at patience and patients experience and experience hope and who make it not ashamed because the love of god is shed abroad in our hearts by the holy ghost which is given unto us another version not only so but we also glory in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance perseverance character and correct hope and hope does not put us to shame because god's love has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit who has been given to us you may be seated thank you jesus there is no doubt in our minds that we are living in uncertain times the question may be asked what good thing can come from suffering and i'm speaking to you under the topic god is doing a work in you god is doing a work in you and it takes only four steps and these are the four steps that we are going to be looking at what good thing can come from suffering suffering tribulation is suffering and suffering is not just one thing it says tribulation so we are look sufferings in this time in which we live we can either become angry or bitter we are confronted with all manner of things that could make us either of the two when we think about the sicknesses around us death financial and economic problems difficulties of in so many different areas of our lives broken marriages unemployment it's suffering when a father looks at his wife and children and he has to shake his head and said there's no food we have to go to bed without eating coupled with all of this is the high rate of crime and violence oh my god heinous crimes we have never seen a time like this the spiraling the rapid spiraling of kobit 19 infection hospitals not being able to cope frontline workers stress to the limit we have lost friends we have lost neighbors we have lost co-workers and the list could go on and on and we are impacted by all of these things they are taking a toll on us when i hear a notification bell goes up on my phone i said oh god what is this when i look at the numbers of texts i'm more than one brother right i said oh my god i have to pray as a cowboys jesus i don't know if you have been impacted so many have succumbed to this dreaded disease and it is not only the adults that are being affected but the children we talk about mental anguish when we were grown up we knew nothing about mental problems it was dolly house skipping around the yard shut down the sunday and all that it was a time when children are just happy we run we escape we play drugs you think of all the fun times would have but not so not so and the effect of the virus has is causing a domino effect on families suffering no one wants to suffer no one wants to suffer but the good news is that god has a purpose for each one who is willing to suffer with him and what i want for us to understand today is that we need i know thursday pastor talk about us studying the world so that we can understand the word suffering has always been god's purpose for us in the garden god introduced death so that he could make a way for the redemption of mankind you shall surely die what if there were no death it means that man would live eternally in sin so there has got to be death in order to bring forth life if we suffer with him we shall also reign with him hallelujah praise god so you will agree that the christian life is hard it's hard because man is always seeking the easy way out we want when things are just going good there's money in our pockets we're employed there is no death and oh we can move about freely the word suffering is translated from a greek word which means pressure pressure and yesterday i was downtown and i hear this lady she's from another faith and she said and she works in the hotel industry pressure i tell you i've never seen a time pressure pressure and that's exactly what it is suffering brings pressure praise god for us living in this time period just before the coming of the lord we are experiencing what we call the birth pangs and with this birth pang and with the bird pants will come a lot of pressure it is going to come from the left the right below beneath and we are feeling as if you are being pressed in it reminds me of the children of israel after 400 years of suffering and we know all the miracles that god wrought in his egypt now they were on their way with god's promise that he would take them to the promised land but no sooner had they left beyond the outskirts of egypt they came to a place almighty god hallelujah hallelujah the mountains were on either side pharaoh's army was behind and stretched stretching before them was the red sea they were trapped pressure begins to build they begin to feel the intense pressure and they cried out moses it would have been better if we had stayed in egypt and served the egyptian that is how low one can get having seen all the miracles the ten miracles and god redemption because that's what they happen on the night we call it the night of deliverance when the blood was applied to the doorposts and the lintens god led them out of egypt and a mighty with a mighty hand but now as they taste these obstacles the pressure begins to build on them and they start to murmur and cried against moses [Music] but god said wherefore does thou cry out to me why are you crying unto me i have told you to go forward church of the living god in this critical time in the time in which we live god is saying to us go forward we have been sealed with god's promise the holy spirit he paid the path before us he said walk in it do this but we have we begin to shift our focus and i can tell you this pandemic has come to move us from our vantage point where we are focused on god know everybody we are talking about the pandemic more than we are talking about god and i believe god is angry god is saying wherefore are you crying out to me why are you praying when i told you to go forward we can't be encumbered with these things god knows that this time would come nothing takes him by surprise it is all a part of god's plan he said for we know all things work together for good so god is using these things to bring out the good in us brethren god is moving us from one spirit to another hallelujah praise god he said if we abide in him and he and us my god then the pressure will be easy and the light when we become focused we don't have to worry about these things because i am safe in god's hand god i when we started out on this journey we gave our life to god we belong to him and don't tell me that god is not able to take care of that which belongs to him god doesn't need our help there are so many promises in the bible to assure us that he is able to take care of us ephesians 1 and 11 furthermore because we are united with christ we have received an inheritance from god for he chose us in advance and he makes everything work out according to his plan these two verses are keys to help us get through times like these don't curse this moment many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord delivered him out of them all amen god is able his ways are not our ways saith the lord and there are times when we are praying for patience have you been praying for patients there are times when we think we don't have it but when we do that we need to get ready for tribulation we need to get ready for suffering patient does it come like that there's a price you see there's no other way to get patients right we have to go the truth of this is that we have to go through sufferings you may look at a simple example right the truth is some of us have people in our lives that we can't stand right now they are the ones who will mature us spirituality and help us to reach our destiny did you know that at the workplace you might have somebody even here in the church but because you want to make it you will go home and you will pray so don't curse the person because as i said god's ways and not always god sent people in our lives to bring out the best in us one summer i said if i never had a problem i would know that god could serve them god in psalms 16 verse 8 god said moab is my worship the morbid israel's next door neighbor right troublesome next-door neighbor and we have some today you have some neighbors that you just can't stand and these mobiles will drive the israelites crazy right but such people are placed there [Music] right to bring out the best in us to keep us on the path that god has for us so who's your worst base who brings out the worst in you who drives you up the wall they're not just pissed they're not just bothersome god has placed them there he said he's still working on me to make me what i ought to be hallelujah who drags you to your knees whose churches your faith who develops your character the problem we have is that we pray for certain things but god has a process that we have to go through so only as we get to know the lord better can we recognize how many of us in hindsight i said my god this is exactly what god was doing if god didn't send swanson in my life i would know how to forgive i would know how sweet forgiveness is and we could name so many other examples when we recognize it we know that god was there all the time so tribulation worketh patience perseverance suffering build perseverance you notice even when you are sick there is nothing you can do but wait and god you could sell all your cows all your lands but god has to take you through the process don't think you can ring god's hand you cannot bribe god we just have to wait and god perseverance we've got to display great determination diligence praise god hallelujah paul in writing this was in no doubt about that tribulation suffering worketh perseverance but it doesn't mean that the christian race is over i've been on this journey a long time there have been so many rivers to cross so many valleys high mountains hallelujah but we've got to wait and god he's still working on me instead we see that suffering spurs perseverance it gives us a kickstart praise god they get it up and they get an instinct in us comes to bear and carry someone through the trials and towards their goal that's where we have testimonies testimonies that have stood the test of times and nothing beats our testimony in hebrews he said looking on to jesus so that is what we do as we go we grim and we bear we pray we talk to god and we do what we have to do but during this process we keep our eyes on the goal steadfastly on the goal looking on to jesus the offer and finisher of our faith paul is saying that the suffering that comes from a christian generates good consequences all things as a result of being patient as a result of as a result of just being there in our place focusing on jesus it generates good consequences we reap these benefits all things work together for good we have examples joseph if that's if what happened to joseph has happened to any of us i don't know because less has happened and many are out there many have turned their backs on god but for joseph it was adorned everything was just as far as we are concerned but if we could just look in the realm of the spirit and see all that god has lying down for us and the process it's like in the natural we've got a baby has to go through the process don't it no matter how you want that baby to come first it has to go through the process if it comes too early it might die or you might have to have it incubated right no matter how there is a process a process god is a god of order amen so the perseverance the patience that we must exercise helps to build our character hallelujah when we real when we fail to go but we fail to persevere we are going to be on the outside we will never and can never become the person god wants us to be but when we stay there and we have it right god has set in the church governments he has placed a pastor over us if god wanted you to be the pastor or me nobody could stop us because god said he can choose whoever he will in daniel he said leave the best person so when we see certain persons going to government nobody can put them there only god as romans tell us god placed them there in government not the people he only uses the people right so it means that we must be subject to authority so when we begin to rile and become disobedient it simply means that we are saying god i'm bigger than you i know more than you i don't have to do this i don't have to follow my pastor it means that you have stepped outside of the process right he is still working on me he is still working on you suffering produces perseverance and perseverance character police are thinking when he wrote this up the character like many times persons will say pastor i need a recommendation and you say the person is honest and the person is that right he's not talking about character that we inherit things that we inherit but they correct the person that you have become has there been a change in your life since you have been saved since you have started on this journey has your character be is your character being molded to conform to the image of god that's what paul is talking about everyday we must be more like him and paul you the the greek word that was used the kidney and it means proven character we have so many examples in the bible that is a character that comes from being tested oh my god you understand when he said in matthew if they strike you on the right sheep turn the left you don't retaliate oh he's still working on me [Music] hallelujah to make me what i ought to be the bible let's just know in jeremiah the lord said jeremy i want you to go down to the potter's house observe healing what the potter is doing hallelujah oh mighty god and as he watched and the potter picks up a lump of clay and he puts it on the spinning wheel and he begins to mold and mold and i notice they use their hands even a little grubber can mar that mold in the potter's head he knows just what he wants to build to mold the image is in his head and so as a wheel spins oh kosher talaba hey as the wheel spins and as he begins to put it together he sees the shape of the image that is in his mind beginning to take shape mighty god that's how we are in the party sand god is the potter we are the clay but if for example he feels evil grabber [Music] he would take that lump of clay he would stop because no i will not be able he said if the clay becomes mal in the potter's hand then he just gathered back that lump and he mold it he put it together and we can't get the idea like we'll be making dumplings and it starts again because the image that is coming out is not what is in his mind god has the finished product in his mind of what we ought to be hallelujah hallelujah so there comes a time in our lives if we feel that god somehow have slipped out the track god there's a crack in my clay he said just take up the broken pieces take them up the potter is ready and willing to remake to remold the vessel all over again hallelujah thank you jesus it is our proven character when we are battered when we are buffeted when we can stand up in the midst of the crowd hallelujah and all around those people oh getting panic attacks and all sorts of things like hell just break loose around us we can be like the willow i know in whom i have believed i know god has called me and placed me on this journey and he said he'll never leave me not forsake me i can't see but step by step as i go through the process i can look back and say wow you know last year this time you ever hear people say god has changed me it's mean that we're not conforming to the image of god god is beginning to see his image in us praise god when we are tested and brethren this is our testing time [Music] we cannot be like the world we are the light that's a process to you know to become that light that will shine brighter and brighter we are emanating the light jesus christ said he is the light of the world we are the little lights so if our lights are not shining it means something is wrong we have missed something malachi 3 verses 20 store he is like a refiners fire and the like fuller soap and he shall sit as a refiner and purify of silver and he shall purify the sons of levi and purge him as gold and silver character that is built in us is like precious metal put through white heart fire so that everything in pure is burnt away only the best remains the source told up this lady as she sat and she observed the fire the smith she asks a question and how do you know when the gold is refined purified as a matter of fact she asked the question do you have to sit there all the time he said yes he has to sit and that's what god is doing god has never left us god is constantly watching over us when we don't feel the tug it means that we have stepped out of the presence of god but he is there like the silver smith watching it can't get too hot and nothing can get into the melted liquid how do you know when it is purified the silversmith said until i see my reflection how do we know hallelujah oh mighty god let's lift our hands and worship god oh hallelujah oh hallelujah hallelujah until god can see his reflection in us then that's the time we can lift our hand but god is still working at us where can we jesus world come the lord till you see your reflection in every part of me hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah job is another person who has known sufferings brethren i believe to look at it i said one by one they didn't all come at the same time but just as he got the bad news here of his children then another servant and another servant almighty god he said job he was being pressured pressured pressured job didn't know that there was a conversation between god and the devil because he has access even now to the throne of god hallelujah and god proud look at job have you considered my servant job hallelujah thank you jesus could god say that about us could god say that about us today and so job was just overwhelmed with all the bad news the baby said he tore his clothes he put a sackcloth and poured ashes over himself he said the lord give us that he take it away oh god wants us to adopt an attitude and thanksgiving even when we are going through the valley when we are going to the deepest and darkest valley hallelujah we must maintain our faith in god we must stand on his words hallelujah we can't wonder did god say such and such his promises sure no we must be convinced and stand firmly on the word of god hallelujah though my sins may be battered hallelujah it doesn't matter what condition it's about the heart it's about our conviction and in job chapter 23 when all his friends came and they begin to question job and to form their own opinions of what could have caused all of this horrific disaster distress upon job hallelujah job maintained his integrity even his wife who was so close to him he said why don't you just curse god i'm brethren i hate to say this but in this time even people who are born again they say where is god in all of this some have backslidden hallelujah some are thinking about championship for there's a god all this couldn't happen but job in chapter 23 and verse 10 he said but he knows the way i take when he has tried me hallelujah oh hallelujah but he knows the way that's the kind of confidence we need to have he knows the way when he had tried me i shall come out as pure gold i shall come forth as gold you know the process so suffering does not rob the christians of their potential it doesn't thank you jesus it doesn't rob us of our potential suffering plus perseverance gets them to their potential i wonder if we understand what suffering will lead us to it gets us to our potential in jesus christ that's what god wants hallelujah that's the ultimate hallelujah [Music] just lift your hands hallelujah suffering plus perseverance gets us to our potential christian character is not inherited it's not taught it doesn't even come to bible study a prayer that may surprise you don't it christian character comes to testing you can sit under a teacher and listen to the bible being taught and you can pray but brethren if the things are not put in practice they have no use we can hear and hear and there's no application it comes to testing walking in the dark paul never imagined christian life a christian life without problem right the apostles and all the first century christians were no strangers to suffering praise god we need to know that god is mature in us each step is taking us to our potential and so today i want us to know that god is still working on us he wants us to use the opportunity this opportunity to recognize as the songwriter said he draws me aside to be tested and tried what do we do in this time what do we do are we closer drawn to god it gives us time to reflect on ourselves for if in this life only we have hope will be of all man most miserable god gives us hope in the 11th chapter of hebrews towards the end the bible paints a picture hallelujah of the early church and you can't help but being moved when you read the account of their response to suffering hallelujah and he said women receive no let's start at 33. who through faith subdue kingdoms wrought righteousness obtain promises stop the mouth of lies quench the violence of fire escaping the edge of the sword out of weakness were made strong violent in fight turned to flight the armies of the aliens women received their dead rays to life again and others were tortured not accepting deliverance that they might obtain a better resurrection and others had trial of cruel markets and scourgings when you talk about scourging is not too whip it's 39 save one fourth with metal are bones attached to the tip we used to call it about the catamaran and these were burned roman soldiers big strong and you were tied to a pose and bender go down there they put it on and they dragged it so it comes out with flesh sinews muscles so the back was like tuttered and torn but they suffered those for the name for the name lord have mercy we are not being tortured are our characters going to be molded how are we going to be proven because we're hiding we're hiding is god bigger than koved is god bigger than covered you know i contracted kobe and i said god you know when you are sick that's when the devil comes but i said satan i'm standing on the word of god anyway if he choose to take me out i'm a victor hallelujah and if you choose to make me live i'm a victor but god my body my body is the temple of a living god this is where you dwell when i started on this journey i said god my life belongs to you so i'm trusting you god to take care i can't tell you what to do hallelujah and then i look back and i said god you're able to keep the fish in the salt water it thrives it lives you sustain it hallelujah you're able and today i am just giving god thanks hallelujah and i know it was not by chance that god allowed that to happen for nothing beats a testimony hallelujah there are those who may be afraid but i'm an example god can take care he stopped the mouths of the lion is anything too hard for god hallelujah so in this time god is trying to bring out the best and i can tell you when you are sick when you hear somebody close to you there and you have the same personas it's the time the devil come whispering in your ears hallelujah but god said he has overcome and because he has overcome the world we too yes god overcame the devil he destroyed all his the devices of the enemy he in colossians talks about it right he was just like in the days when they would fight he put his feet on the devil's neck the conqueror after battle would ride on a white horse and the people would be withdrawn the street and he would watch a young friendly with the the enemies naked handcuffed behind and there was rejoicing brethren let's keep the end in our minds if we can't see the end looking unto jesus that's our hope the author and the finisher of our faith god is able god wants to do a work in us praise god we have hope he has spread abroad love love we never knew what love means and god through the power of the holy ghost has spread his love in our hearts he gave us love as we begin this journey he treated us as though we have not sinned god said you can do it and now we have a host of weaknesses urging us encouraging us stay in the race god wants us to come out as gold tried in the fire the lord bless you don't be swayed by the naysayers stop spending so much time about providing you you never believe that kobe has become some of us gods because when we begin to spend so much time he has given us our thought let us walk in our apostolic authority walk it's a big challenge on the sick let us not cover and hide as if god is on vacation he is very much here with us he is there encouraging us everything we need for this journey god has provided we can do it rock

asked what is it that drives you to your knees hallelujah lord god almighty hallelujah i don't even need to add to the word of the lord but all i could think about hallelujah was the situation hallelujah with elkanah and his two wives anna and pinana hallelujah and how is it that anna was barren and penina hallelujah was showing out the babies hallelujah and she was mocking anna hallelujah and instead of allowing that to break her and to drive her away from the lord the bible says that hallelujah the situation drove her to her knees and i believe right now that as the lord has spoken to us hallelujah you that are live streaming whatever situation that you're in hallelujah let it drive you to your knees this morning hallelujah lord god almighty that the lord has spoken unto you i pray
