Title: Trials Will Come
Memorize: These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Romans 8:28 (Nkjv)
[28] And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Message:
The life of a child of God is not a bed of roses, as some teenagers may think. As beautiful as God’s promises are, moments of trials and tests will definitely come.
At these points, you would be left with two choices: either to submit to the devil’s temptation to give up or choose God above everything.
Being a child of God does not guarantee a life that is free from trouble.
It means that even when trouble comes, God can bring something good out of it. I can personally attest to this fact.
Ordinarily, you would think that no evil should ever happen around me, but I was truly shaken by the loss of my son some years ago.
I was downhearted until one of my daughters sent me a text saying, “Daddy, let God carry you.”
My joy knew no bounds when God assured me that my son was resting in His bosom. In fact, I look forward to seeing my son again in glory.
My dear child, God’s plans for you are perfect, and as long as you keep serving Him, He will never let you down.
Key Point:
God can turn your trials into testimonies.
HYMN 50: CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE
1 Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We,
Thro’ The Precious Blood Of Christ We’ve Victory
If The Lord Be For Us, We Can Never Fail,
Nothing ‘Gainst His Mighty Pow’r Can E’er Prevail.
Refrain:
Conquerors Are We, Through The Blood Of Jesus,
God Wil Give Us Victory,
Through The Blood Of Jesus,
Thro’ The Lamb For Sinners Slain,
Yet Who Lives And Reigns Again,
More Than Conquerors Are We,
More Than Conquerors Are We.
2 In The Name Of Israel’s God We’ll Onward Press,
Overcoming Sin And All Unrighteousness;
Not To Us, But Unto Him The Praise Shall Be,
For Salvation And For Blood Bought Victory.
3 Unto Him That Overcometh Shall Be Given,
Here To Eat Of Hidden Manna Sent From Heav’n,
Over Yonder He The Victors Palm Shall Bear,
And A Robe Of White, And Golden Crown Shall Wear
Bible In One Year: Ezra 8:21-9:15 & 1 Corinthians 5:1-13
