ARE YOU ENJOYING OR ENDURING?

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Isaiah 65:22
Main Text:

Some of us are enjoying life while others are enduring theirs. How are you faring with your own today? A man went to the market to buy shirts and trousers, when he was told the price he shuddered, and began to haggle/argue relentlessly. Another man came by after the first man left; “How much are these shirts and trousers?” he asked; the seller told him the same price he had given to the first man. “Give me one dozen each of shirts and trousers,” he requested. Dear beloved, which of the two buyers would you want to be in his shoes?

   Are you enjoying or enduring your marriage, courtship, ministry, neighbors, career, education or financial position? How do you react when you have traffic jams in your investments, and when your investments are not yielding the right dividends, or when you are discouraged? Take heart, the traffic jam will soon be over in Jesus name. The Bible says in the book of Psalm 91; 1 that ‘he that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under shadow of the Almighty.’ There is no amount of travails around you that will unseat you from your destiny so far you dwell in God. Get your contract papers, documents, share certificates etc. and tender them before the Lord as king Hezekiah did in II kings 19:14-15 and it will surprise you what the Lord shall do.

   Beloved, our salvation in Christ is all round. It means our business is saved from peril, our marriage is saved from frustration, our children are saved from satanic influence and attack and also our body is saved from demonic attack etc. that is the salvation God has granted you and I as believers. His word- God cannot fail as long as you remain in His Kingdom.

Prayer: I will not be frustrated to make it in life
