Finding Strength in Suffering for Christ

 

  


Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,

This  epistle is to console Christian's suffering for Christ's sake (I.e Encountering trials and persecution, in the course of evangelical activity. Across the globe, on this blog titled obstacle on the path of spiritual awakening by Mobile gospel ministry.

The pioneer of Mobile gospel ministry [Pastor Akinyemi S. Olatokunbo] here to admonish you from our holy scripture.  That trial is also a test of faith that could produce endurance (I.e spiritual stamina, during rough times. As it is written in the book of James 1:2-3 (AMP)

 “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” 

The book of James calling us to a higher perspective, “to count it all joy”:

This is not because suffering makes us feel good but builds our spiritual stamina (strength and character) or refine our fire to walk with Christ.

In conclusion, your suffering is not a waste also [1 Peter 4:15 -16 (AMP)]

_"Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or a thief, or a criminal [because of wrongdoing], or as a [unwarranted] interferer in another’s business."_

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 

Another thing to note is that, “your joy is a choice” rooted in trusting that God’s plan is bigger than your pain. To convince you that our earthly trials are temporary, endurance they produce would carry us into deeper faith and greater impact for God’s Kingdom.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to see my trials through Your eyes. Teach me to rejoice, not in the pain, but in the growth and endurance You are producing in me. Strengthen my heart to stand firm, and let my life bring glory to You, even in suffering. Amen.

Faith That Overcomes

Pioneer of Mobile gospel ministry Pastor Akinyemi S Olatokunbo, welcome our audience, across the globe. Onto one of our epistle blog titled, obstacle on the path of spiritual awakening. To come and find enough strength in God's unwavering Presence. In the face of adversity, we often find ourselves asking, "Can I really overcome this?" The answer lies not in our own strength, but in the unshakeable foundation of our faith. The Bible is replete with examples of individuals who, despite seemingly insurmountable challenges, chose to trust in God's sovereignty and emerged victorious. Abraham, Moses, David, and countless others demonstrate that faith is not the absence of fear, but the courage to trust in God's goodness and power. When we face trials, we're tempted to focus on the problem rather than the Problem-Solver. Yet, Scripture reminds us that "with God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). Our faith is not a magic wand, but a powerful tool tha...

   Hey! As a Christian, tonight's cross over service promised to usher in the New year 2026. Accept my congratulatory message, “Happy New year” from the pioneer of Mobile gospel ministry (Pastor Akinyemi S. Olatokunbo).  I am also imploring those spiritually awoken not to be carried away by its unnecessary excitement. For our Christian faith required us to be intentional, if we would rise above our weakness like this regenerated king of Babylon”.  “ Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase” .  Daniel 4: 37 Human weakness could also be referred to as limitations, vulnerabilities, and imperfections e.t.c or classified as: 1. Emotional Weakness: Struggling with anxiety, fear, or anger. 2. Physical Weakness: Dealing with illness, disability, or fatigue. 3. Mental Weakness: Battling with doubts, confusion, or addiction. 4. Spiritual Weakness...

We pray that Almighty God would grant us enough strength and wisdom for proper heavenly boarding.  So as not to miss the redemptive flight of Christ to peaceful heaven. “For our citizenship is in heaven, as we eagerly await Christ's return.

[Philippians 3:20-21]. Without neglecting, what would become the fate of a disobedient passenger that missed the free first flight of Christ, hum!  On this our communal flight board tagged, “Overcoming obstacles on the path of spiritual awakening.
