it that is why you go through challenges and pains but understand that your destiny outweighs those pains 2 Corinthians 417 says for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all the Affliction you're going through is not compared to the Future that God has prepared for you every great person goes through this season of pain and has a hidden scar that no one knows about that scar is the secret to the glory they're experiencing not many people go through the scar or want to experience it we all

want the glory but that is not how the principle of greatness works there's no making of a champion without a process that requires pain discipline prunings and Alignment no one wins the Olympics by mistake they undergo rigorous training that nobody knows about except their coaches God is coaching you through that difficulty in preparation for the Glorious Destiny ahead of you that Affliction is meant to birth new things and it has a great message for the world that you may not be aware of yet sometimes the devil will whisper negative thoughts into your hearts during those

trying times to make you miss out on God's glorious plan for you but take note of these few tips they will help you see your afflictions in a different light and strengthen your faith in God the first thing you need to know is that God does not take evil occurrences trials or distress and put them in the L lives of his children to punish them the devil orchestrates every trace of wickedness however God can take advantage of this situation and use them as pruning tools that bring us to the point of stature strength and usefulness

in life God does not abandon us in our trials he said in Isaiah 432 when you pass through the waters I will be with you and when you pass through the rivers they will not SW sweep over you when you walk through the fire you will not be burned the Flames will not set you Ablaze God will not allow those afflictions to consume or destroy you but he'll permit them because there's a purpose he wants to achieve through them in your life he permitted the devil to take everything from job not because he hated job

or because he sinned against him but because he had better plans for him he had a plan to duplicate all that job had any difficult situation God permits into your life comes for your good trophies are gotten through Labor and hard work your hard work will pay off one day and you'll forget everything you ever went through God is not out to punish you with problems but to fine-tune your life through the furnace of afflictions secondly you need to know that you didn't go through that pain because you lack Faith or you're a sinful person

the feeling of guilt and a sense of inadequacy can push you into depression when you go through challenges you'll find yourself doubting your relationship with God and wondering why God remains silent despite your prayers but understand that even though God is not happy when we sin against him he doesn't punish us for our sins his mercies are always sufficient to give us another chance the Bible says a righteous man falls seven times and gets back up that's God stretching his hand over and again to pull you up so don't feel it's your sin or prayerlessness

that is making that issue persist if God has not accomplished his purpose through that problem he'll allow it to linger until his work is completed moreover your trying times are a time of loneliness the journey to Destiny is very lonely no one will come through for you challenges are periods when family friends and loved ones abandon you Jesus had many disciples and congregations that gathered around him daily but no one was with him during his trials and crucifixion except John the Beloved even Peter to whom he handed over his ministry denied him only a few

lucky people have persons like John the Beloved who will stick by them during their trying times so it is not because your friends hate you that made them behave as they did when you were going through that challenge it is necessary to build your faith in God alone and not in any human have you ever wondered why things seem to be going well for others while you must suffer so much before achieving something little that is because you're not like everyone else the responsibilities you're meant to shoulder in life determine the training you undergo don't

compare yourself to others you and God are on on this journey you've understood that tough situations don't happen because God abandoned you or you didn't have enough Faith to scale through but because God has a purpose for that Affliction the question now is what exactly is God's purpose for that challenge what is the profit of your afflictions we'll discuss just five of them number one it's to process you into maturity Galatians 41:2 says what I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child he is no different from a slave although he

owns the whole estate he is subject to Guardians and trustees until the time set by his father takes pain and suffering to process a child from the state of Innocence to the place of authority there's a requisite level of Innocence you must give up if you want to sit in the seat of authority you have to come come to a point where you no longer see the rods as a tool of punishment but as comfort only children complain when they're scolded or whipped but David said they rod and thy staff comforts me you may not

have the strength to scale through until you become comfortable with the challenges afflictions are the channel through which you access power relevance and maturity to effectively Steward God's grace and Glory number two to build your courage one proof that you have gone through the season of Affliction is when what made you cry yesterday made you laugh today it is a season when all your fears happen to you and you no longer have anything to fear that is the secret of Courage when you consistently fall for the devil's schemes it indicates that you're weak and only

strong people are fit for Destiny let there be a point in your life where the devil's Antics do not move you because your mind would be made up to do the right thing no matter what you can start little because the higher you go in life the bigger the challenges so if you're not courageous enough to endure the first stage of the challenge you may never enter the glory of that stage that'll introduce you to the next phase number three it teaches you obedience obedience is needed not just to succeed but also so to maintain

success rebellion and pride are tools that can easily reduce you from that Glory into shame and disgrace so God's strategy to keep us perpetually at the top is to pass us through some weak moments to Humble us this protocol does not exclude even his only begotten son as recorded in Hebrew 5 8 the Bible says although he was a son he learned obedience from what he suffered Jesus had to learn how to submit to the will of his father through his Affliction so it's not something anyone can escape in life afflictions are not there to

kill us they reveal spiritual systems that bring us to the point of obedience where you can't help but start seeing things from God's perspective and that makes you completely dependent on God obedience is needed to fulfill purpose and can only be learned by suffering number four it teaches you kindness and compassion Hebrews 4:15 says for we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are yet was without sin you can never relate to people's problems without

going through it yourself you learn to become more empathetic towards people when you think about your history in that particular situation your heart will be open to help people more because you you know how it feels to be in that condition that a vital character God wants to cultivate in the life of anyone he wants to place in a position of authority God is more interested in your character than your comfort so he doesn't mind stretching you out of your comfort zone to teach you that virtue of kindness needed for you to Reign effectively in

the glory he has for you God sees the purpose you're created to fulfill so he takes you through training that makes you fit for that purpose number five impartation of Grace for the Fulfillment of your purpose has been confirmed that what you suffer most in life is connected to the purpose you're meant to fulfill hence an anointing at the place of Affliction and Pain birs Solutions to problems there's a pressing and a Breaking of the outer man before the spirit can be released to function in that Dimension the grace to solve a problem is released

to you when you have gone through that pain no ordination is as important as the impartation you received when going through that challenge David had other brothers but was left alone to tend his father's flock in the bush he became exposed to lions bears and other dangerous animals in the forest that that training released the anointing of a fighter on him he used that same experience to convince Saul that he could handle handle Goliath what if he had no experience with those beasts do you think Saul would have permitted him to fight Goliath your struggles

in the secret are the evidence that will convince people to listen to you believe in you and entrust responsibilities into your hands if you've won the battle against lust in secret there'll be grace to help others out of that same pit if you've suffered an ailment in your life the wisdom and Grace that made you survive is available to help others through it it could be a healing anointing or a passion for medical care if you suffered poverty and had victory over it you should have tips on attaining Prosperity the pain you went through or

currently going through can make you a solution to that problem it has been an interesting journey to familiarize ourselves with the benefits of our afflictions and we shall soon proceed to learn the things you should do in your time of distress to be transformed into a better person but before then take a few minutes to meditate on these points which of them have you experienced during your season of Affliction have you become more mature courageous compassionate and full of the wisdom and anointing to deliver people from that challenge if yes congratulations you're on your way

to a glorious Destiny now in case your current simply going through your season of Affliction what must you do for God to transform your Affliction into a glorious Destiny a lot of people lose their lives to the distress of life because they never had the wisdom to overcome or even become transformed by it these five Secrets will help you survive but will transform your life and give you an enviable Destiny the first one is faith in God faith is waiting on God's timing without knowing when expecting a miracle without knowing how trusting God's purpose without

knowing why and continuing to persist without knowing how long trusting God throughout your adversity is a secret to strength and a victory you'll manifest when that season ends the seed of Faith planted in the soil of pain will bring forth life and Beauty in its season you may not see anything that looks like the change you desire but keep holding on and don't give up you don't have to understand everything only obey how you see the trouble is how you'll face it if you see it from the standpoint of fear you'll face it with fear

if you see it from the Viewpoint of doubt you'll face it with doubt but if you see it from the Viewpoint of Faith then you'll face it that way look through the eyes of faith hope and expectations and you'll be victorious over it that add is the attitude you should develop towards that challenge to get the Harvest of a glorious Destiny don't let the devil instill fear and discouragement in your heart trust in God to bring his will to pass in your life don't wait for things to change before you believe rather change it through

your Act of Faith God is in the middle of working his way through that situation allow him to do what he wants to do without fear of the out fear of the outcome means you don't trust him beloved take God by his word secondly you must avoid distractions and maintain Focus the main reason why the devil throws challenges on our way is because he wants to distract us from God's purpose and agenda for our lives he wants us to concentrate on problems so that we don't think of other ways to improve our lives or pursue

our goals if you yield to those tactics you may survive your Affliction but can never be transformed take every opportunity you see to work on your dreams don't leave your vision to start pursuing other things because you think nothing will work out for you in that direction many things pose as distractions to people today that are so irrelevant they make beautiful plans only to Forfeit them for financial challenges Financial restraints are a good excuse to be distracted if your focus is not on Jesus fix your Gaze on the author and finisher of your faith as

recorded in Hebrews 122 let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of our faith who for the joy set before him endured the cross scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God fix your eyes on the good things you'll later enjoy in life if you stay faithful and focus on God who can change your situation God's love Grace and goodness are forever new they never change think about the Glorious future ahead of you and endure the pain of those trials don't get distracted by the absence

of his voice and choose the path of least resistance know that God is with you and he won't abandon you if you allow the devil to take you from the right path because of challenges you may never experience Victory the third thing you must do is to wait for God's time it is one thing to trust God and a more complex thing to wait on him waiting for God can be very hard it takes patience and perseverance God does not hurry his agenda he doesn't rush to carry out his purpose his preparation is from one

step to the other from one stage to another and one phase to another you have to wait until he is done with all the processes don't rush out when he's still preparing you endure the pain and be well refined so that you can glitter when you're introduced to your world you would agree that David's training in the wilderness with his father's sheep should be enough for him to lead the whole Kingdom of Israel but that was just a handle Goliath he still went into hiding from his master Saul in the cave of adullam for some

time even after being anointed king before he finally Rose to the throne he could have told God that he couldn't wait anymore because he already has the anointing of a king but having the anointing is not as important as having the character to sustain it so David waited until God was done with all his obstacles before his enthronement you're not the only person God is working on in your trying times sometimes you experience delays because God wants to tackle something that will cause you trouble in the future God sees you and he's making everything work

for your good the fourth important thing to do is to move further or move on don't get stuck in what is not working out leave your place of Sorrow pain and heartache and make progress with your life Naomi moved from Bethlehem to Moab with the hope of experiencing A Greener pasture but instead she lost her husband and children children that was bad enough to give up on life and wait for her death but she was courageous enough to go back to Bethlehem she picked up the remaining pieces of herself and pushed forward her determination favored

her in the eyes of Ruth her daughter-in-law who could stay back in Moab but decided to follow her Naomi swallowed her pride and returned empty with pain to Bethlehem calling herself Mara because all she had encountered was adversity but God had another plan for her Having the courage to move on from that town that gave her the ugliest memory implicated her for a fresh beginning that decision of hers led to the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ the savior of the world Ruth Naomi's daughter-in-law followed her from Moab later married Boaz and gave birth to

OED the grandfather of King David whose lineage our Lord Jesus Christ came from maybe refusing to keep holding on to that pain is all you need to smile again life shouldn't end when you lose that relationship job or business deal life shouldn't end because a loved one who has been supportive disappointed you your hope should not be in humans but in God God told Samuel in 1 Samuel 161 the Lord said to Samuel how long will you mourn for Saul since I have rejected him as king over Israel fill your horn with oil and be

on your way I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem I have chosen one of his sons to be king why should Saul's failure stop the anointing of David because a relationship failed does not mean God cannot bring a better person into your life when will you move from your Moab to your Bethlehem don't let your season of mourning for what you lost turned into a lifetime of mourning there are more beautiful things ahead for you God is waiting for you at the end to give you that glorious Destiny he has prepared for you finally

maintain your joy and praise this seems to be the most difficult thing to do in your season of Affliction but believe it it works the Bible said in 1 Peter 412 dear friends do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering as though something strange was happen Happ to you but Rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed the Bible says we should not be surprised that we are suffering because Affliction is normal for people who want to experience Glory Jesus the

son of God went through the same thing and is now seated at his father's right hand ruling and reigning in Victory that is the place we also belong if we're able to endure the tough times we go through do you still remember Paul and Silas they were in one of the dangerous Jewish prisons and could have been killed despite the pain and discomfort they were going through they chose not to mourn their predicament but rather praise God that action took them out of that prison be joyful turn your morning into dancing and praise God no

matter the challenge that is how you get victory over difficult situations God told Samuel to fill his horn with oil and go into the house of Jesse that oil there means Joy praise and expectancy not complaints stop mourning what you've lost and rejoice for what is ahead of you your Victory is here no doubt God has encouraged you from this video that he will transform your past Affliction in to a glorious Destiny I trust that you've gotten Clarity and a better understanding of everything that has happened to you in the past and that you're ready

to embrace your glorious future with a sense of positivity I want you to fug to Aspire will not be delayed any longer when you've passed through the furnace of afflictions and God has refined you according to his desire everything will start working out for your good and even your enemies will begin to favor you unimaginable doors will start opening for you you'll be surprised by how rapid your transformation will be just keep your hope in God and refuse to give up and you'll see the beautiful end of those trials I'll conclude with a story that

should serve as a food for thought Eli's daughter-in-law gave birth prematurely after she heard that the Ark of God was captured and her husband was dead out of the pain of the sequence of unfortunate incidences she named her son kabad which means that the glory has departed many negative things were happening around her but God brought a new beginning amidst that Affliction that should bring back the glory of Israel but she never saw it her eyes were on the negativities not the solution God had just birthed through her that child would have continued the dynasty

of Eli if he had been well well named but we never heard about him again because his mother named him based on her past never get to the point where you become so blinded by your pain that you never see the second chance God is giving you don't let your awful past deprive you of the Glorious Destiny ahead of you rather transform that past to favor your future let us pray father Lord in heaven I grateful for your love and mercy that have brought me thus far I know it is only by your grace that
