-
Belong to you, all, our fellow brothers and sisters in
-
the Lord. This is Radio ACI today of the Harvest
-
Chapel International Commercy. We are glad to have you join
-
us for today's morning glory devotion. This is Pastor Daniel
-
ab and with me is my wife, Digness Felicia. It's
-
our desire that God will reveal his infallible wisdom to
-
us as we spend this time together in Jesus Mighty Name.
-
Please let's share with a prayer. Father, we give you
-
praise and we thank you for our lives. This morning.
-
We thank you for giving us strength and health. We
-
thank you for this opportunity to look into your wed
-
together were that you reveal your counsel to us, teach
-
us of your ways and help us to work in
-
your word all the days of our lives. In Jesus
-
Mighty Name, will have prayed. Amen, beloved. We want to
-
take our confession together from Joshua chapter one, verse eight.
-
Joshua one eight. This book of the Law shall not
-
be parted out of my mouth, but I shall meditate
-
in it day and night, that I may observe to
-
do according to all that is written in it. For
-
then I will make my way prosperous, and then I
-
will have good success. Amen, Beloved. The topic for today's
-
devotion is endurance endurance, and our texts will be taken
-
from James chapter one, verse one through aid. I'll be
-
reading from the New English translation James chapter one from James,
-
a Slave of God and the Lord Jesus Christ to
-
the twelve Tribes dispersed abroad. Greetings, my brothers and sisters,
-
consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all
-
sorts of trials, because you know that the testing of
-
your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect effect,
-
so that you will be perfect and complete, not deficient
-
in anything. But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he
-
should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand,
-
and it will be given to him. But he must
-
ask in faith without doubt. For the one who doubts
-
is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed
-
around by the wind. For that person must not suppose
-
that he will receive anything from the Lord, since he
-
is a double minded individual or stable in all his ways. Beloved,
-
Here ends the reading of the Word of the Lord.
-
Thanks be to God.
-
Endurance endurance, Beloved, The Bible draws her attention to the
-
truth that it is not only in ethnic games that
-
endurance is needed or necessary. The Christian work is one
-
that demands or thrives so much on endurance. In our
-
Christian work, however, we do not necessarily thrive on physical endurance,
-
but spiritual endurance otherwise known as inner strength. It is
-
not an easy journey at all. We need all the
-
tenicity we can amass to go on and finish the
-
journey in the set time God permits for us without
-
quitting or performing at Basmally, the whole goal of building
-
endurance is so we will last the duration of our
-
lives without breaking. Endurance makes us tough enough to go
-
through all the changing scenes of life, still exhibiting christ likeness,
-
making impact as gods ambassades, and borrowing out of earth
-
having fulfilled papers. Beloved. If durance is this important to
-
our Christian work, then how do we build endurance? Our
-
God and Father, like my football coach, knows what is
-
best for us and makes the initiative to help us
-
acquire this all important asset. How does he do this?
-
James One, Verse three reveals that our Father in Heaven
-
allows and orchestras the testing of our faith through diverse
-
challenges of life. Overcoming the challenges builds our spiritual muscles
-
and produce the desired endurance. The challenges also give our
-
endurance the opportunity to grow or mature. When endurance have
-
had its intended effect, we become perfect and complete, not
-
deficient in anything. We become resilient, tough, patient, and exhibit
-
the fruit of the spirit at all times, the fruit
-
of love, patience, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
-
self control, as stated in Galicious chapter five is twenty two.
-
That is, when we are able to face all that
-
comes our way as we journey here on it and
-
still stand, being examples to others and making it to
-
our ultimate destination Heaven. Not bowing to the pressures of
-
this life, nor switching. Comes from the lost camp to
-
that of the devil, to dine with him in the
-
face of the difficulties of life. Like the footballer who
-
has built with endurance, you will play full time, excelling
-
in whatever role. Our coach as science to win the
-
match at the end of the day. So Beloved challenges
-
her to ask what training is to the sportsmen, we
-
need not avoid them. Doing so is to leave our
-
faith on proving, giving no opportunity for endurance to mature,
-
and robbing us of being perfect and complete to face
-
the changing scenes of this life to the end. Amen,
-
Please let's take our memory verse together. Today's memory verse
-
is taken from James Chapter one, vest they reading from
-
the Nalty version. For you know that when your faith
-
is testing, your endurance has a chance to grow. James
-
Chapter one, verse three. For you know that when your
-
faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. Please,
-
let's bow our heads for a word of prayer. Further,
-
in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this
-
word that has come to us this morning, for the
-
clarity that comes to us that even in the face
-
of challenges of God as a coach as our father,
-
it is for a purpose, so that our endurance will
-
have a chance to grow, making us perfect to be
-
able to stand all the changing scenes of this life. Papa,
-
it is our prayer that this morning you give us
-
every grace that we need, that in the face of
-
challenges we do not bow out or find all tenationive roots,
-
but endeal so that we become the perfect people you
-
have destined us to be. We think you will. Bless
-
you in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen.
-
Beloved. Indeed, challenges give end around the opportunity to grow,
-
so you must not avoid them at all, because doing
-
so is to become immature in your work of faith.
-
I pray that God will grant us grace to face
-
and endure through all of life challenges, and may he
-
find us faithful even to the end in Jesus' mighty name.
-
Amen and Amen, Precious one. We are still on our
-
end of month three day first, which is ending today.
-
Please don't be left out. Do well to join the
-
midday prayers at WLK nooon and the Solution Center. The
-
prayer serve it as six pm. Make sure you keep
-

-

-
same time tomorrow. Please stay blessed and have a fruitful day.
-
Amen and Amen.
