  1. Belong to you, all, our fellow brothers and sisters in

  2. the Lord. This is Radio ACI today of the Harvest

  3. Chapel International Commercy. We are glad to have you join

  4. us for today's morning glory devotion. This is Pastor Daniel

  5. ab and with me is my wife, Digness Felicia. It's

  6. our desire that God will reveal his infallible wisdom to

  7. us as we spend this time together in Jesus Mighty Name.

  8. Please let's share with a prayer. Father, we give you

  9. praise and we thank you for our lives. This morning.

  10. We thank you for giving us strength and health. We

  11. thank you for this opportunity to look into your wed

  12. together were that you reveal your counsel to us, teach

  13. us of your ways and help us to work in

  14. your word all the days of our lives. In Jesus

  15. Mighty Name, will have prayed. Amen, beloved. We want to

  16. take our confession together from Joshua chapter one, verse eight.

  17. Joshua one eight. This book of the Law shall not

  18. be parted out of my mouth, but I shall meditate

  19. in it day and night, that I may observe to

  20. do according to all that is written in it. For

  21. then I will make my way prosperous, and then I

  22. will have good success. Amen, Beloved. The topic for today's

  23. devotion is endurance endurance, and our texts will be taken

  24. from James chapter one, verse one through aid. I'll be

  25. reading from the New English translation James chapter one from James,

  26. a Slave of God and the Lord Jesus Christ to

  27. the twelve Tribes dispersed abroad. Greetings, my brothers and sisters,

  28. consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all

  29. sorts of trials, because you know that the testing of

  30. your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect effect,

  31. so that you will be perfect and complete, not deficient

  32. in anything. But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he

  33. should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand,

  34. and it will be given to him. But he must

  35. ask in faith without doubt. For the one who doubts

  36. is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed

  37. around by the wind. For that person must not suppose

  38. that he will receive anything from the Lord, since he

  39. is a double minded individual or stable in all his ways. Beloved,

  40. Here ends the reading of the Word of the Lord.

  41. Thanks be to God.

  42. Endurance endurance, Beloved, The Bible draws her attention to the

  43. truth that it is not only in ethnic games that

  44. endurance is needed or necessary. The Christian work is one

  45. that demands or thrives so much on endurance. In our

  46. Christian work, however, we do not necessarily thrive on physical endurance,

  47. but spiritual endurance otherwise known as inner strength. It is

  48. not an easy journey at all. We need all the

  49. tenicity we can amass to go on and finish the

  50. journey in the set time God permits for us without

  51. quitting or performing at Basmally, the whole goal of building

  52. endurance is so we will last the duration of our

  53. lives without breaking. Endurance makes us tough enough to go

  54. through all the changing scenes of life, still exhibiting christ likeness,

  55. making impact as gods ambassades, and borrowing out of earth

  56. having fulfilled papers. Beloved. If durance is this important to

  57. our Christian work, then how do we build endurance? Our

  58. God and Father, like my football coach, knows what is

  59. best for us and makes the initiative to help us

  60. acquire this all important asset. How does he do this?

  61. James One, Verse three reveals that our Father in Heaven

  62. allows and orchestras the testing of our faith through diverse

  63. challenges of life. Overcoming the challenges builds our spiritual muscles

  64. and produce the desired endurance. The challenges also give our

  65. endurance the opportunity to grow or mature. When endurance have

  66. had its intended effect, we become perfect and complete, not

  67. deficient in anything. We become resilient, tough, patient, and exhibit

  68. the fruit of the spirit at all times, the fruit

  69. of love, patience, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and

  70. self control, as stated in Galicious chapter five is twenty two.

  71. That is, when we are able to face all that

  72. comes our way as we journey here on it and

  73. still stand, being examples to others and making it to

  74. our ultimate destination Heaven. Not bowing to the pressures of

  75. this life, nor switching. Comes from the lost camp to

  76. that of the devil, to dine with him in the

  77. face of the difficulties of life. Like the footballer who

  78. has built with endurance, you will play full time, excelling

  79. in whatever role. Our coach as science to win the

  80. match at the end of the day. So Beloved challenges

  81. her to ask what training is to the sportsmen, we

  82. need not avoid them. Doing so is to leave our

  83. faith on proving, giving no opportunity for endurance to mature,

  84. and robbing us of being perfect and complete to face

  85. the changing scenes of this life to the end. Amen,

  86. Please let's take our memory verse together. Today's memory verse

  87. is taken from James Chapter one, vest they reading from

  88. the Nalty version. For you know that when your faith

  89. is testing, your endurance has a chance to grow. James

  90. Chapter one, verse three. For you know that when your

  91. faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. Please,

  92. let's bow our heads for a word of prayer. Further,

  93. in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this

  94. word that has come to us this morning, for the

  95. clarity that comes to us that even in the face

  96. of challenges of God as a coach as our father,

  97. it is for a purpose, so that our endurance will

  98. have a chance to grow, making us perfect to be

  99. able to stand all the changing scenes of this life. Papa,

  100. it is our prayer that this morning you give us

  101. every grace that we need, that in the face of

  102. challenges we do not bow out or find all tenationive roots,

  103. but endeal so that we become the perfect people you

  104. have destined us to be. We think you will. Bless

  105. you in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen.

  106. Beloved. Indeed, challenges give end around the opportunity to grow,

  107. so you must not avoid them at all, because doing

  108. so is to become immature in your work of faith.

  109. I pray that God will grant us grace to face

  110. and endure through all of life challenges, and may he

  111. find us faithful even to the end in Jesus' mighty name.

  112. Amen and Amen, Precious one. We are still on our

  113. end of month three day first, which is ending today.

  114. Please don't be left out. Do well to join the

  115. midday prayers at WLK nooon and the Solution Center. The

  116. prayer serve it as six pm. Make sure you keep

  117. your focal right here on Radio ACI today so you

  118. can maintain a spiritful day. Also, try to introduce a

  119. platform to your friends and family members so they would

  120. also get spiritually nourished. So we'll come your way again

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

  122. Amen and Amen.
