James 1:2
Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. AMP
Why should we rejoice in our trials and problems? You see, there are lots of benefits for those that overcome. I will share with you a few of them today:
1. You will reign with Christ in this life. Rom 5:17
2. You will reign with Jesus in the life to come forever. Rev. 22:5
3. You will be glorified together with Christ. Rom. 8:17
4. You shall appear with Christ in glory. Col. 3:3-4
5. Jesus will give you to eat of the tree of life. Rev. 2:7
6. You will not be hurt by the second death. Rev. 2:11
7. The Lord will give you power over the nations. Rev. 2:26
Considering all these benefits, Jesus endured the cross and despised the shame, thus, giving us a model to follow. Heb. 12:2. Don’t complain in your wilderness. Don’t give up, no matter what. Don’t give up your holiness and righteousness. Hang in there, we’re almost there!
Prayer: Father, please give me the strength to hold on till the end, in Jesus name I pray, amen.
