Words from the Mouth. By Ikpotokin Samuel

*Our God will always remain, though we are in pain and always complain, remember He guards our terrain.
 *What more could we possibly want that we don't already have? It's right there in front of you, waiting 4 you to take it. It won't come to you unless you make it move... And that's where prayer's gat your hand dear... U need prayer to take/claim/possess/ collect/pick/grab...,
 *Don't be too shy to ask God as His own child. Matthew 7:7-12 Be you, just d way you'd ask something of your parents.
 * Blessed are God's children for their blessings will summon the grains of sand at the sea shore. * "I come to bring you good news and glad tidings" this is Jesus' message to u, to us. Nonetheless, you and i were not meant to suffer. We are meant to enjoy God's grace, and blessings here on earth and eternally with him in His kingdom. God loves us, Why do we suffer? Why does he allow Bad things happen to us and our environment? What is God's purpose for us when we suffer?
 * the popular John 3:16 is so much of an account for us to never doubt God's love for us. "for God so loved the world (you and i) that He sent his only beloved son that we should believe in him and have everlasting life" John 3:16
 * Now we suffer for some reasons, either to;
¤ put us in mind of d dangers of d world
¤ take us away from pleasure for a time
¤ and mostly to draw us closest to God.
For it is when we go through fire and survive for then we can say we are children of the Almighty. It is not easy to go through pain and suffering but when you come out of it, you know that you were tested and you manifested. Joseph in the bible is an instance. The Israelites are also suitable instances. Each suffering, pain or defeat they encountered, they learnt and they got even closer to God and became stronger. Sometimes we tend to forget this God of ours when we have become blessed. God who was our priority in times of nothing becomes our alternative in plenty. God does not want us to b like dis to him, plus he foresees our future and even when we neglect him in plenty, he still tries to help us come out of trouble. God does not cause sufferings at least not all d time, he only allows it. When you leave God's presence and protection, you become vulnerable and the enemy attacks. Two things happens;
1. You are no longer under his protection since he has become your alternative instead of your king and father.
2. You did not even bother to seek his guidance and protection, you feel you can probably handle life. U forget easily that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in high places.
 So, God allows these bad things happen to us and our community and environment believing that we would call on him and be bold enough to take up the mantle of the warrior Christian he wants us to become. He wants us to wield our weapons (the bible and prayer) all by ourselves and fight the good fight of faith. He wants us to make the attempt to struggle in his name even when we are weak. He wants us to fulfil our destinies with our own hands with him as our helper and provider. All these are some of the purposes for allowing us suffer. For this will only make us stronger. Shortly in the next post, the story will highlight what was just stated here...


 God loves you..
