Suffering

Suffering is not a privilege unless it is done for Jesus. The early apostles were counted as worthy to suffer to Jesus (Acts 5 : 41) Jesus suffered so that we could be saved.

As we suffered for the cause of Christ and His works, we help to inspire others to live faithfully in adversity. At the same time we show to others our genuine faith.       

Let us ask God to  make us courageous. Ask God to help us to be faithful in times of trouble and strong in times of persecution, hardship, and suffering.

Most important of all, always share our experience and testimony so that God can be glorified.

Philippians 1:29   

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him
