The calamities of living with Christ!

“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.” Hebrews 10:31

Walking with Christ is not easy. You and I are accountable to Jesus for our every action. And, God gets our attention through the trials of life.

Many times the adversity comes at the hand of God and is not provoked by your actions. As a believer, God has one single minded goal in your life. He wants you to live by faith without fear or doubt when the storm clouds come into your life.

Faith is believing and living in the promises of God when your life is falling apart. 

Faith is seeking God out for your every need. Most believers have a tendency to stray away from God when troubles come their way. They blame God for failing them when His ways are perfect.

You have been baptized into the death and resurrected life of Christ. Don’t be surprised when adversity comes into your life. It is ordained by God just like the pandemic we are all dealing with today.

The afflictions in your life are a mirror image of what Jesus faced living on this earth. You can become an overcomer by drawing upon the resurrected life of Christ.

Here is how you can you deal with the adversities of life and live at peace with God?

Praise God at all times.

Ask Jesus to cover you with His blood.

Come to God with an open heart to the conviction of the Spirit of Christ.

Pray diligently seeking His counsel for your life.

Meditate on the truths of God.

Forgive God for His actions which seem unjust and forgive those who have hurt you. If you don’t forgive God will not forgive you.

Listen for the voice of God.

Ask for the unlimited strength of Christ.

Remember, the battle is not yours. It belongs to the Lord. Cast your burdens upon the Lord and He will sustain you with His life.

Rest in the work of Christ and cease from striving.

All things work for the good for those who love God and are called according to His purposes. This does not mean that all things are good in your life but God takes your sin and the adversities of life to create His character within you.

Where sin abounds grace abounds more. This is the nature of our loving and compassionate God.

He lives so you can live even in the most dire moments of life!
