A DEEPER WOUNDS PRODUCES DEEPER JOY
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, peace be with you all, today too has been a blessful day and let us share what I have for you.
Jesus had seen the worst in life. He suffered the pain in flesh. Bible records in the book of
Mark 15:16-20
"And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Prætorium; and they call together the whole band."
"And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;"
"and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!"
"And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him."
"And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him."
Jesus experienced the greatest toil on earth. Imagine son of God being beaten, spat upon and mocked. The worst of all is that they paltered a crown of thorns. How do we feel for Jesus that vinegar was given to him instead of water.
Now consider the nails in the palm, feet and also hanged on the cross. It was not easy but it was worthy. Jesus went through all these pains to release us from bondage of the old law.
Aside this, He had a promise from the Father. He did all these because He knew that He shall be glorified at the end. Christ is the best example ever to learn from.
We ought to look into Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. He knew the joy that was set before him. Hence He endured the cross, despising the shame. Now do you know where the redeemer is sited....?
He is set at the right hand of the throne of God. Because of the endurance He had, His name has been exalted above any other name. At the mentioning of His name every knee must bow.
Can you endure the pain you are going through to release your joy.....
Pray with me : Lord, help me to endure every pain I am going through in Jesus name Amen

Hello! I find your post valuable for the wafrica community! Thanks for the great post! @wafrica is now following you! ALWAYs follow @wafrica and use the wafrica tag!
Indeed, your breakthrough been delayed doesn't mean it won't come, as a matter of fact success is well enjoyed and celebrated after one has gone through those pains, thanks for the encouragement brother Sam
Whatever we go through will definitely lead to God's glory. Jesus went through everything for you amd I and in the end led his glory. The pain we are going through is nothing to be compared to the glory to be revealed. Thanks for this inspirational message... @bigssam
In the school of power pain is normal, IN the Christian walk, it not all about joy but we tribulations, Jesus said anyone who will follow me should carry his cross, and after carrying your cross there is after joy.
It was a worthy course, Jesus has promised us a crown after we have been despised for His sake. No matter what we are going through as Christians, bare it in mind that it's for the best.
