There are times we preach the gospel but we preach it to harm people, especially new converts.
Preaching to people and telling them words like "if you accept Jesus, you won't have a problem," "when you come to Christ you will be rich, you can't be broke, you can't be sick, He will give you child" and the likes.
Sir and ma, let's put a stop to it, preach to them truthfully, and let them know what they are signing up or putting in for.
Let me tell you and listen good, there will be trouble, there will be problems, there will be sorrow, there are seasons you will not bear fruit, there are days of pruning, there are days of weeping, they are days of lamenting, there are days you will feel down and unease, and lots more. But this is where the difference and assurance is, "those period and season does not last", those seasons are like night and day. The night will not stay forever, it will take its leave and morning will come, dry season will not stay forever, it will go when it's time. The longest season of dry season we have in the bible is 7 years (I stand to be corrected), thereafter, days of plenty came.
The Psalmist said, "Cry may tarry all night, joy comes in the morning." Let not my word scare you, let it not discourage you, let it not stop you from deciding to believe in Christ and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. Let it be a foundation for your faith, a monument for the assurance of your salvation, let it make you come to the understanding that "come rain come shine, only God matters."
Enjoy the grace of God as you trust in Him with all your might. He loves you and He won't deny you. Enjoy His words from John 16.
John 16:20 Truly, truly, I say to you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
