Why do I suffer? đ€
Is it because of my sins? đ
Or is it because I'm bewitched? đ€
Let's see to this questions........
First of all, lemme remind us that God uses every seasons to train his children. So people that lack substances, it doesn't mean God has forsaken you, someone has bewitched you or you're passing through those challenges because of your sins.
Don't quote me wrong, there are times people as well suffer for their mistakes or sin, but the theory should not be the focus or conclusion of why we suffer, and fail to see what God uses suffering to achieve in our lives.
Jesus himself told us that so far as we're in this world, we'll face troubles of many kinds. Consider this characters in the Bible. David, Joseph, etc, and our early days Apostles. They all went through the sufferings of life but God saw them through cause they looked up to him for help. Now who do you look up to?
God, man or yourself? Who you look up to matters and determines how the end will be.
But suffering will either make or break you based on your definition of who is poor, what success or suffering is. When not seen in God's light view or perspective, the situation may grow worse.
But to broaden our view, lemme remind us that there are stages or different kinds of poverty or sufferings.
Spiritual poverty
Physical poverty
Poverty of the mind
Etc.
All of this sufferings are tagged as poverty in one way or the other, cause poverty in it's definition means, the state of lacking something.
Whether you're rich or poor as to say, you'll never escape all of this sufferings at the same time. The Holy Spirit only helps to comfort you in all this times by encouraging you that God still loves and g*t you, and this is even why you need to accept Jesus today if you haven't, so his spirit will dwell in you to help you in all difficulties.
Looking into the modern day theology of our Churches, I wonder where and who thought them that as a Christian or a child of God, you don't have to suffer or pass through challenges.
The Lord Jesus only assured us of his help and assistance through the spirit at this times. Remember that people were persecuted, went to prison, starved to death, beheaded, etc., just so we could have the gospel, and today we're choosing the part to accept.
Jesus said, if any would follow me, let him deny himself and carry his cross. But the question is, what have I given up myself to suffer for?
This sayings won't be true to those believers who only like claiming only yes and amen and not see that we still have unfinished battles to fight. The devil still hunts us and we're not to relent, else we might have all the pleasures of life and forget about the battles on ground cause we've become so full to think beyond what is before our table. God deny us certain pleasures so we don't get too full and wander from his consciousness, so most sufferings are God's call, it depends if you would want to figure it out or not. Apostle Paul had a thorn in his flesh, but that was to keep him in course of his call.
You only have to do a proper evaluation and examination of yourself to trace the root cause of your suffering, then you do something about it. Know that this article is just a brief help or tip to clear the perception of why we suffer in different ways. I have more to say to this but time and strength to type won't permit me to, and I also don't want to bored you with lengthy reading.
