HOW TO DEAL WITH AFFLICTION
cKJV+ 2Cor 4:17-18: "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceedingly and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
The word of God does not promise us a trouble-free journey into heaven, being born again does not automatically remove affliction in our lives, however, it changes our perspective of the troubles.
The word AFFLICTION in our opening scripture means any form of trouble, persecution, pressure, straights and distress. As long as we are on earth these will be a part of our existence. Nevertheless our perspective and approach towards them has forever been changed. Hallelujah!
Firstly, it does not matter what we face in terms of affliction we consider them to be light, which means easy. There is no trouble that we will ever consider as hard, they are all easy and light.
Secondly, every affliction that comes is temporary, meaning it's short lived and fast passing away.
Thirdly, every affliction, no matter what it is, has an assignment to produce bigger and heavier glory for us. No trouble is ever a waste, they all serve a purpose for greater glory. Praise God!
Now finally when these afflictions come our greatest strength is our wisdom and ability to look away from the troubles, looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith. The scripture says while we look not at the things that are seen but at the unseen. Those who focus on their problems will be killed by those problems. Our approach is different, our focus is different, that is what makes us winners all the time. Glory to God Hallelujah

My afflictions are easy and light
Regardless of what they are.

All things are working together for my good
