Text: 1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Message
God said in His word that He will not test us more than our ability (1Corith 10:13)..

However, you might wonder why do i need God to test me,? In this our earth realm, no manufacturer will place it's goods out without first making it pass through the testing stage then it will be certified, so also before God can announce and boldly call you His sons and daughters, you must pass your test.

Abraham, had to pass through a great test before God could make him Father of many nations and it was through him God said He will bless the family of earth (Act 3:25, Genesis 22;18) and all this came to fulfilment because He didn't fail God.

Job also was tested infact his own was greater but he didn't deny God.

Jesus Christ also was tested by the devil (Mathew 4), he had the understanding of who he was so he was calm and he scaled through

All of the personalities in the examples above were tested for just a while, please note that God said He won't test us beyond our ability. What now happens if it is beyond a while as opposed to what was said by God? Then it is not from God but from the devil.. what then do I need to do when it is not from God, then it is time to pray and rebuke the devil.

Action point: If your suffering is beyond a while then you need to pray!!

Prayer point: Father I arrest every satanic manipulation in Jesus name.
