Revelation of the Word:

THEME: ENDURANCE

Hebrews 10:36 NIV

“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”

INSIGHT

-Apostle Paul exhorts the Hebrew church regarding endurance through reproach, afflictions and fiery trials, that yield a reward of eternal life through faith. He emphasizes on the need to preserve through confidence in maintaining patience. God cautions us from casting away our confidence for we have need of His grace, which we must maintain in order to carry back our reward.

SUMMARY

Endurance is the ability to preserver an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way. James 1:12-17 reminds us that those who endure trials are blessed and when they have stood the test of time they will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 reprimands anyone who thinks he stands that he should take heed lest he falls. God is faithful to allow us the grace to bear trials and make a way to escape. Romans 15:5-6 reminds us of God’s favor allowing us to endure temptations and encourage one another just like Job received was edified by his friends. God assures us of His love that endures forever (Psalms 106:1-3), for He gave us His Son to become a propitiation for our sins and has redeemed us by His blood.

PRAYER

Loving Abba Father we worship You and bless Your holy name. We exult You and worship You. We thank You for presenting Your beloved Son Jesus Christ as a sacrifice of atonement through the shedding of His blood in His forbearance for our sins. How Great are Your deeds and works in all the nations of the world. How Great is Your name in all the heavens and the earth. Where we have sinned dear Savior may You forgive us dear merciful Jesus we humbly beseech You. May You fill us with the grace of endurance that we may overcome every temptation that comes our way. Lord may You do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask of or think of according to the power that is at work in us. Lord we trust in You and exalt You. We believe that You are able to do more than we can think of or imagine. We believe that we shall be extremely fruitful since we abide in You and You in us. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in Your house forever. May You bless us and keep us loving Father, may You shine Your face upon us and be gracious to us. May You lift up Your countenance towards us and give us peace. Amen

Blessed Weekend
