Speaker 1: Belong to you, all, our fellow brothers and sisters in
Speaker 1: the Lord. This is Radio ACI today of the Harvest
Speaker 1: Chapel International Commercy. We are glad to have you join
Speaker 1: us for today's morning glory devotion. This is Pastor Daniel
Speaker 1: ab and with me is my wife, Digness Felicia. It's
Speaker 1: our desire that God will reveal his infallible wisdom to
Speaker 1: us as we spend this time together in Jesus Mighty Name.
Speaker 1: Please let's share with a prayer. Father, we give you
Speaker 1: praise and we thank you for our lives. This morning.
Speaker 1: We thank you for giving us strength and health. We
Speaker 1: thank you for this opportunity to look into your wed
Speaker 1: together were that you reveal your counsel to us, teach
Speaker 1: us of your ways and help us to work in
Speaker 1: your word all the days of our lives. In Jesus
Speaker 1: Mighty Name, will have prayed. Amen, beloved. We want to
Speaker 1: take our confession together from Joshua chapter one, verse eight.
Speaker 1: Joshua one eight. This book of the Law shall not
Speaker 1: be parted out of my mouth, but I shall meditate
Speaker 1: in it day and night, that I may observe to
Speaker 1: do according to all that is written in it. For
Speaker 1: then I will make my way prosperous, and then I
Speaker 1: will have good success. Amen, Beloved. The topic for today's
Speaker 1: devotion is endurance endurance, and our texts will be taken
Speaker 1: from James chapter one, verse one through aid. I'll be
Speaker 1: reading from the New English translation James chapter one from James,
Speaker 1: a Slave of God and the Lord Jesus Christ to
Speaker 1: the twelve Tribes dispersed abroad. Greetings, my brothers and sisters,
Speaker 1: consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all
Speaker 1: sorts of trials, because you know that the testing of
Speaker 1: your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect effect,
Speaker 1: so that you will be perfect and complete, not deficient
Speaker 1: in anything. But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he
Speaker 1: should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand,
Speaker 1: and it will be given to him. But he must
Speaker 1: ask in faith without doubt. For the one who doubts
Speaker 1: is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed
Speaker 1: around by the wind. For that person must not suppose
Speaker 1: that he will receive anything from the Lord, since he
Speaker 1: is a double minded individual or stable in all his ways. Beloved,
Speaker 1: Here ends the reading of the Word of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Thanks be to God.
Speaker 2: Endurance endurance, Beloved, The Bible draws her attention to the
Speaker 2: truth that it is not only in ethnic games that
Speaker 2: endurance is needed or necessary. The Christian work is one
Speaker 2: that demands or thrives so much on endurance. In our
Speaker 2: Christian work, however, we do not necessarily thrive on physical endurance,
Speaker 2: but spiritual endurance otherwise known as inner strength. It is
Speaker 2: not an easy journey at all. We need all the
Speaker 2: tenicity we can amass to go on and finish the
Speaker 2: journey in the set time God permits for us without
Speaker 2: quitting or performing at Basmally, the whole goal of building
Speaker 2: endurance is so we will last the duration of our
Speaker 2: lives without breaking. Endurance makes us tough enough to go
Speaker 2: through all the changing scenes of life, still exhibiting christ likeness,
Speaker 2: making impact as gods ambassades, and borrowing out of earth
Speaker 2: having fulfilled papers. Beloved. If durance is this important to
Speaker 2: our Christian work, then how do we build endurance? Our
Speaker 2: God and Father, like my football coach, knows what is
Speaker 2: best for us and makes the initiative to help us
Speaker 2: acquire this all important asset. How does he do this?
Speaker 2: James One, Verse three reveals that our Father in Heaven
Speaker 2: allows and orchestras the testing of our faith through diverse
Speaker 2: challenges of life. Overcoming the challenges builds our spiritual muscles
Speaker 2: and produce the desired endurance. The challenges also give our
Speaker 2: endurance the opportunity to grow or mature. When endurance have
Speaker 2: had its intended effect, we become perfect and complete, not
Speaker 2: deficient in anything. We become resilient, tough, patient, and exhibit
Speaker 2: the fruit of the spirit at all times, the fruit
Speaker 2: of love, patience, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
Speaker 2: self control, as stated in Galicious chapter five is twenty two.
Speaker 2: That is, when we are able to face all that
Speaker 2: comes our way as we journey here on it and
Speaker 2: still stand, being examples to others and making it to
Speaker 2: our ultimate destination Heaven. Not bowing to the pressures of
Speaker 2: this life, nor switching. Comes from the lost camp to
Speaker 2: that of the devil, to dine with him in the
Speaker 2: face of the difficulties of life. Like the footballer who
Speaker 2: has built with endurance, you will play full time, excelling
Speaker 2: in whatever role. Our coach as science to win the
Speaker 2: match at the end of the day. So Beloved challenges
Speaker 2: her to ask what training is to the sportsmen, we
Speaker 2: need not avoid them. Doing so is to leave our
Speaker 2: faith on proving, giving no opportunity for endurance to mature,
Speaker 2: and robbing us of being perfect and complete to face
Speaker 2: the changing scenes of this life to the end. Amen,
Speaker 2: Please let's take our memory verse together. Today's memory verse
Speaker 2: is taken from James Chapter one, vest they reading from
Speaker 2: the Nalty version. For you know that when your faith
Speaker 2: is testing, your endurance has a chance to grow. James
Speaker 2: Chapter one, verse three. For you know that when your
Speaker 2: faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. Please,
Speaker 2: let's bow our heads for a word of prayer. Further,
Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this
Speaker 2: word that has come to us this morning, for the
Speaker 2: clarity that comes to us that even in the face
Speaker 2: of challenges of God as a coach as our father,
Speaker 2: it is for a purpose, so that our endurance will
Speaker 2: have a chance to grow, making us perfect to be
Speaker 2: able to stand all the changing scenes of this life. Papa,
Speaker 2: it is our prayer that this morning you give us
Speaker 2: every grace that we need, that in the face of
Speaker 2: challenges we do not bow out or find all tenationive roots,
Speaker 2: but endeal so that we become the perfect people you
Speaker 2: have destined us to be. We think you will. Bless
Speaker 2: you in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen.
Speaker 1: Beloved. Indeed, challenges give end around the opportunity to grow,
Speaker 1: so you must not avoid them at all, because doing
Speaker 1: so is to become immature in your work of faith.
Speaker 1: I pray that God will grant us grace to face
Speaker 1: and endure through all of life challenges, and may he
Speaker 1: find us faithful even to the end in Jesus' mighty name.
Speaker 1: Amen and Amen, Precious one. We are still on our
Speaker 1: end of month three day first, which is ending today.
Speaker 1: Please don't be left out. Do well to join the
Speaker 1: midday prayers at WLK nooon and the Solution Center. The
Speaker 1: prayer serve it as six pm. Make sure you keep
Speaker 1: your focal right here on Radio ACI today so you
Speaker 1: can maintain a spiritful day. Also, try to introduce a
Speaker 1: platform to your friends and family members so they would
Speaker 1: also get spiritually nourished. So we'll come your way again
Speaker 1: same time tomorrow. Please stay blessed and have a fruitful day.
Speaker 1: Amen and Amen.
