No Test, No Testimonies.

  And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. 

Job  2:6 

Beloved, many times we think of the challenge of the saints and ask ourselves, questions like, is God aware of the storms in the life of saints? and even ask, why did God permit storms in the live of saints?
Beloved, God knows about storms and challenges of our live, and He permitted it for reasons. The Psalmist says, "Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he..."(Psalms 135:6). Meaning, we can't face anything in life without the consent of God. An adage says "the higher you grow the tougher your test and temptation" let's have this in our mind, "No TEST, No TESTIMONIES" our challenges is to build us up not to pull us down. every ladder of glorification has strung of challenges, the more you conquer the higher you go.
It took God to lead Joseph through slavery in other to train Him up for his glorification.
It took God to lead David through 20 years of training under Saul's pressure and attacks (after receiving anointing) before God could finally handover the kingdom into His hand.
Therefore beloved, don't think you can't overcome the stormy moment, inasmuch there is God on your side, you have your victory with you. You can't die in the storm, but it'll build up grace of God in you, only if you let God work through it. And then you will have mouth to sing "The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death", for our present light afflictions can't be compare to the awaiting glory ahead of us.
No labour, no rest. Keep moving!

I declare your days of rest to begin now in the name Jesus.

Shalom
