April 18, 2019 DCLM Daily Manna Devotional : Topic - Tribulation Before Triumph

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Topic - Tribulation Before Triumph 

Text: Acts 14:19-28 (KJV)
Key Verse: “And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:21,22).

MESSAGE:
A recruiting sergeant often slips a shilling into the hand of some ignorant youths, and tells them that military service is a fine thing, that he has nothing to do but walk about in his flaming colours, do parades, march pass and be involved in flamboyant ceremonies – that he will have no hard service; in fact, that he has nothing to do but to be a soldier, and go straight on to glory. When such youths eventually enlist in the army, they discover that life as a soldier is far from a bed of roses; that there are inconvenient exercises, hard battle to be fought and that there is a possibility of dying in service.
Paul the apostle, in the text, did not attempt to describe discipleship to the new converts by highlighting only the pleasantness and joy in Christ while shielding away the hard truths of tribulation and sorrow which often interjects the joy of the believer. Paul himself demonstrated remarkable courage by venturing into the very places where he had been persecuted and stoned. In the face of danger, he returned to encourage and console the converts that, “they must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God”.
There are times when ministers should not count their own lives dear unto them when they find themselves in the midst of danger; they must confide only in the protecting care of their God and Saviour.
As believer, though all things are apparently against you now, roll off your griefs, there is a saving clause. Somehow He will deliver you, and somewhere He will provide for you. And why not let the glory that shall be revealed after our tribulation be a source of consolation to you?
Thought For The Day: When God ordains, He sustains.
