Topic : *Benefits of Suffering*
*Bible Verse* : Isaiah 53:11 (NIV) _"After He has suffered, He will see the light of life and be satisfied; by His knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities"_
*Message* : All of us have gone through sufferings some we hate some we are fine with because they yielded benefits like wealth, property, position or knowledge. If our sufferings are in God through Jesus Christ they have greater rewards (Matthew 5:11,12 & Romans 8 :18). If we are not at fault but suffered for Obeying God's Word & His Will then it's in Christ & the benefit is huge (1Peter 2:19-23). Secondly, what benefits were found in sufferings of Jesus? There are many one of them is He is able & willing to help anyone who suffer or tempted (Hebrews 2:18). Finally, what is our benefit when we suffer in Christ? If we patiently endure the trials & temptations that test our faith , then it leads to salvation of our own souls (1Peter 1:6,7 & James 1:2-4). If we patiently endure pain or sufferings for obeying God's Word & His Will that leads to testimony, blessing of others & salvation of many souls (Philippians 1:12-14, 19-20 & John 16: 20-22). God bless you .
*Prayer* : Dear Lord thank you for the blessing behind suffering. Let our sufferings be in Christ . Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
