TOPIC: SUFFERING: Self Afflicted Suffering (2)
MEMORY VERSE:
Romans 8:18
“18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Peter 4:15.
“15. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.”
Welcome to the continuation of the topic, Types of Sufferings. Yesterday we talked about Christian Suffering which we said has a reward from God. Today, our topic is Self Afflicted Suffering. Many are going through suffering as a result of their past life style, habit, attitude and behaviour. Pride, arrogance, smoking, immorality and many other habits as caused many persons suffering today. This type of suffering has no good reward but regret. Seeing that you’ve maltreated, cheated and frustrated others in time past brings some negative thought leading to suffering. But know this, God is in the work of restoration, He will turn the tide around for you if you will allow Him.
The way out of such suffering is to be truthful to oneself seek for God’s forgiveness, repent of your past way and come to God. Jesus said, In John 6:37.
37. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; And Him That Cometh To Me I Will In No Wise Cast Out.
Anyone who come to Jesus He will not cast away. Come to Him for a new beginning. If you are already back to Him turn away from that life style totally and seek the way of God. Only God can save you from self afflicted suffering. God bless you.
Good Day and God bless you.
