Rember this warning from Jesus;"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.(Mat 24:23-24)"

Why Me?As the times draws nearer to the coming of Christ, we see many things happening around the world. Floods, Fires, Wars and conflicts everywhere.
The lost are not the only ones suffering in these changes, the saved are also being pounded by the events. Many a Christian are suffering around the world, and the question most ask is, why me.
When I had my first heart attack in 1999, I was in great pain, I cried out to the Lord and asked; “Why Me!” and the simplest answer I was to receive was, “Why Not?”
The Lord brought back the scriptures to me, and I understood.
Please read this verse very carefully; 2Co 8:2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
SUFFER; To feel or undergo pain of body or mind; to bear what is inconvenient. We suffer with pain, sickness or sorrow. We suffer with anxiety. We suffer by evils past and by anticipating others to come. We suffer from fear and from disappointed hopes.(Webster.)
God had shown me that as a Christian, a believer in His Son Jesus, I would also suffer, not only threw persecution of spirit, but also in the flesh. God reminded me that His Son suffered great terrible pain for us, for He was also in the flesh.
Today we see famine, floods, earthquakes, and murder abound. These thing must come to pass, and the Christian is also in the world, but not of the world.
Jesus never promised us that being a follower of Him would be easy, but rather, He told us that He suffered and we would also suffer.
Sickness is a part of the human nature. When an unbeliever is ill, he has no one to turn to except the doctors, but when a believer is ill, he has the power of prayer, the church elders to call upon, the congregation of the entire church body, and also the doctors.
Php 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Are you in need? Does it seam that everyone around has plenty and you have very little? Then call upon the Father and ask Him that His will be done upon your life.
Many times we are held down, or should I say, allowed to be poor, for the simple reason, that we are a light to the world, and the poor man would be more inclined to hear testimony from another poor man, to ask the reason why, that you have so much faith in Jesus.
For even the apostle Paul stated that, he must be all things to all men that by some means, he might win some, poor to the poor, rich to the rich, and unlearned to the unlearned.
If you can Glorify the Father with little, then how much more would you be able to glorify Him as a wealthy man, for the perfect praise comes from a child, so we must approach Him as a Child, being content with the way we are.
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. We have, and will, suffer many things in this life, for the Bible states that the rain comes down on the righteous and the unrighteous. So the earthquake, floods, fires, and illness will also come down to all. We are all the seed of Adam and the heir to the promise to Abraham, for we are part of the happenings upon this earth. Why do you feel that God allows you to suffer needlessly?
For you are not better than the Master but as an equal to Him. “It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord.” Did not our Lord, feel cold and heat, disappointment and anguish?
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
It is tempting to some, when these things come upon them, to turn away from Christ and seek aid elsewhere, this is the truth for the Bible tells us so. “But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.” (Mat 13:20-21)
Being rooted, and grounded, in the word of God gives us an advantage over the world, for we know that nothing happens to a Christian, unless it be the will of God concerning them. We must believe in the redemptive, and saving power of our Lord.
Many today are suffering from floods and famine, but there will not be more placed upon a Christian, that he cannot bear.
2Ti 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
When we suffer poverty, Jesus is with us, when we suffer floods, Jesus is with us, when we suffer homelessness, Jesus is with us, so why would you despair? And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.1Co 12:26
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. (Heb 13:3.)
We are all one body, one church, and one fellowship.
When a brother suffers, we all must suffer with him, when a brother is homeless, we grieve with him, when a brother is naked, we cloth him, and when he hungers, we feed him. We do all these things, not to receive a reward, but rather to keep the whole body together. For the eye is no greater than the arm, and the leg is no better than the ear, for each part of the body must stand together or the body will fall. If we have no food to give, no cloths to share, we pray together, so that the Father will hear our prayers, as a unit of brothers under Christ.
The Father is our source and supply.
Where do you receive cloths, to cloth the naked, the food to feed the hungry, and the will to believe?
It all comes from The Father.
Why do you believe that Christ commanded the disciples to be as one?
For when brothers and sisters in Christ come together as one, there is strength and power. We can suffer persecution better, when another brother is there to stand with us.
We can suffer, floods, hunger, homelessness, and nakedness, when we stand together, Suffer with those that suffer and rejoice when a brother is honored.
When we have nothing to give, call upon the Lord, if we are in need, call upon the Lord, when we are in despair, call upon the Lord, and when we feel, that we are alone, call upon the Lord.
Jesus died for our sins, do you not think that He, being our Saviour, is able to keep what He has paid a great price for? Do you believe that He would allow persecution, floods, famine or illness, to separate us from Him? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (Rom 8:35.) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Be one together my brothers, and sister, for the Lord is with us all in these end days, He is always with you. Be one together. Ars.
