THE STRENGTH OF OUR FAITH IS TO BE MEASURED BY OUR LOVE FOR OTHERS.
THE CALLED AND ANOINTED:
THE STRENGTH OF OUR FAITH AND THE LEVEL OF OUR SPIRITUAL ANOINTMENTS ARE NOT MEASURED BY WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO IN THE FLESH, OR MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF OUR ENEMIES THAT HAD BEEN CRUSHED BY THE POWER OF OUR FIERY TONGUES.
BUT THE STRENGTH OF OUR FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS TO BE MEASURED BY HOW WE ARE ABLE TO WEATHER THE STORM WHEN CONFRONTED WITH TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS. (PSALM, 28:-6-8)
OUR LOVE FOR OUR NEIGHBORS AS CHRISTIANS IS TO BE MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HELP IN GETTING BACK TO THEIR FEET AFTER BEING KNOCKED DOWN BY TRIBULATION. (GAL 6:-2)
MORE SO, THE STRENGTH OF OUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS TO BE MEASURED BY HOW WE ENDURE AND TOLERATE OTHERS THAT ARE WEAK IN SPIRIT.
ROMANS, 15:-1-2 “WE THEN THAT ARE STRONG OUGHT TO BEAR THE WEAKNESS OF THE WEAK, AND NOT TO PLEASE OURSELVES. LET EVERY ONE OF US PLEASE HIS NEIGHBOR FOR HIS GOOD TO EDIFICATION.”
IN CONCLUSION: AND AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, THE GOD OF ALL GRACE WHO HAS CALLED YOU TO HIS ETERNAL GLORY IN CHRIST, WILL HIMSELF RESTORE, CONFIRM, STRENGTHEN, AND ESTABLISH YOU.” AMEN.
