TODAY'S RHEMA 1 Peter 1:7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Since childhood, Ronald liked the superhero characters he watched on television. He was filled with admiration as he watched how the heroes defeated their great enemies with extraordinary powers. When he turned six, his parents had a birthday party in his honor and invited a group of young actors who often performed superhero shows. Seeing how they act to defend the truth and defeat the enemy, Ronald was even more amazed. When the show ended, he started towards them and asked how he can be a brave hero. One of the superhero characters replied, "Little boy, you have such noble dreams. But you must know, being a hero is not easy. First, you must not neglect your study because smart people will always be able to find a way out to emerge winners. You should also pay attention to your health, eating healthy foods and regular exercise. If you are sick, you will not be able to protect others, will you? "
When we hear some names like Paul in the Bible, Smith Wigglesworth, and some other spiritual giants, we are amazed and long for God to use us like them. However, to experience the mighty move of God through us as He did through them, we must give our all to God and be totally yielded and sold out to Him.
God also wants his children's faith to become stronger day by day. That is why He processes us through the various challenges of life. Like gold, before it becomes a precious metal, it must be burned and separated from dirt or other alloys. The higher the temperature used to purify, the more pure gold is produced. The greater the process, the greater the faith becomes. Obey, believe, and endure the process under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He's the One who will lead us from faith to faith so that each of us grows into a powerful spiritual giant ready to be used by God to birth great miracles and wonders in these end time.
