Why Does God’s Favor Bring Trouble?

Why Does God’s Favor Bring Trouble? Introduction Many believers wonder why being favored by God doesn’t guarantee an easy, trouble-free life. The Bible shows us that God’s favor often comes with trials, challenges, and even opposition. Today, we will explore three reasons why God’s favor brings trouble: Testing Strengthens Us The Enemy Attacks Those with Purpose Glory Comes After Suffering Let’s dive into these truths and see how our struggles prepare us for greater blessings. 1. Testing Strengthens Us Scripture Reference: James 1:2-3 – “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” Explanation: God uses trials to refine us. Just as a sword is sharpened by the fire, our faith is strengthened through challenges. Think of Joseph, who, despite being favored by God through his dreams, faced betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment before he was exalted. His trials p...

जब परमेश्वर की कृपा कठिनाइयाँ लाती है

  जब परमेश्वर की कृपा कठिनाइयाँ लाती है 📖 लूका 1:28 – "हे अनुग्रह प्राप्त करनेवाली, जय हो! प्रभु तेरे साथ है।" परिचय अक्सर लोग सोचते हैं कि जब परमेश्वर किसी को अनुग्रह या कृपा देता है, तो उसका जीवन आसान हो जाएगा। लेकिन बाइबल हमें दिखाती है कि परमेश्वर की कृपा अक्सर कठिनाइयाँ और परीक्षाएँ लेकर आती है , और इन चुनौतियों के बाद ही आशीष और बढ़ोतरी आती है। आज हम कुछ महान बाइबल पात्रों के जीवन को देखेंगे – मरियम, यूसुफ, मूसा और स्वयं प्रभु यीशु – जो परमेश्वर के अनुग्रह से भरे थे, लेकिन उन्हें कठिन संघर्षों से गुजरना पड़ा। 1. मरियम: परमेश्वर की कृपा से आया अपमान और संघर्ष 📖 लूका 1:28 – "हे अनुग्रह प्राप्त करनेवाली, जय हो! प्रभु तेरे साथ है।" 🔹 स्वर्गदूत ने मरियम को बताया कि वह परमेश्वर की कृपा से भरी हुई है। लेकिन यह कृपा उसके लिए आसान नहीं थी: वह कुँवारी थी और गर्भवती हो गई – यह उसे समाज में अपमानित कर सकता था। यूसुफ ने उसे छोड़ने की योजना बनाई (मत्ती 1:19)। हेरोद राजा से बचने के लिए उसे मिस्र भागना पड़ा (मत्ती 2:13-14)। ✅ सबक: कभी-कभी परमेश्वर की कृ...

WHEN GOD’S FAVOR BRINGS CHALLENGES 📖 Luke 1:28 – "Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" INTRODUCTION Many people think that when God favors someone, their life will become easy. But the Bible shows that God’s favor often brings challenges before blessings are fully revealed . Today, we will look at the lives of those who were favored by God yet faced great struggles—Mary, Joseph, Moses, and even Jesus Himself. 1. MARY: GOD’S FAVOR BROUGHT MISUNDERSTANDING 📖 Luke 1:28 – "O favored one, the Lord is with you!" 🔹 Mary was highly favored, yet this favor led to hardships : She was an unmarried virgin, yet pregnant —a situation that could bring shame and rejection. Joseph planned to leave her quietly (Matthew 1:19). She had to flee to Egypt to protect baby Jesus (Matthew 2:13-14). ✅ Lesson: Sometimes, God’s favor places us in difficult situations , but He is always with us. 2. JOSEPH: GOD’S FAVOR BROUGHT BETRAYAL 📖 Genesis 39:21 – ...
