Most people make a mistake or fall into misconception when they face tribulations or hardships. There are those who seek help from others in order to solve their problems. There are even people who commit suicide. On the contrary, Paul received God’s comfort amidst tribulations and confessed that He praised God even more. Tribulations and disasters are blessings for children of God who are saved, but they’re destruction for children of the Devil who aren’t saved. John 8:44 The definition of “test” can be divided into two meanings: temptation, where the Devil gives you trials to make you stumble, or a test that is given by God. Moreover, there is something you must firmly hold onto in times of tribulations. The reason why you’re facing these tribulations is because you have to save those who are also having the same hardships as you. That’s why you must first receive God’s comfort during these times so you can relay the answer to them. 2 Corinthians 1:4, 5, 7 God delivered you from great death, and because He will continue to save you 2 Corinthians 1:10 you must completely entrust this to God and pray, holding onto the covenant of hope.

1. The Reason Why You Mustn’t Fear Tribulations
Tribulations come due to not believing in God and being within constant fear and worries. Job 3:25, 1 John 4:18-19 In addition, Satan takes a foothold when you engage in fights, are enraged, and fall into worries. Ephesians 4:27 Therefore, you must entrust all worries to the Lord and accurately and firmly hold onto the covenant of God.

2. Tribulations are the Path to Hope and Blessings - The Path to World Evangelization
God used Moses when he held onto the covenant of the blood sacrifice in the age of slavery, and at the time, Moses age was 80. When Philistia was tormenting the Israelites, wars ceased to exist during the time Samuel, who held onto the covenant, was alive. Goliath was an opportunity to David, and the works of the Holy Spirit arose when those who held onto the covenant gathered in the direst circumstance.

3. The Path to Save the End Times During Tribulations
The Gospel will be relayed after the Gospel is preached to all nations. Matthew 24:14 Although the times of suffering during the end times will come, you must remain within what you learned and have been convinced of 2 Timothy 3:14-15 as you read, hear and take to heart the Words of the prophecy.

You must become the one who helps people through prayer. 2 Corinthians 1:11 Thus, those who know the mystery of prayer will change the world once they make a team that does 24, 25, and Eternity.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, I thank You who answers my prayers. I thank You for helping me realize that tribulations are Your comfort in disguise. May I truly become a comforter who saves those facing severe hardships In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.
