a chosen by God means someone selected for a special assignment often this set of people experience more pain and suffering than the average Christian which begs the question why there must be a reason why the people that God picks to do his will on Earth go through tough seasons in life in this video you will explore three major pointers as to why the chosen suffer the most and if you are one of them God God will bring you hope today he will strengthen you to be steadfast Until the End pay attention till the end as
we will say some prophetic prayers together before proceeding with this video if this is your first time on this channel please click the notification Bell this will enable you to get alerts for more inspiring content from this account it is an honor for God to send you on certain assignments God can single you out from many others so you can be a vessel through which he reaches out to the world Romans 8:30 and those he predestined he also called and those he called he also Justified and those he justified he also glorified as much as
it is a call to a great purpose it is also a demand of sacrifice you have to part ways with people and things you hold dear it also exposes you to circumstances that may seem like suffering however you must know that it is all for a reason let's consider a few of them the chosen suffer the most because God wants to fully prepare them for the journey ahead talk about Jesus going through fasting for 40 days and nights he endured Temptations and had to separate from his friends and family just to be alone in the
wilderness all of these were to help him gain strength if not there was no way that he would have been able to endure the pain of the cross for you yes he was God and he had all the abilities of God but he was also subjected to the limitations of the fleshly body he was in this means he also got tired frustrated and felt like almost giving up a course he had to go through that rigorous spiritual exercise to develop stamina against what was ahead how about David in 1 Samuel 16 he was an anointed
king but did not be become king until 20 years later you might wonder why God did not make him King immediately God knew that the responsibility he would take was a huge task he needed to separate David so he could teach train and equip him David had no role model remember Saul was the very first king of Israel but he failed God so God had to train David to become the desired King he wanted for his people the Bible did not record David as having any friends he also did not seem to get along with
his older siblings either he was mostly alone in the bush he spent time with his father's flock he depended on God to give him victory over the wild animals that came after his father's sheep he studied the behavior of lions and learned tricks to outsmart and make them his prey every time David defended his sheep against the lion he learned better how to protect the things and people of God the Bible mentioned David as a man of war I who was comely and prudent in matters David the next anointed king served King Saul he did
not consider himself the present King's Equal or Contender he always responded promptly whenever the king summoned him after he got anointed he still served as Saul's armor Bearer he would always play the harp for Saul when he became disturbed by evil spe Spirits God did not stop David from working under the king even though he was chosen for the throne he stayed there as a servant of Saul for a long time while still tending to his father's sheep you would have thought the story of David ended with Saul finding his predecessor worthy after all God
vetted him the anointing did not make Saul hand the throne over to David David spent most of his time running away from King Saul who sought to kill him the Young boy had to feel a state of helplessness the king gave the soldiers a word to find David this was how David went from being the chosen to running for survival he became an outcast in a land where he was to be a leader this was where he found himself in abdull he was alone and dejected he had no direction for his life at that point
you must think that when God makes you his choice things automattic atically become easy what then would you say of David his siblings did not have the same experiences as him they were highly esteemed and recognized in the land fought bravely with Saul in the Army and had a good life David on the other hand was not regarded even in his house he was a loner in the bush his companions were the Sheep he tended to his brother eliab despised him and even called him proud when he talked against the Ines nobody believed in David
yet he had to go through that process for a reason there are so many lessons to draw from the life of David the Journey of the chosen at the onset is a lonely path God doesn't choose everyone he picks just a few but takes them through a pruning process all the things that David went through made him ready to be a better King than Saul was he was a king who listened to God whenever he aired he realized his error he knew how to quickly run back to God this was why God could call him
a man after my heart he had previously learned to put his trust in God in the face of the lion and bear and he knew the Amore of Saul was not his guarantee of Victory against Goliath while alone in the wilderness he made God His companion so he knew how to always inquire of God he never made any decisions without asking God this was where he understood when to retreat from the enemy at certain times and how to pursue and reclaim what was his interestingly David never fought any battle in his reign as king what
wisdom did he employ he did not even have the measure of wisdom Solomon had yet he kept peace in his Reign all the bad experiences that he encountered were not accidental it was for the making of an excellent King from the story you can see that his siblings did not have it as hard as he did that was because they were not chosen for a great assignment as David just like David God takes his chosen ones through events that serve as a window of preparation for what is ahead number two he wants you fully refined
another reason God lets the people he has chosen go through uncomfortable situations is to refine them a material in its raw State might not benefit much in terms of its application until it goes through some level of processing a tree in the woods will not be of so much Advantage but suppose you look at the same tree after it is cut down and exposed to several conditions in that case it becomes a pencil a notebook chairs tables several kitchen utensils of wooden nature and artifacts all these from just that tree this is the same thing
God seeks to do do with people he elects for several duties he takes them through situations that may a like pressure but in reality bring out the treasure in them if you are not exposed to pressure certain qualities will not come out of your life it is similar to the refining process of crude oil crude oil at different temperatures delivers a useful resource like diesel car fuel and many others it is under intense pressure and temperature that you can get the best no not in your comfort zone or raw State everyone that God picked to
do special works in the Bible underwent some form of refining Moses was born when poor prohibited the birth of male children from the Hebrew women in a plaque to save him Moses found himself in the house of pto's daughter who raised him as her child it was strategic God put him in a place where he had to watch his fellow Hebrew tribe get mistreated and endure hardship to develop compassion and understand the gravity of his assignment this was why Moses ran away when God first told him what he wanted of him but later on he
could not refuse the call because he understood the pain of his people the process he went through made him lead the children of Israel with so much compassion his love for God's people led him to spend several days in the wilderness with God there he was interceding not for himself but for the Israelites it takes an immense love for people to do what Moses did this love was not ordinary because our human nature is selfish God made Moses pass through all that so he could be a better leader for the Israelis how about Joseph he
was his father's favorite child and God gave him many dreams of being in a leadership position you would think the next place he would find himself was the palace his next stop was a phase of jealousy and betrayal by his brothers they threw him into a well and even left him to die he was later sold into slavery which ought to be the worst thing to happen to any human how be it his refining phase was not over he soon found himself in porta's house facing the pressure to sin when he refused porta's wife lied
against him and he was thrown into prison for years Joseph never real enjoyed his early years because of the several trials he had to face growing up he was in prison yet the Bible never recorded that Joseph complained one would wonder how he dealt with the pain he felt when his brothers sold him off as a slave they hated him and Joseph had to live with that he was wrongly accused and had to pay for the consequences of an action he did not commit the man Jacob was no different from birth God chose him when
he was of age in Genesis 28 he found a woman he intended to marry he followed her home to meet her father but it did not go as planned however our focus is on what God did with this season in Jacob's life the man Jacob felt cheated by laan now laan had two daughters Leah and the youngest Rachel when Jacob saw Rachel he fell in love with her and immediately asked for her hand in marriage they agreed that he would serve laan for 7 years for Rachel's hand in marriage he kept the promise Working Day
and Night relentlessly after 7 years laan gave him Leah and told him he had to marry the eldest first and if he still wanted the youngest he had to work another 7 years Jacob felt deceived and frustrated by laban's actions but he persisted and went through those years for Rachel these were the years in which he de developed tenacity Genesis 3228 then the man said your name will no longer be Jacob but Israel because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome what if he felt the treatment was unfair and immediately gave
up then he would not be able to win against the angels that had the change he sought Jacob had a resilience that wore out the Angels they had no choice but to bless him it was not physical strength that made Jacob Prevail with the angel angels are supernaturally strong beings the wrestling in that verse talks about Jacob's resiliency in getting what he wanted he built this persistence from the years he had to work for his father-in-law to marry the woman he loved from these stories you can see that God can sometimes orchestrate difficult Seasons to
help you grow he can often bring you under the discipleship of someone as cunning and difficult as Laban to build some virtues in you another reason you suffer more as a chosen is to build your capacity as a leader everyone that God chooses always ends up as Leaders no matter how small their jurisdiction is this is because God wants them to be Norm Breakers and pacesetters and they cannot effectively do this if they are not in a place of Authority or power the demands of gaining power are tasking leadership positions are not just given but
earned even if you are God's chosen you must do what it takes to earn that position you must be qualified we see that in our secular government rule the elects have to prove themselves worthy before they take the seats of authority over the masses which is also applicable to the things of God you must go through rigorous trials and tribulations if you look at our Lord Jesus Christ he had a mission to save the world he the Son of God was not left out of the test he suffered rejection the Jews that Jesus came to
save had no regard for him they openly despised him till they eventually persecuted and crucified him Philippians 2 210 and being found in appearance as a man he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on Earth and under the Earth it must have been hard for him to go through this process but he passed the test God gave him a name
to validate his authority and through his name you can Now command demons and other authority and they respond in submission most times God allows several trials to come your way while he remains silent watching your every move he is not doing this to punish you but the price you must pay to manifest your destiny at other times you will get mocked by people and God will keep quiet in such a moment because he wants you to learn to shut out other voices as Jesus did Psalms 35 weeping may stay for the night but rejoicing comes
in the morning God takes everyone he places a seal on through Seasons while these times may be hard you must understand they are necessary you cannot function in a future you are not fully equipped for the building process may be unpleasant but it will make you stronger and fit to handle any circumstance that comes your way God Can Make You Summit under a person he has also anointed most times it is not the easiest thing to do because they might have certain character deficiencies Others May pick on you for things you are not at fault
for some people may be harsh and blunt towards you no matter how you try to please them remember these are all Stepping Stones God is only refining you through them stand strong in faith never compromise your stand and God will see you through to the end now let us pray Heavenly Father father I give you praise for your loving kindness upon me you have been so good to me your hand is so evident in my life throughout my journey on Earth your hand has held me in safety you have shown me your Providence thank you
