Three things choosing faith WON'T do for someone who suffers, 1. Choosing faith in the midst of suffering will not eliminate the pain. 2. Choosing faith in the midst of suffering will not stop the questions. 3. Choosing faith will not create a "logical" reason for your suffering.
Three things faith will DO for someone who suffers,
1. Choosing faith in the midst of suffering WILL remind u that God is in control. 2. Choosing faith in the midst of suffering will be a rare gift to God. 3. Choosing faith in the midst of suffering will bring u closer to God.
The Bible isn't afraid of the tough questions about suffering. One of the oldest stories recorded in the Bible about suffering, is about a man named Job. The way he dealt with his suffering has been a source of strength ever since people began searching the Bible for answers.
Job responded to his suffering with great faith. His story, and his response, leaves us with a very important question: How will you respond, when your world caves in? Will you dare choose faith?
If you make the choice of faith, the battle with suffering is far from over.
Study the conversation between God and Satan. God wasn't tricked by Satan. He didn't misunderstand. God carefully weighed the options, considered the ramifications, and made a choice. At no time was God out of control.
Jesus as he struggled with the weight of the cross, the burden of the task, and the unspeakable pain of the crucifixion. Through it all, he committed to the will of the Father, and never let his Spirit be committed anywhere else.
If you're in the midst of suffering, you're also in the midst of an incredible opportunity. If you can worship now, the gift you give may be more valuable than it ever has been, or ever will be again.
Ever since, those who have suffered and looked for God have been finding hope in the Savior who died for them.
Don't let the facts keep you from your destiny. Choose faith, dare to believe.
Shalom.

DM:
The route is old Lagos Road. My cousin attended a wedding in kaduna, on their way back to Birnin gwari she was kidnapped along side another lady. Most drivers plying that route work with the kidnappers. She spent 11 days in their den.
She was released after her younger brother took ransom their, while the brother was detained until we bought 2 bikes as requested, they usually specify the model and product(honda) they want.
Kidnapping in that route is on daily bases, my cousin said the kidnappers have herbalist and alfas working for them their. That place is like Headquarters of kidnappers den in nigeria. In the evening hilux and prado jeep do come and load ransom in ghana must go.
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
“No temptation.” I love that phrase. It covers them all. But the temptations that Paul is talking about specifically in the preceding verses are sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 10:8) and grumbling (1 Corinthians 10:10).
And they are the most dangerous temptations we face because they’re aimed at where we are weakest: our profound, pathological fallen selfishness. This is why Satan concentrates most of his efforts on them.
1. Two former senior public officers returned about N8Bn to FG to avoid being prosecuted.

2. Otunla claimed that the now suspended acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, promised him that he would not be prosecuted, should he return funds traced to him, companies linked to him, and his associates.

2. Not only does adultery bring dire consequences to one's earthly life, it disrupts one's relationship with God. Isaiah told the people of Israel that this was a consequence of their idolatry: "Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God" (Isaiah 59:2).
3. Because of their sins, the Lord refused to hear their prayers. He said, "When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen" (Isaiah 1:15).
