The Necessary Test

It is popularly believed that most trials and challenges have their root in Satan. This view is considered true because Satan is known for having great interest in causing Havoc to Mankind. From the days of the first Adam even till date he has been in the business. However, as evil as he may be he only has the permission to execute a given number of trials some of which are specially reserved for believers. These carefully selected trials are called Tests; The Necessary Test.

Test is a Mechanical Engineering phase

What the Bible Says About Tests

  1. They Are Compulsory: When Jesus was admonishing his disciples as recorded in Mark 9 vs 49, he pointed out that tests are for everyone. Some versions calls it “Seasoning in the fire”. This is a kingdom process. It is compulsory for everyone who would be handling the things of God especially specific assignments.
  2. They prepare the Steward: Trials are necessary test that sharpens us. Going through them helps build in us certain qualities heaven expects us to possess for certain roles and purposes. It especially builds our patience according to James 1 vs 3. If a Man with a severe addiction be deprived of the very thing he is obsessed with he would overtime if he stays focused on getting better and moving on without it grow out of it. If Jesus was tested by Satan, we will be tested too.
  3. They are Rewarding: The recipient grows out through the test into something wonderful with a divine approval for exploits. Such a person is then ready to fulfill his purpose and to consequently receive the reward that awaits those that diligently seek God’s face.

The Vision and The Instruction

Because God is not an author of confusion when he establishes a channel of communication through a human being he ensures there are set instructions on what the individual must do. Divine instructions are tools with which the messengers navigates the purpose.

There are a handful of individuals who after receiving their calls where given instructions on what to do by God.

MOSES

Moses’s calling was a difficult and confusing one. First a very violent scene was arranged to show him a picture of the fate of his people in Israel. Then he committed murder out of anger because he couldn’t stand the oppression meted on his brother. That crime got him exiled and stranded in thethe wilderness. Things got really tough until the set time when God appeared to him. There are then his instruction was clearly stated and moved with it. The instruction made the burden easier and lighter.

JOSEPH

For Joseph it was a tough one. In a dream it was revealed to him what Path Heaven has drafted for him. But that was just the beginning. Trouble followed afterwards. From one hell to another Joseph spent most of his time wondering if what he saw was only a dream. His suffering and temptations continued until the set time for his uplifting. That was when he realized what the dream was about. It was only an insight into what God has in store for his destiny.

These two patriarchs of faith only had their calling finally revealed to them in full after undergoing serious exhausting stages. They were refined by the horror they faced initially. This preparatory phase is still today as relevant and applicable as it was then.

Keep faith in the storm. It may get tougher than you expected but it is for your good. At the end glory awaits.
