Good day everyone on this platform. I greet you all and all parishioners @steemchurch. I bring to you another word of encouragement and to cheer you up in this phase of life. I want you to know that something cannot happen without a reason for it. Yes there is a purpose for it. 
In Ecclesiastes 3:1, the Bible says **"To every thing there is a season,and a time to every purpose under the heaven"**. My area of study will be on the same Ecclesiastes. The word there in verse 1 talks about Purpose for everything under the heaven which is the earth.

A person who is laughing today may end up crying tomorrow, and vice versa, nothing can go last like that except you have faith in God. God chooses to allow things to happen to us in order to favour us but we human beings thinks it is wickedness therein. No, God is not a wicked God,He knows what He is doing and will never allow any evil to come near you that is why He is preventing such to happen and thereby creating a funny scene that looks like all hope is lost with such fellow.

Your being alive till now has a purpose, it is not that He doesn't have the power to make you rich or kill you but there is a reason behind it. A friend of mine lost Her mum last two years and she started blaming God,which I cautioned and told her that her mum's death has a purpose perhaps God wants to do something good.

Your problems today is what some has encountered and came out of it joyfully, it is because God wants that for them and you still in it is something that will not stay for long. 
Problems are what comes into our life to bring out the boldness in facing it and giving us the story/experience to tell of it later. When problems don't show up,your faith in God won't be tested and you won't know what you are capable of doing. It is when problem comes in,that you will see yourself doing what you think you can't even do even when it(problem) doesn't show up. 

As Christians,temptations will surely arise but the grace to overcome them is what should be our aim and prayer. Jesus passed through temptations (Matthew 4) of the devil for a purpose and it is to destroy the works of devil and put him to shame and through His determination and power of God in Him,He overcame them.

You may be praying to God for victory over that problem facing you but no answer yet. Wait,don't think He doesn't hear you after so many fasting and prayer to come out of it. It is just because God doesn't want you to come out now because of the danger ahead. Let's take for instance. A woman praying to God for the fruit of the womb and always pray very well and because of that lose hope on it. Don't you know whether if the child should come now,you may lose your life? Or the child may even die at the process of bringing him to life. My advice is for you to wait for God's time and reason it in the way that it is for a purpose

God does not promise us problem free life but He promise that the challenges that will come to  us will not surpass us. Challenges of life are there to teach us a vital lessons; it will pushes us down, kick us, but at the end we will come out better.

In life,God allows problems,challenges to happen for a purpose,it is not to weigh us down but only have faith and move ahead. They will soon go and the purpose of God will be shown to you.
