Re: God uses suffering to teach us to minister

God never intended for us to experience death , sickness or poverty. All these come from the devil. Adam and Eve made the choice which opened the door to "Pandora's Box" (TIC). So don't blame God like Job did.

Back in Job's day the devil had access to heaven so he was up there accusing men before God. Now, since Jesus did a number on him, he's been kicked out of heaven and he's down here on earth accusing God before men.

Don't believe the lie of the devil, that God is sending trouble your way to build you up and make you strong. It's the devil sending tribulation your way to destroy you. (Jn 10:10). Jesus came that you might enjoy the God kind of life: ZOE'

Whether you enjoy the ZOE' from God or the tribulation from the devil is your choice. If you choose to embrace suffering, at least it's good that you make the most of it and hold fast your faith in God.
