It will burn, you will feel offended by the Lord, abandoned and crushed but never destroyed. The Lord will not try us beyond our capacity; He controls the system.
Music by Glorie Edim
You know it was intentional. When others are being formed, you are being forged. When others get blessings, you fight battles. When others have platforms, you are isolated. It was all preparation. Special agents are not on display but put through the fire because only those who survive the furnace carry the fire.
Psalm 66:10–12 “For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver… we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.”
To be called is different from being chosen. It’s just like being recruited into the army, but then some specific individuals are chosen for special forces. They are given a more intense training, different from the masses. They are forged in a different, more intense furnace and tried even more. The purpose is to make them a stronger weapon to penetrate the strong enemy frontlines.
The enemy frontlines have a lot of spikes and spears of despair; only specific chosen soldiers can break through those frontlines.
Anyone can register to be enlisted in the special forces program, but it depends on whether they can survive the training. It is only those who survive that carry the fire.
Those who refuse to melt away because of trials, persecutions, and pain. Some have been chosen from the womb, while some are chosen after recruitment. Many who want to carry that fire melt away along the way because they do not know what it takes to become what God wants them to be. But those who were chosen by the Lord find it very easy to depend on the Lord for everything. Their faith is built on God’s promises, and their life is built upon the Word of God.
James 1:2–4 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
God doesn’t just move all His soldiers to the battlefield like one without strategy or organization. He plans, He trains, He assigns, He separates, and He equips His children separately with different weapons and power levels. Not all of God’s children are chosen for the same task. Some are given different tasks to execute, and the type of task that each one is given will determine the type of strength that God equips them with.
It all depends on whether you can survive the trials that God places within your boundaries. God will equip everyone accordingly, but if one is not prepared or well equipped, that person cannot function according to what God intended. This is why God prepares certain chosen people separately, equipping them for the mission He has given to them, and those missions are specific to specific purposes.
