Affliction will always be there, but...

Isaiah 35:1 (ASV) “The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.” The Bible promises us to receive 100 percent of every good thing in this life and the life to come plus persecution. In your journey to greatness, don't forget that affliction will always be there. Having that in mind helps us to be ready for any situation that comes our way. The scripture above tells us that the wilderness and dry land shall be glad. That means no place can ever stop your operation in God. Because of the favour placed upon you by God, men will try to bury you forgetting that you are a seed. When men bury you, rejoice in the Lord because they are helping you to establish a firm foundation and strong roots. The deeper they bury you the better for you, even if they did so in the desert, you will spring out because you have been born of the incorruptible seed. My brethren you should worry when you see yourself excelling without opposing forces. It's painful for the devil to ignore your excellence. If that happens, cross check yourself to find out which side you belong to. The devil always causes affliction to men that have substance and not on his side. So my brothers and sisters be happy when trouble comes your way especially when you have believed in the message of the cross. You are yet to see yourself deeper, greater and stronger than before. Good day
