Our world is full of tribulations on a daily basis. Many nations of the world are afflicted by different kinds of tribulations. We hear of the rumours of wars, terrorism and insecurity. We witness many lives being wasted. We see several families rendered homeless. All these are tribulations.
Tribulations is one of the things Jesus promised us as His followers. He told us that in the world we shall see tribulations. The Bible says that we are to pass through much tribulations before we will inherit the kingdom. Tribulations are not going to be alien to the christian. It is the path of the making process which we must certainly pass through as His followers.
The tribulations which we suffer are not in vein. These tribulations are going to produce in us the virtues which will make us better Christians. Tribulations are not altogether bad. They are good at working out the good purpose of God in our lives. Yes, we will pass through many tribulations. Our Master said so. But we are confident that God will reveal a greater glory for us.
