False Arrangement with God

Word of Faith have a doctrine which translates that they have an arrangement with God: Word of Fiath followers will be faithful and righteous and, in return, God will quickly take care of all the problem issues in their lives. Biblically, that rationale is based on a wrong understanding of God. God does not promise us a perfect and trouble-free life on this earth. The fact is, all true Christians will suffer while here on earth and we should not be surprised when God does not instantly intervene and rearrange things to our liking. God promises to give us the grace and strength we need to handle anything on earth, see: 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” In our lives, we have to trust God and what He sees. We can only see portion of the present while God sees the entire picture the present and the future. We do not know what God has planned or how He intends to use our adversities for His glory and our eternal gain. Just as parents may allow their child to learn through a difficult situation because they know it will cause personal growth. God will do same for allowing our circumstances for our spiritual development. God have a spiritual goal which those of us are going through will have a positive result in the lives of others. If we could see the end result of things from God’s view point, instead of asking “Why?”, we should be responding in FAITH and allow God to use our disavantage for HIS Glory. We are to give thanks for what He allows and remember that in Romans 8:28: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
