Over the years, I constantly hear people discuss the pain or trials they have gone through. We all have heard the cliché, “If it hadn’t been for the Lord on my side I don’t know where I would be.” In that instance, we do not realize that the pain we are going through is molding and shaping us to become the people that God has created us to be. But in the moment, we are only thinking of the negative thoughts. Are you ready to have contractions in order to birth the pain God is about to take you through? Better yet ask yourself, “Am I willing to be a part of the PPP plan? The Pain Produces Product plan.
With this plan you have several options:
Option 1: This plan will cost you some friends, relationships, and friendships. May even include being secluded from others; enduring the pain that has been placed upon you. Do not just sit and wonder if something is going to happen-continue to praise and rejoice. 1 Peter 4:12-13 says, “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy” (NKJV). If we cannot praise God when we are in pain, how can we sincerely praise him with everything is going fine? He wants to know the sincerity of your heart not your mouth. God is not looking for actors but for the people that are willing to labor before him.
Option 2: This is the cheaper plan. May cost sleepless nights, fasting, prayer time, and seeking God. Within this packet, you may have to cut some toxic people off. Downsize your 8 hour sleeping time to 3 hours. The other hours will include interceding before God. This might even require you to be silent for a length of time. Opening your ears rather than your mouth. Seeking God like your life truly depends on it.
Option 3: Lastly, the combo plan with a bonus gift. Includes options 1 and 2, but the bonus is receiving eternal life. With this plan, there can be no compromising involved. Meaning we cannot serve God two days in the week and on the other days we act like a hypocrite. Compromising this plan will including an additional fee that can only be reduced by repentance. If compromised, your plan will be cut off without a service letter of notice.
If mothers were to compromise during labor and decided they couldn’t endure the pain, how many children would be on this earth?
So, are you willing to be a part of the PPP plan?
