GOD TAKES DELIGHT IN SUFFERING FOR HIM 
TEXT: Isaiah 53: 3-11 

Key verse: Isaiah 53: 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

Today's scriptural text presents to us the sufferings of our Lord. He did not live a pleasurable life. He was acquainted with grief to the left hand and the right hand. Even in the family circles, the brothers did not believe in Him but were rather mocking Him. At other times they were looking for Him to stone Him, to kill Him. It was not a palatable life that Jesus Christ went through. He was oppressed by men.

Today's key verse shows that it pleased the Lord for Christ to suffer! God allowed the sufferings because of the blessings that shall follow. It is by these sufferings that the pleasure of the Lord shall be satisfied because the Lord takes pleasure in suffering. He rewards suffering, as it is said, “God has only one child that never sinned but He has no child that never suffered.” As for sin, all have sinned, except Jesus; but for suffering, all have suffered and shall suffer, including Jesus.

God takes delight in suffering for Him. He came and exemplified it, so none is exempted from suffering for God. Since God gave up Jesus for buffeting, and gave up Job for suffering, and gave up Paul for buffeting. The Lord permits suffering for righteousness because of the great joy when the rewards are received. 

God is a God of comfort because He knows what we suffer for Him. He knows the pain we are going through in life for Him. He knows the buffeting of the devil. He knows the works of satanic agents. He knows the works done against us by wicked men and women. 
Thought for the day: None is exempted from suffering for God 
Song for the day: I love my Jesus, My Jesus loves me, No circumstances can…
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 51-52; Hebrews 6

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
