N

Defining the term:

“It is a deliberate act of withstanding the spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional challenges that are embedded in the believer’s new life in Christ.”

“ENDURANCE”

“Endurance is a way of life for the believer”

1 Co 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

“Those who endure are committed and very focused.”

Mark 7:26  Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician  by  birth.  And  she  begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

Mark 7:27  And  he  said  to  her,  "Let  the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

Mark 7:28  But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.”

Mark 7:29  And he said to her, "For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.”

Mark 7:30  And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.”

Five things we need to about this woman’s endurance:

1. The Woman’s Request v.262. The Woman’s Resistance v.273. The Woman’s Response v.284. The Woman’s Reward

v.295. The Woman’s Relief

v.30 Endurance is a change- agent:

trust God and hold on.

“Believers must be prepared to endure or face

unnecessary stress.”

ONE LAST THING..

Have a blessed and Fulfilling week !
