Transform Your Pain To Purpose Says Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse
Founder of Freedom For All Nations Outreach widely known as FANO TV, Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse has enjoined everyone across the globe to transform their pains to Purpose. He stated this during a live service at his ministry’s headquarters in South Africa with the theme, “Transforming your pain to purpose”
Taking reference from the bible in James 1:3-4, he charged those walloping in pain to exercise patience and cling to God. He said they should not Live in pain but turn it into testimony. The key word is patience.
“Endurance will perfect your life. Transformation is a change from pain to gain. The process is called transformation. If you fail to move out of your pain, you will remain stagnant. There is no one without pain. The foundation of the glory of all great men is built on pain. To every glory is a story to tell. We all call the name of Jesus today but the bearer of that name transitioned from pain at Gethsemane to glory of resurrection”
Speaking further he said, “during the moment of pain, don’t walk away from God. Because for you to experience true change from pain to gain, mess to message and error to testimony, it has to be God. No throne without a cross.’’
He revealed that pain in a man’s life is the divine spice, or aroma that sweetens the future. He highlight three things to know about pain:
It introduced genuine friends. You can’t know who truly loves you when things are good. Secondly, pain produced two memories: those who caused the pain, and the one who brought you out of the pain.
“Pain gives you genuine direction to discovering the hidden treasure and promises of God. It gives you direction to destiny discovery. It gives you relevance. Look beyond the pains because it introduced you to destiny helpers. At times pain contradicts your future expectations but with the understanding of its purpose you turn it to gain.
Job said I will wait until my change comes. Pain introduced you to your destination.
You can become the son or product of circumstances but it is your guidance to the land of purpose”.
Furthermore, he affirmed the fact that when in pain, the way out is walking out of the cause. When in pain avoid condemnation because guilt is the enemy of self confidence.
“Without tears, no life. Every faith that must be produced shall be tested. Trials preceded divine favour. Don’t take offence when you are in pain. The perpetrators are the channels through which are shaped and connected to your destiny.’
“There is a reason behind those unpleasant situations. Remain in God. Results silence Insults. Success eradicates years of mess. Stop walloping in years and self pity. Rise up, strive to attain results and silence insults. Don’t argue with mockers, let your result humble them. Only fools doubt proofs. Evidence swallows mockers”
“If you fail, it’s not your enemy’s problem but your own problem. Pain is an indication that you have a glorious future. Discovery leads to recovery”
