In an age where it is popular in Christian teaching and preaching to promote the topics of blessing and favour, the whole counsel of God on the matter can often be neglected. When we look at the subject of blessing in the Bible it also tells us that suffering can at times be a form of blessing, but how can this be so? The first part of this book examines what scripture says about this subject. Many believers endure long periods of suffering, like Job suffering both loss and pain. God wants us to know that the problems we encounter are not without purpose or reward. Our God is the God of the breakthrough and is aware of everything we face and encounter. He is always in control and fighting to ensure that we receive the victory, as He works all things out for our good. What the enemy intends for evil, God will ensure works out in our favour.
