Many prophets of God are suffering for God; they are willing to obey God and don’t mind the suffering.
Also, they will never regret it because they love God so much and trust in him. If God calls you to deliver a message to his people, will you go?
Will you reject the call of God most high? I think many will, but some people are willing to do whatever God wants.
Isaiah 6:8 KJV
Also, I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Wow, Isaiah was willing, for he is willing to obey God and surrender to his will; he makes no excuses nor complains.
And you know, even God told his prophet Isaiah to walk naked, and he did so. See Isaiah 20:2-3.
Isaiah 20:3 KJV And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
God the Lord know what he is doing. You know, God sends his prophets to warn his people of their wrongdoing and to encourage them to walk in his ways.
His people were very stubborn and refused to obey.
“They mocked the messengers of God… until there was no remedy.” (2 Chronicles 36:16-17)
God is very serious; he has compassion for his people and is truthful. If you mock his prophets, he will get angry at you, and then your life will fall apart.
prophets who are known for suffering
More prophets suffer, like Daniel, who was thrown into the lion’s den for praying to God three times a day consistently and faithfully,
and Elijah, whose king wife was trying to kill him because Elijah killed all worship of false gods.
You know the 12 disciples of Jesus were cruelly murdered, and Peter was crucified upside down, and apostle Paul suffered a lot, and he even was stoned, and the end of his life was, if I remember correctly, he was beheaded in Rome.
John the Baptist was put in prison and then beheaded. So sad.
Who is the prophet who suffers the most? Job.
Have you read the book of Job? Satan took away everything he had, all ten of his children were killed, his wealth was gone, and Satan was afflicted with painful sores, and he is in agony.
Job’s wife said to him, ” Curse God and die, ” but he told his wife, ” You are a foolish woman. Job reminds faithful to God, loyal to him, and loving God, and he saith himself, though
he slay me, yet will I trust in him.
At the end of his job life, god bless him so much so that his wealth is doubled. Wow. What a wonderful God we serve! Now let’s talk about the suffering of the prophet
Jeremiah the prophet was chosen by God when he was just a young man, and he was God’s favorite. We know that God’s chosen one was never wrong, for God looks at the heart, not the body.
Jeremiah was beaten and put in prison, and the Bible says Jeremiah was in the dungeon for 3 days and was fed bread from the baker’s street. Jeremiah 37:15.
They put Jeremiah in the dungeon of Malki; however, in that dungeon there was no water mire, which is mud, and there was no more bread in the baker’s streets; thus Jeremiah was starved; however, God was with him and knew the future.
Jeremiah had just delivered a message from God, which made the people angry, and they wanted to kill him. Jeremiah 26:8.
But Jeremiah wants the people to change their way and obey God, Jeremiah 26:13. You know Jeremiah is known as the weeping prophet, and he loves his people so much and also has compassion on his people,
Jeremiah 9:1 KJV
Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
In those times, the people followed Baalim, and they did not care about the law of God. God said, “They walk in the imagination of their hearts, which means they do whatever they want that seems good to them.
How did God support these suffering prophets
God supports these suffering prophets by being with them, protecting them, and even watching over them. Yes, God loves His prophet,
Jeremiah 31:3 KJV The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore
with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. God sent his prophet for us, and he loves us so much. Jesus, the Lord, wants us to be on the right path, to walk according to his laws and commandments, to follow him, to love him, and even to trust in him.
In truth, Jeremiah was suffering, but God said to him,
Jeremiah 1:8 KJV Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 1:19 KJV
And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
Yes, the Lord God of truth, take good care of his prophet, the store of Elijah. God hid him by the brook Cherith and even commanded the ravens to feed him bread and meat every morning and evening.
Wow, our God is a sustainer and lover God. Elijah was known as the last Prophet of God and a prophet of fire. 🔥.After the water dried up, God sustained him through the widow.
You know the story: the widow’s woman died, and Elijah prayed to God, and the Bible says God heard the voice of Elijah, and the child was brought back to life.
in conclusion
Thanks for reading my article. I appreciate it. Jesus was I will never leave you nor forsake you
Even though God is in heaven, he is Almighty God. He still looks down from heaven toward us and protects us
He loves us so much and cares for us. The prophet of God suffers and is even persecuted because they obey the voice of God in heaven, and are willing to do the will of God.
Don’t worry about them because God is with them. Even Moses went through a lot; he had to deal with millions of God’s people, and I think he could have been fed up, too.
Mose sitting all days to solve the people problem lol, God saith to mose
Exodus 33:14 KJV And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. wow, Moses is the only man who saw the back of God .. Mose found grace in God, sigh.
