Tests to Perfection Written by D. Jonathan Fourie
1Co 3:14 If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward.
Psa 26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; test my heart and my mind.
In our daily lives we are tested and tested again. For if there were no tests, how will we know the strength of our faith? How will we know that God is testing us? Do we merely experience suffering everyday and let it by without investigating the origin of it?
Remember, that what ever we do will be tested with fire, and that which endures will stay forever. Our trails and tribulations is not to break us or to leave us broke and bankrupt, but to form us and to mould us into what is strong, durable, excellent and pure in the eyes of God.
Jer 17:10 I the Lord search the mind, I try the heart, even to give to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
How many times have we heard that what you sow you will reap? If you sow foolish words of stupidity which we know is folly and might end up in disaster, why do we do it? Or if we sow in anger because we cannot control our mind and utter undisciplined words, God is just and will do as He said according to Jeremiah 17:10.
Our wealth comes in many forms. If we sow words that proof to be folly, that is exactly what we will reap. But if we sow words in the discipline of the mind, we will reap the benefit of it. Our mind forms the words which lay in our hearts, and by seeing the end result of it, we speak it – and it shall come to pass.
In stead of saying that “we will not have enough money to pay our debts this month”, rather say that “with the grace and bountiful mercy of God we will meet all our obligations and have left overs”.

Your wealth lies on the tip of your tong, use it wisely to perfect your testing and God will give to you according to your ways the fruit of your doings. Written by D. Jonathan Fourie
