"The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).And he brought him to Jesus.Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter[a])" So do you the same , be a fisheman of souls.

Acts 4:11 Jesus is“‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’[a]
What holds and drives your faith?remember that your faith must be founded on the king who gives life, who gave you salvation and eternal life
1. Jesús es el camino, la verdad y la vida.
No hay otra manera de llegar a Dios, sino a través de Jesús, no hay nadie más en quien se puede llegar a Dios y no hay otro nombre
God raised you in the crucial moment of your life the Holy Spirit will allow you to grow in faith and then you will understand the will of God in your life.
2- Put your eyes at Jesus.
In Jesus Christ we must set our sights.Hebrews 12: 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Daily we have and must follow the example of the teacher. 1Peter.2: 21-23 To thisyou were called,because Christ suffered for you,leaving you an example,that you should follow in his steps.22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”[a]
23 When they hurled their insults at him,he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats.Instead, he entrusted himselfto him who judges justly.
Extraordinary things happen when God is in our midst, for He has achieved victory for you and for me and He reigns For ever and ever.

Afflictions
Christianity never promises a life free of problems on Earth. We must all undergo several tests in our lifetime. But keep this in mind: The tests are not designed to destroy, but to strengthen us. They are designed to test our faith. Proven faith is worth more than gold tested. The gold will eventually perish in the flames, but the faith that refines never fail! It allows your faith is the kind of faith that endures and results in praise, honor and glory after it has been refined! Christ is coming soon to bring eternal peace! In this we rejoice and we look forward to His return! AMEN!
1 Peter 1: 6-7 "Therefore you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, have been distressed by various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold (which though perishable, is tested by fire), may be found in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. "
We all go through problems in our life. The Bible teaches us as people and countries suffer experiences in different ways and for various reasons. Wickedness is everywhere in this sinful world, and so much suffering. The scriptures present multiple perspectives on suffering. It may come as punishment for immorality. The wicked will surely suffer for their mistakes (Psalm 7: 15-16), although they may look prosperous for a while (Job 21: 28-33). Suffering also occurs away from the Word of God (Mal. 3: 7-15).
When we see the righteous suffer, we must consider God, who sent His only son to an evil world. The New Testament writers incorporated the sufferings of Christ in their own lives. The purpose and need of suffering in the life of the Son of God (Matt. 16:21) helped them to overcome their own ailments. Christians of the first century quickly recognized the inevitability of suffering. As Christ suffered, they would follow in his footsteps (Acts 14:22; 1 Peter 4: 12-13). Continuing the mission of Christ, we incur tribulation (Mark 13: 12-13) because the world rejects the disciples as much as rejection of the Lord (John 15:18). The suffering of Jesus is counted as a privilege for those who love him! (Acts 5:41)
The New Testament also teaches us the kind of suffering that occurs properly live. These tests mature us in faith (James 1: 2-4). Patiently we endure these tests because we know that God is working in our lives (Romans 8: 28-29).
We are strengthened spiritually through these tests (Hebrews 12:11). Therefore, be patient in affliction (Romans 12:12.) Because these afflictions do not compare with the glory that awaits the faithful follower of Christ (Rom. 8: 17,18). Let the perfect power of God work in you in all your troubles! Amen!
Psalms 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but all the LORD delivers him.
