Why Didn't God Remove Paul's Thorn? خدا نے پولُس کے جسم سے کانٹا کیوں نہ ہٹایا |Pastor Emmanuel Gill

This video, exploring the biblical narrative of the Apostle Paul's "thorn in the flesh" from 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. Here is a summary of the key themes and messages discussed: Understanding the "Thorn": The Pastor Emmanuel explains that despite Paul’s status as a great apostle who witnessed miracles and received extraordinary revelations (even being caught up to the "third heaven"), God allowed a "thorn" to remain in his life. A Protection Against Pride: A central theme is that the thorn was not a sign of God's abandonment, but rather a protection. It served to keep Paul humble ("lest I should be exalted above measure") amidst the abundance of revelations he received. The Power of God's Grace: The video highlights God’s response to Paul’s repeated prayers for removal: "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." The Pastor emphasizes that God often provides the strength to endure a situation rather than simply removing the difficulty. Weakness as Strength: The sermon concludes by reflecting on Paul's radical perspective—finding joy and strength in infirmities and hardships because they necessitated a deeper reliance on God’s power. Application for Believers: Pastor Emmanuel Gill encourages the audience, Pastor Emmanuel Gill, to trust in God's sovereignty. He suggests that our own "thorns" or weaknesses can be blessings if they keep us close to God and prevent the danger of self-reliance and pride. The message is a call to focus on God's presence and grace as being "enough," regardless of whether our circumstances or physical ailments are immediately changed. ----------------------------------------------------- 2nd.Corinthians 12:7 "خدا نے پَولس کے جسم سے کانٹا کیوں نہ ہٹایا؟" دُوسرا کُرنتھیوں 7:12 Why Didn't God Remove Paul's Thorn? اور مُکاشفوں کی زِیادتی کے باعِث میرے پھُول جانے کے اندیشہ سے میرے جِسم میں کانٹا چُبھویا گیا یعنی شَیطان کا قاصِد تاکہ میرے مُکّے مارے اور مَیں پھُول نہ جاؤں۔ And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. ---------------------------------------------------------- #Pastoremmanuelgill #PaulsThorn #BibleStudy #2Corinthians12 #GodsGrace #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #JesusChrist #ChristianFaith #StrengthInWeakness #gospelofhope
