Christian Content Creator Reminds Every Believer: ‘Your Breakthrough Is Judged By Your Character’

A Christian content creator gave a powerful reminder to every believer. He said that their breakthrough is judged by their character.

Christian Content Creator

A Christian content creator shared the one major sign that God was preparing someone for their breakthrough: when God would test them. One of those tests might involve allowing the devil to attack them. While God is a protector, sometimes He steps back. Even though someone may feel they are still in God’s presence, He would test them momentarily.

According to the creator, God tests his followers to see if they truly want to follow God and His word. While some might argue that God already knows the hearts of His people, the creator mentions that God tests them for His children’s benefit. Ultimately, these tests reveal what’s in people’s hearts, and those who are attentive can discern it.

Furthermore, the creator emphasized that God’s tests can take various forms, including lust, temptation, and any struggles individuals may have.

“Before you became a follower of Christ, the devil will attack you with that. But the only difference is, it’s under God’s discretion,” he explained.

Breakthrough

Moreover, he reminded every believer that God was still with them even amid trials. Then, he mentioned a quote that says, “The teacher is always silent during the test.” When a follower of God who studied and obeyed the Word would be ready for his breakthrough, then that’s when God would allow them to go through a test.

Lastly, he highlighted that for people to pass the test, it would help if they were prepared in the first place. Then, he remarked, “Your breakthrough is judged by your character. He’s there. He’s just a little bit of distance away. Cause He wants to see, is he or she really ready yet?”

Teacher Paints Philippians 4:13 On Her Parking Spot, Then Colleague Reports To Have It Removed

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

A colleague at a school in Wesley Chapel, Florida, complained and reported the teacher who painted Philippians 4:13 on her parking spot.

Offended By Philippians 4:13 Painting

Instructional assistant Marina Gentilesco got offended after she saw the word “Christ” in Wiregrass Ranch High School’s parking lot one day. Apparently, a teacher boldly painted a Bible verse in her parking spot. She painted Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”

The staff then accused the teacher of attempting to proselytize school students with what she did. She thought the initiative intended to “force the Christian faith upon others,” which was not allowed in the school. The Jew feels attacked every time she sees the painting because of her own beliefs. So, she reported it to the principal of the school.

“I feel like it’s attacking me as a Jew,” she shared in an interview with WFLA News Channel 8. “It brings me to the verge of tears because it brings me back to the 6 million that perished. Six million perished because of our faith — because we’re Jews.”

Not A Violation

Marina complained against the teacher and requested to have the verse removed. But later on, the Pasco County Schools declared that the teacher was innocent because it was not a violation at all.

“It’s not a violation,” Pasco County Schools Public Information Officer Stephen Hegarty said. “This is personal expression.”

The Officer clarified that the painted Bible verse wasn’t proselytizing. The teacher was merely expressing her Christian beliefs through it. And it’s something that the school allows. Because in Wiregrass Ranch High School, “students and teachers” are allowed “to express themselves freely and assert their own individuality.”

The parking spot issue received various reactions from concerned citizens. But many believers applauded the teacher for her bold expression of her Christian faith.

Heroic Teacher Loses Life At 38 After Saving A Young Girl Drowning

written by Christel Berns

A heroic teacher who was on a beach trip with his family has died from rescuing a teenage girl drowning in a lake in Michigan. His students weren’t surprise when he risked his life to save someone.

Drowning Michigan Incident

Thomas Kenning and his family went on a trip with his family to Porter Beach. Everything was okay until they heard a girl screaming for help as she was drowning. Then without hesitation, the teacher jumped into action.

The 38-year-old went into the Michigan lake to rescue the teenager crying for help. The girl made it out, but unfortunately, the heroic teacher got sucked in the current. When the lifeguards tried to get him, they could no longer find him. People who witnessed the scene saw the brave teacher and his heroic act. But sadly, he disappeared amidst the waters for about 15 minutes after saving the teen.

Soon, rescuers found his body, but it was too late. They reported that he apparently got caught in the “waves approximately 20 to 30 feet from shore, just west of the Indiana Dunes State Park beach.”

Well-Loved Hero Teacher

Thomas survived his wife and daughter, who are now grieving their loss.

“My last image is of him standing in the water holding his hand out to her,” the hero’s mother, Sharon, recalled.

Thomas has always been well-loved by people because of his great character. Although sad, his student weren’t surprised when they heard about the heroic act. He was always known for his kindness and was popular as a middle school teacher. He was a person who “embraced his environment and his surroundings,” according to his mom. Further, “he wrote books about it to share with people to try and open their eyes to the things around them.”

His wife, Jasmine, also added how Thomas’s “last breath was literally for someone else.” And it wasn’t a waste as the young girl survived.

Thoughtful family friends of the Kennings put up a GoFundMe page to help them amid the tragic loss. Let’s keep the family in our prayers.

Security Guard Teaches Street Kid How To Read And Write In His Spare Time

by Christa
written by Christa

Pictures of a security guard has been circulating around the internet. His kind gesture of teaching a street kid how to read and write has inspired many.

Security Guard as a Teacher

A by-passer from Philippines noticed a security guard who was tutoring a street kid during his post. Apparently, he was assigned to guard a pawnshop. While there was still no clients, he took advantage of his vacant time to offer free lessons to a kid.

John Robert Flores captured the moment and posted it on his Facebook account. He revealed that he had seen the guard teaching several kids prior to that sweet moment. He was only able to capture the time when the officer taught one kid. Realizing the security’s big heart, he thought it deserved to be shared to the public.

“Even though he [security guard] is not related to the kid, he was willing to teach the kid out of his kind heart. I salute you, Sir! May the Lord continue to bless you for reaching out to the kids,” Flores said.

5-Year-Old’s Kindness To A Police Officer Made His Mom Cry

As the post went viral, some of the guard’s friends were able to identify him and tagged him in the comments. They felt proud as a friend and affirmed of John’s good will. Even customers who were regulars in the pawnshop commented and testified of his bright disposition. “He is really kind, respectful and always greets you with a smile,” one commenter said.

Other people remarked that parents should follow the example of the security guard. Because of the pandemic, parents are encouraged to home school their children to prevent spread of the virus. “If the security guard could teach the street kids, then there is no reason why parents can’t also do it,” Rachfeed reported.

Remember Your Teacher And Training, You Will Overcome

by Nicole D Roberts
written by Nicole D Roberts

“This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalms 118:24) From this scripture, we can tell that God is the One true living God, for there is no enemy or human being that can create such a wonder, today.  When God created today, He said it was good and it still is.  I know we are facing perilous and testing times, but has this not been like this before?  In these times of global testing, faced with COVID-19, uncertainty, the normal has been shaken and everyone has to adapt to and adopt a new way of living, staying at home and social distancing. It is time you remember your teacher and training.

Stand In Faith

Dear brothers and sisters, I want to encourage you that this is not the time to shrink in fear but to stand in faith on the Rock of our salvation.  The time has come to remember your training and put it into practice. God always prepares His people for the battle before the test.  Remember David had training of defeating lions and bears before he conquered and triumphed over Goliath the Philistine?

Remember your Teacher and training, going to Church, paying your tithes, trusting the Eternal Living Word, trusting the Living God, studying the Word, applying the Word, declaring the Word, feeding your faith, the goodness and faithfulness of Jesus our Teacher.  The Word outlasts all these pains, troubles, tests and sicknesses that come to challenge us daily.  However, when faced with troubles we can do all things through Christ who strengthens, equips, enables and empowers us through His Word, His Mighty Power within us and greater is He that is us than he that is in the world (see 1 John 4:4).  We can pass this test, we can get through this, for God is with us, we will triumph in the works of His hands (Psalms 92:4).

Remember Your Teacher And Training

When we get through, we receive a testimony for the devil, sickness, cancer, COVID-19, debts, isolation, loneliness, mental illness, and destruction is already defeated, disabled and disarmed before they rise against us. We have to believe the Word of God for it is Eternal and Unchanging.  Remember your training, for now, we face the test in God’s image and likeness and we have a testimony. We are covenant children of God.  Remember who God is and who you are in Christ.  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death (see Revelation 12:11 NKJV) in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Teacher Left Hospital in Tears After Reading the Prescription From Her Surgeon

by Christian Learning
written by Christian Learning

School taught us many things. As a child, it’s the happiest place in the world because it’s where you meet your friends and playmates. And it can be the greatest place to grow and learn when you have a wonderful teacher.

Every student has their own favorite teacher in school that they will never forget as they go through with life.  Someone who made an impact on them or became a mentor. Maya Angelou was right when she said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

And maybe, Dr. Dilbert Monicit never forgot how his teacher, Virginia Robles made him feel when he was still a student.

For several years, Virginia Robles has been a high school teacher in Mandaue, Cebu, Philippines. It has always been a delight for her to see her students become successful in life. Like many teachers, the achievements of her students gave Virginia great pride.

One day, Virginia was hospitalized due to a broken arm and went to Perpetual Succour Hospital. Upon checking out at the nurse station, she was shocked after seeing what was written on her bill:

“Professional fee paid twenty-two years ago (one of my favorite teacher!).”

Unbeknown to her, a former student, Dilbert Monicit, was now a surgeon in that hospital.

Dr. Dilbert, after finding out that the patient was his favorite teacher, immediately waived his professional fee.

Virginia expressed her gratitude to her former student in a Facebook post saying:

“Just checked out of Perpetual Succour Hospital. I got this note from the nurses’ station. Thank you for the early Christmas gift, Dr. Dilbert Monicit. Thank you for being there. It really made me teary-eyed when I read it. I thought it was for my medication because it was on a prescription paper.”

This surgeon’s kindhearted gesture towards his former teacher shows us how to honor and bless those who’ve helped us in life!

Students Surprise Teacher Fighting Cancer

by Christian Learning
written by Christian Learning

As the lyrics of the song “I’m Gonna Love You Through It” by Martina McBride go, cancer doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t pick an age, profession, or gender.

Mrs Adriana Lopez, fourth grade teacher in PS22 in Graniteville, New York, wasn’t exempt. She began the fight of her life against breast cancer in 2015.

At the time of her diagnosis, Mrs Lopez was a new teacher at PS22 who instantly connected with everyone. She shared her warmth, creativity and joyful smile with all she came across.

Battling with cancer is never easy, but praise God for sending people that surround us with the warmth of their comforting presence. Mrs Lopez found loving friends and students who were there for her during these tough times of her life.

In this video, you will see students singing from their soul! In their hand movements, facial expressions and swaying back and forth it is obvious they love this teacher because they sing this song with everything in them.

Mr B choral director for PS 22, shares that after dozens of treatments, with the comfort and support of family and friends by her side, Mrs Lopez is currently cancer free!
