Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, the founder and presiding bishop of the Lighthouse Group of Churches, has urged Christians to stay grateful and strong in the things of the Lord despite hardship.
He claimed that occasionally, the Lord causes various events to take place in order to give people the opportunity to experience many facets of life or to aid in their spiritual growth and ability to guide others.
Speaking for the first time about his feelings following the death of his son, Bishop Dag said he experienced pain and occasionally saw distinct images of him.
Preaching with the theme scripture, Isaiah 40:1-3, he said the Lord comforts his children from all the different types of experiences, including the painful ones.
He supported it with Revelations chapter 20 which speaks about the dragon being loosened for a season which meant hardships that must necessarily hit man out of which people are made to learn lessons and fortified for certain assignments.
Bishop Dag said having gone through all, the glory and the beauty of the Lord will be upon those people.
