Since the devil knows the true value of a test (it is the solution to every single problem, when presented on the Altar of God), he tries to distort its true meaning.

Many are suffering, moaning, in despair, and unfortunately think they are being tested.

Cancer, poverty, betrayal and so many other pains, have been the synonym of a test for many.

There are even those who say:
“God is testing me!”; “I’m going through a great trial”.

However, all of this suffering is not a test!
Instead, it is necessary to prove your faith before these evils, and definitively put an end to this problem.

Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you. Genesis 22.2

Abraham was tested and approved, this is why the Most High considered him the father of faith.

The friends of God are all those who are approved on His Altar.

Abraham was not being tested for not having a son.
Abraham’s test was to place his son on the Altar, on Moriah.
