ANOTHER COMFORTER(1)

-

Text : John 14:16 

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

When the disciples heard about Jesus' departure, they were full of sorrow and fears. So He issued them a profound statement to allay their fears. He said to them "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you"(John 14:18)

The disciples had enjoyed some comforts, supernatural protection, provisions and deliverance while Jesus was around. Peter's mother in-law was healed of fever instantly, the disciples were delivered from shipwreck, their financial obligations were met.  The disciples enjoyed all-round help and comfort because Jesus was around. 

In view of the privileges the disciples had been enjoying because of Jesus' presence, they were filled with sorrows when they heard that He would be leaving them(John 16:5-7).

The same comforting news Jesus gave them over 2000 years ago, is still applicable to you and me today: *I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS* 
Whatever you may be going through today, I am made bold to tell you that you have the same comfort Jesus promised the disciples. Another Comforter  which He promised had already been sent and same comforter is still around till TODAY. The Holy Spirit will give you same comfort the disciples enjoyed while Jesus was with them.

Whatever your situation might be today, I want to tell you that the comforter(Holy Spirit) is around to comfort you.
Just take few minutes, wherever you are now and RECEIVE His comfort into your situations.


Bible reading: John 14:16-20, John 16:4-16.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
