DO NOT FAINT

Texts:Proverbs 24:10 

If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength  is small.

As long as we are living on the face of the earth, we are subjected to different times and seasons of challenges. No one is exempted from these challenges. When you are confronted with any challenge ( or if you are in one now), I encourage you not to faint. Hold unto the Lord and don't give up. 

 The day of adversity simply means that a day will show up for you that will be quite challenging. When that day comes, you must know that it is also part of the days the Lord has made. Some only love good days of celebrations, promotions, fun and enjoyment. They don't like a day of adversity. Nobody really does anyway. But we surely do have challenging times at some point in life. 

 One thing that the day of adversity does is to reveal your strength. It is the day of adversity that measure the size of your strength: small or big. If you fail in that day, your strength is small, but if you stand in the time of challenges, your strength is Big. Though you may not like challenging time, but it will surely come. It is such a day that offers you the platform for promotion or otherwise. 

Day of adversity is like Examination day for a student. There won't be promotion without Examination. Examination is not given to a student to destroy him but to prove him. In the same vein, day of adversity is not to cast you down but to prove the stuff you are made of. To know how good a football is, you bounce it hard on the ground. To prove a gold, you pass it through fire. To prove the strentgth of an eagle, you throw it down from a very high plateau. To prove you are a good swimmer, we throw you into an ocean. Your challenge is equivalent to your strength and vice versa. The challenge you are facing now has only come to prove your strength and not to destroy you. Continually prepare yourself in the word of God and Prayers so that you will not faint in your day of adversity.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
