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.

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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
