HE NEVER SLEEPS

-


Text: Psalms 121:4

Behold,  he who watches over Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers.

Our God is the only one who neither sleeps nor slumbers, and He's watching over you. Every other gods will not only sleep but they will die too.

It will be anormally if He is not sleeping and you are not sleeping too. He said He gives His beloved sleep(Psalms 127:2). The first part of that verse says, " it is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late,  to eat the bread of sorrow"

What could be more vain  than this-waking up  early  and sitting up late,  yet eating the bread of sorrow.  What a Vanity!!!
Bread of sorrow is when anxiety and fretting is  associated with your work. And even the so-called rich people are not exempted from this bread of sorrow.

The bread of sorrows is the pressure you experience for any aspect of your provisions  and well being when you trust only in your ability to provide.

The Amplified version of this verse, psalms 127:2 says ".......for He gives blessings to His beloved even in his sleep".
That is, if you are the beloved of God, even when you are sleeping,  i.e when you are not sweating it out or labouring like the rest,  He will direct blessings your way simply because you are His beloved.

Break away from vanity today. Deliver yourself from the rat race by trusting in the only One who gives power to make wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18).
He promised you sound sleep (rest from unworthy labour) only if you are His beloved.

To be His beloved, you must know how to please Him(Matthew 3:17). And without faith, it is impossible to please Him(Hebrew 11:6). This faith is summarised in simple obedience to His words.

*He gives His beloved sound sleep(Rest from unnecessary labour) .  Are you His beloved?  It's not too late to become one TODAY.*

Bible reading: Ecclesiastes 1:1-18.

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
