ACKNOWLEDGING GOD IN ALL THINGS.

-

Text: Proverbs 3:6

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths_ 

Something happened to me yesterday that taught me a fresh lesson on the need to acknowledge God in all our ways. 
I jotted down some  important nuggets/thoughts on a piece of paper and dropped the paper on the desk in my office.

Few days later, I needed to add to the nuggets. I started looking for the paper but couldn't find it. I called all the family members together and demanded that they help look for the paper. While searching, I kept insisting that the paper was kept on the office table. I pushed the responsibility on my family members. 

In the midst of this confusion, our first son kept reiterating that we should ask God where the paper is. That was about the last thing I wanted to hear because I was so sure they had mistakenly swept the paper from the house and possibly discarded it. 

I reluctantly ask that we pray. So we ask the Holy Spirit to help us find the paper. The younger boy who has been very uninterested in the search was playing with a ball. Because the ball was seized, he decided to go look for another in our bedroom.  While he was looking for the other ball, he FOUND the Missing paper.(Rom 8:28)

The Lord found for us the missing paper we couldn't have FOUND ourselves. 

In a very practical way, God wants us to acknowledge Him in all our ways. We must entrust God with every details of our lives. (2 Sam 2:1)

God must be FIRST in our lives. We must practically give Him the first place in our lives. We must seek Him FIRST before any other thing(Mathew 6:33).

Sometimes we are being deceived to think that certain aspects of our lives does not concern God, and that we can handle them better .  Please let God take preeminence in your life today. Enthrone Him and make Him the King over everything in your life.


In this new month, intentionally acknowledge Him in all you do. 

Bible reading: 1Sam 30:1-30

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
