MOUNTAINS HAVE EARS

-

Text: Matthew 21:21

Jesus answered and said unto them, verily I say unto you, if ye have faith,  and not doubt, you will not only only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if  you tell THIS  MOUNTAIN,  'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea',  it will be done_ . 

Everything created by God has ears,  both animate and inanimate things. Jesus in Matthew 21:18 spoke to a tree and the tree obeyed,  because the tree too has ears. 

When the disciples saw how fast the tree responded to our Lord's verdict on it,  they were amazed. And they voiced out their observation, to which Jesus gave them further clarification. He made it clear that they can equally do what He did and even more,  but only on the following three conditions.:

1. You must be His disciple.: Obviously,  Jesus was addressing His disciples in that text,  Matthew 21:20-21.

2. You must have faith.: Personal trust and confidence in Him. 

3. You must not doubt.: Not allowing yourself to be drawn in two directions. 

Once you are cleared on the conditions above,  you are guaranteed that you will have whatever you say. 
Now,  the mountain does not necessarily have to be a physical one,  but anything that stands as obstacles,  challenges and difficulties in your life, they are mountains that should give way. 

Note that Jesus had spoken to trees,  to water,  to wind,  to storm and so on, and they all obeyed because they all have ears and can't refuse the voice of their Maker. (Mark 4:39, Mark 1:27)

He has given us the same authority to root out any tree that God has not planted in our lives. 
The ball is now in your court to do as you wish. Luke 9:1.

 *It is time to root out any tree in your life that is not planted by our father in Heaven. Matthew 15:13.* 

Bible reading: Matthew 21:18-27.

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
