LITTLE FAITH-FEAR

Text:  Matthew  8:26 

 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm_ .

Another mention of little faith(as remarked by Jesus) has to do with FEAR. Jesus and the disciples were on the sea and there arose a great tempest in the sea. The disciples, with FEAR woke Jesus from sleep to save them from perishing.

The response of Jesus to  His disciples in the face of danger and death was that they had little faith. Could it be that, Jesus is saying same to you now? Jesus would not want the disciples to be afraid of anything.

When you are fearful, you are not in Faith. No matter the situations you find yourself, you must not allow fear in your heart.

David said, "So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!"

 Psalm 46:3 &2

I am not sure you have been confronted with the above situations before. The picture painted by David above can be a very scary and dreadful one, yet he said- he will not fear.

JESUS called his disciples fearful(not because the situation was not scary enough) but because He expected them not to be afraid knowing that He is in the boat with them. They were afraid they could loose their lives. This is the reason you must be very sure Jesus is in your life. If He is truly in you, no untimely death can take you.You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.1 John  4:4  

To overcome fear in the face of dreadful SITUATION, you must know that:

1. Jesus is in your boat (life), hence, nothing or no one can destroy you.

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. (John 10:28-29)

2. Jesus cannot be intimidated or defeated by any circumstances.

3. Jesus is the word that created the world, hence, He has authority over all things and everyone. He is  in charge. Everything in heaven and on earth will obey Him. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Mathew 28:18

Bible reading: Mathew 8:23-27.

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 portray...

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
