BELIEVING IN THE FACE OF FEAR

Text* :Mark 5:36

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe._ 

Jesus told Jairus not to be afraid but only Believe. Jesus is still uttering the same statement to you today: *Fear Not, only Believe* 

With all the happenings all around you, your failing health, loss of job and investment,  debts, effects of the pandemic on your business, and so on. The tendency for fear and  panic is very high. But in all, we must not allow fear in our hearts, for fear is a tormentor.

From Mark 5 record, Jairus beckoned on Jesus to come help heal his child who is at the point of death. On their way to Jairus' house, bad news came to Jairus that  his daughter had died. Jesus heard this and quickly interrupted the Bad news even before Jairus could profess it, " *Fear Not, Only Believe* "

Jesus knew that there is tendency for Jairus to be afraid. In the same vein, we also stand the chance of being fearful in the midst of all the challenges confronting us today. But Jesus is calling on you to Only Believe Him at this time.

The presence of Jesus may not  always shield us from facing adversity, but it always delivers us from all troubles and adversity._ 

 *Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.* 

This time, we must know that our Lord is with us And He will always come through for us come what may. We are right in the hollow of His hands. 

 *Though Jesus is with us but we have the responsibility to BELIEVE HIM and not to exercise Fear.* 

Bible reading :Mark 5:35-43.

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...
