JESUS OUR PEACE

-

 Text : Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

 Jesus does not only give us peace, He is essentially our PEACE. He is the very author of PEACE for as many as received Him. In this world wherein we live, there are so many reasons to be troubled and thrown off balance. But the Prince of peace Himself is always by your side to provide you with the much needed peace.

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 

 One day Jesus was on the sea with His disciples, and there arose a life threatening boisterous wind. Nothing on earth could take away peace like being on a boat that is about to sink. Perhaps, you are on such boat as you are reading now. I want to ask you to simply call on Jesus in Faith. 

 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.Mark 4:37. You will wonder what should be the appropriate response of people in this kind of situation(boat).

 ".....Jesus' disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” Mark 4:38. This seems to be the natural approach and reaction from any normal human being. But Jesus' response negates such fearful response even in the face of life threatening situations. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Mark 4;40 

 Today, if you have the Prince of Peace in your boat(life), you have no reason to be afraid but simply have FAITH IN Him.There is no situation He can't handle. 

 Nothing in this world can wreck the boat(life) Jesus is sitting in. Even while they interrupted his sleep, he woke up with confidence and rebuked the wind(Problem). 

AS YOU PREPARE FOR THE COMING YEAR, SETTLE IT IN YOUR HEART THAT NOTHING WILL WRECK YOUR BOAT; SIMPLY BECAUSE, YOU WILL BY FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS REBUKE EVERY BOISTEROUS WIND THAT COMES YOUR WAY. 

WISHING YOU A GLORIOUS & JOY-FILLED 2021 IN ADVANCE

Bible Reading: Mark 4:35-40

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
