What Next? (2)

Text : Philippians 3:14 

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

When you don't have clear picture of the end in mind, you may likely miss the mark. May we not run amiss in Jesus name. 

Apostle Paul knew what he was aiming at. He ran with an end in mind. He pressed toward the mark. He was so purposeful and intentional about His *PURSUIT.* He ran for the prize of the high calling. The question you need to ask yourself today is: What am I running for? What am I living for? How do I see my life in the NOW and Hereafter? 

You must understand that you are an eternal being. Your soul is the only thing you have that outlive and outspan this present world. It is so much more precious and weighted than the world.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?Mark 8:36-37

Knowing that your soul is eternal. Why then would you be using eternal element(soul), to be serving the ephemerals  and mundane? Though you may use your soul for the ephemera, yet it cannot find satisfaction and fulfillment. It can only find full expression in the ONE who has created "her" 

Because there is eternity in your soul, you must learn not to use your soul for the mundane and ephemera.Luke 12:15

Your soul must be reserved for the utmost and glorious use of God. While your soul could connect with the physical things, it must not be expended on it. Don't spend your soul on this world. God wants you to love Him with All your soul. And you shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all thy soul.....Mark 12:30. The demand for us is to love God with the whole of your soul.

 *Watch It! Your soul is preserved for eternity, only if  you use the whole of it to love the Lord.* 

Bible reading: Proverbs 3:1-35.

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
