AT YOUR WITS END?(1)

Text : Luke 5:5 

And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net_* 

I can remember one hilarious moment when my little boy was trying to solve a particular problem and from the blues he just yelled " I quit" He said it with all sense of seriousness- "I quit"

This boy passed a " *Quit Notice* " on himself. He gave up trying because he was tired of meeting walls and dead end. He didn't believe he could solve that particular problem again. After several trials and attempts, he quit. 

While a child would boldly say and shout out his own quit notice, so many matured ones express theirs in different forms of emotions and attitudes- anger, hate, loneliness, isolation and withdrawal, depression, suicidal thoughts and attempts, moodiness, confusion, lack of focus, tiredness, fatigue e.t.c

Are you at your wits end?

Are you feeling like yelling "I quit" like that little boy?

 *Then it is time to become vulnerable with Jesus our Merciful and Faithful High Priest. (Hebrew 2:17)* 

Are you tired of waiting on God for a particular need! Constant disappointments, failures, character flaws, sin and inability to break off from a particular addiction, undesirable status and estate?

Common, tell it to Jesus exactly how and where it hurts! Cry and yell like my little boy "I quit". 

The moment my little boy shouted "I quit" I could understand his frustration and vulnerability. He uttered the struggles in his mind and he recieved help. I quickly reached out to him.

Don't get it twisted. Telling God about your vulnerabilities, fears and frustrations does not mean you are lacking in faith. In fact hiding your struggles away from GOD is a show of self reliance, pride and arrogance.

Jesus did the same thing my little boy did. Our Lord, on three consecutive times went to the Father and told Him about how He feels about the cup(crucifixion) He was to be served.

What's on your mind? Stop bottling up. Cry to Jesus for Help. This is not time to be playing religious pranks around your WAYMAKER and HELPER. While you know He is the Almighty, it is possible you have quit trusting Him sometimes ago. It is possible you have silently retire without anyone around you knowing about it.

_He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”Mathew_ 26:29

Our Lord opened up to the Father how He felt. Don't forget He was indwelt in by the Holy Spirit.

Open up how and where it hurts before the Lord and you will receive Real help today.

Jesus went before the Lord three good times before His burden can be lifted. You too should go as many times as possible, till your burden is lifted.

 *Go before Your Father and stop hiding the fact that you have gotten to your wits end.* 

Now, You must Go!

Bible reading: Mark 9:21-25

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Tell the FATHER exactly HOW and WHERE it hurts. Tell Him about your struggles and 

2.Ask Him for Mercy.

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
