GOD'S EYE GLASSES

Text : Psalms 90:12  

 *So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom* 

 *One major teaching every man needs, is the wisdom to know how to number his days* .

It takes God's grace and wisdom upon a man to be able to know that he is not going to be here(on earth) forever. Hence, you need to learn how to apply your heart unto wisdom. To do this, you need God's eye glasses. This will help you to start seeing and doing things in light of ETERNITY.

 *Though man is living in TIME, but he is an ETERNAL being* 

The Hebrew word *'manah'* which was translated as *number* in Psalm 90:12 can also mean to consider, count or prepare. So we can read the verse thus:

 _Teach us to count our days....._ 

 _Teach us to consider our days....._ 

 _Teach us to prepare our days....._ 

This means that your stay on this side of eternity is within a very short time frame. Hence, you need the teachings of God to be able to count, consider and prepare it. 

If you have ever used someone's recommended eye glasses, you may wonder what is the use of the eye glasses, because you have good sight. Some other times, when you use a recommended glasses that is not yours, it makes you see things the way the user sees it. In the same manner *When you take on God's eye glasses you see the way God sees. It makes you see everything in view of eternity.* With the aid of God's eye glasses, you gain eternal perspective of your existence while you are living within the frame of time.

God's eye glasses is the only thing that will help you See the hope that God is calling you into. This is the living and lively HOPE. The very hope that does not fade away. The Hope of eternal life can only be seen through God's eye glasses. 1 Peter 1:3.

God's eye glasses will help you to carefully consider the shortness of your time on earth, so that you can prepare your days and apply your heart unto wisdom. 

What then is God's eye glasses? God sees and judges through His Word. Jesus Christ (being the express image of God and His word) is God's eye glasses. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:John 5:22, John 1:1, Heb. 1:1-3.

 *The teachings that help you apply your unto wisdom are the teachings that emanate from Christ* . As you keep hearing Christ, wisdom keeps entering your heart, for Christ is the wisdom of God. (1 Cor. 1:24, Colossians 3:16).

 *Everything that the world stands for, celebrates and exalts will fade away as you look through God's eye glasses.* 

As you keep following the commands of Christ, you are able to see exactly how God sees. Then your heart will become wise. You must know that:

*Eternity is in your heart, therefore stop living as though you are a temporal being* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Pray that God will help your heart grasp the clear picture of eternity.

Bible Reading: 2 Peter 3:10-15.

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
