BE EMPTY

-

Text : John 2:6-7

 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

The six water pots commanded Jesus's attention basically because ;
They were empty (available to be used)

The water pot was not fit to be used because  it was normally used to wash leg (John 2:6), yet Jesus used it to perform the miracle because it was empty. 
Jesus  only perform wonder with empty vessels.He may not be able to do anything special with you if you are full(of yourself).

 Jesus didn't call you because you were qualified, He qualified you so you could be useful because you are available. Are you really available for Him?

The same water pot people used to wash legs now became useful to serve wine even for governor because it was available and empty. 

 There is no one Jesus cannot use . All He needs is your availability. Let the dirty water leave the pot of your life and be empty for His use. 

The pot was serving purpose before but not the ultimate purpose of God. But when it became empty  and available to Jesus. It discovered the  ultimate purpose of God . It serves sweet wine to all and sundry, the couole and governor  of the feast as well. John 2:8.

 _And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it._   

When you Present your desire and ambition before God and  lay all at His feet,  He will use you to perform  miracle and wonders.

Jesus will be attracted to you when you are empty in his presence. He will fill you and make you a blessing 


 Prayer focus: 
 I empty my life to you  Lord Jesus. Fill it and use it for your glory in Jesus name


Bible Reading : 2 Kings  4:1-7.

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
