IT'S INTENTIONAL

Text: Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called, according to his purpose.

An American singer (Travis Greene)  once sang: _All things are working for my good, 'cause He's intentional....._  That is just the summary of our text today. God is intentional about your life. 

All that happens to God's children are always within the bracket of God's workings. If God is so detailed enough to number the hairs on your head, then He is concerned about every minute detail of your life. 

_But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:30_  You must settle it in your heart that Jehovah sees and knows all of your good and bad times. He is so concerned about you and all yours.

Whenever you are going through fire or any unpalatable situations, two questions you need to ask yourself is:

1. Do I love God?

2. Am I the called, according to His purpose?

Your ability to answer these questions in the affirmative: Yes, will go a long way in helping you know that all things are working for your good because He's intentional about you. Every detail of your life is in His palms.  That is the reason your fingerprint is unique to you in the whole universe. 

Your pains, delays, and waiting time are all working together for your good.

When Joseph was sold by his brothers, implicated by Potiphar's wife, and condemned to Prison by Potiphar, little did he know that all these ordeals were working together for His good because God was intentional about lifting him. 

You may know part of your story but not all, the conclusion of what God is working out for you may even extend beyond your lifetime.

See the case of Stephen. Little did he know that his martyrdom would lead to the salvation of the great Apostle, Paul. 

God is not in time, hence He's not in a hurry to conclude all storylines in one's lifetime, but He's always on time.

There are many saints looking down from heaven all to see how great and famous their names have become even after their demise. 

You must settle it in your heart that God is intentional about your life. Once you love Him and you are the called, according to His purpose, then ALL THINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD.


Bible Reading: Genesis 45:1-5.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
