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 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
