TRUST 2

-
Text :Job  13:15.

 *Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.* 

Today  we shall be looking at Job's resolution in the face of his predicament.

Job made up his mind to do two things even if God slay(kill) him:

1. He will yet trust in Him.

2. He will yet 
maintain his own ways before the Lord.

By this two profound statements, Job demonstrated his highest level of trust and commitment towards God. He also resolved never to be offended with God, but to maintain his own ways before the Lord.

 *When you find yourself in a predicaments, all you need do is trust in the Lord, rather than being offended with people around you or with God.* 

Though the main problem (trial) of Job was initiated by the devil, yet he did not arrogate his predicament to anyone. Job knew too well that nothing happens without God's consent.
In the same vein, the best way to deal with all oppositions, predicaments, challenges and temptation is to know that nothing happens to a true child of God without God's knowledge. (Lamentation 3:37). When you arm yourself with this knowledge, it helps you take a position with God, and as you do, God becomes your avenger. (Rom 12:19).

As you align yourself with God in full Trust in Him, He avenges you. He will show up for you. He will fight your battles. 

May you find grace to TRUST in the Lord again. 

 
Bible Reading : Daniel 3:16-18.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, give me grace and strength not to be offended in you.

2. Father, help me to trust you though I may not understand what you are taking me through.

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
