TRUST

Text :Job  13:15  

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

While Faith and Trust could mean the same in certain scenario, there is still a thin line of difference between the two words. *When Faith says, "I believe my God will do it", Trust simply says "come what may, I rest and believe in God's unchanging Nature"* 

Trust in God, does not only believe in God's abilities and powers, but it does believe in God's sovereignty and Faithfulness. So, because you trust God, you will always rest in His unchanging  faithfulness and love towards you.

An ancient servant of God by the name Job was in a very difficult situation to the point that his wife asked him to curse God and die. (Job 2:9).
Job so much trusted in God that he believed that if he has collected good from God, he must also collect evil from him. Though, this understanding may be short of who God is, yet Job decided to defend God even in the face of unpleasant and unfortunate situation. The scripture says, "He did not sin with his lips" Job 2:10.

All through the time of Job's ordeal, he did not hear anything from God until he was fully "DONE"-
I mean until God has fully fulfilled His will in Job, he did not hear anything from the Lord. He came to a point where he submitted Himself to God unconditionally. Hence, he said, though He slay me, yet will I trust Him *No matter the level of Faith Job could have applied during his trying period, nothing will happen until he completes his test curriculum.*  

When you come into or find yourself in difficult situations, the first thing to do is to ensure that your heart does not resent God. You must fight tooth and nail to ensure you are not offended in God in times of difficulties. Mathew 11:6.

Job decided to trust in God's sovereignty, he wouldn't sin against God in his difficult time, rather he decided to maintain his own ways before the Lord.

What are you going through today?

Does it seems like God is silent on you?

May you find grace to Trust the Lord in the face of your challenges, trials and temptations. May the Lord strengthen you not to be offended in Him. Only those who are not offended in Him shall be blessed.
 
Bible Reading : Daniel 3:16-18.

PRAYER POINT
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 and allowing me to go 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
