HOLD YOUR PEACE

Text: Exodus 14:14

 *The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.* 

 *It will take an unwavering faith in God for anyone to hold his or her peace in times of troubles.* 
It is in holding your peace that you come into great victory.

So many have lost their blessings and testimonies simply because they could not hold their Peace. 

The Israelites were faced with a life threatening situation at the red sea. Pharaoh's army were behind them and the red sea before them. They had two choice. It's either they choose to run into the red sea and get drowned or wait for Pharaoh's army to kill them. 

In the midst of this horrible and fearful circumstances, the first reaction of the Israelites was ranting and complaining. In great fear and panick they chided Moses saying, 
"Is not this the word that we did tell you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness" (Exodus 14:12)

What would your reactions be when confronted with such challenging situations like that of Israelites- red sea before you and furious soldiers behind you? *To know a man that has faith in God, you need to see him handle challenges.* Many thought that faith is only a receiving medium. No! Faith in God goes beyond asking and receiving. See Hebrew 11, you will see that the old saints use their faith to overcome challenges than receiving "candy" from the Lord. Many of the "Faiths" many believers are proclaiming today are simply "Candy Faith" It's give-give me kind of Faith.

As for Moses, he knew the one whom he believed. He replied the people's fearful complaint with an encouraging words of Faith.  "...Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever".Exodus 14:13

Are you going through challenging moment in your life today, just receive the grace to stand in Peace and hold your peace. *Holding your peace in the face of challenge is a great display of your Faith in God.* 

 *BIBLE READING* : Exodus 14:8-14.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, help me to always see you clearly during my challenging moment so that I can always hold my Peace.

2. Father I turn in all my battles unto you, fight for me so that I can hold my peace.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
