CAREFUL EXAMINATION 3

-

Text:  1Kings 3:21. 


 *The next morning, I got up to nurse my son, and he was dead. But when I examined him carefully in the light of day, he turned out not to be my son whom I had borne!”* 


 *A number of times, we accept the enemy's orchestration as fate, whereas the plans and purpose of God for our lives are good and never evil.*


We are still looking at the life of the prostitute that God blessed with a man child, which was changed for a dead son while she slept.


When she woke up, she met a dead son by her side.

 It's possible that now that you are awake, your marriage is dead, or your career is dead, or your vision is dead. It may appear as though all hope is lost. But hold on a bit and examine it again.


The woman said, ```But when I examined him carefully in the light of day, he turned out not to be my son whom I had born!``` 


Imagine that the woman didn't take the pain to carefully examine the child, she would have accepted the dead child as her fate.


Beloved,  take time to carefully examine your life and know if the enemy had sowed tares among your wheat.


 *But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.* Matthew  13:25. 

Do not accept the plantings of the enemy as your destiny, wake up from your slumber and take what is rightfully yours.


Now, a number of times you don't have the wherewithal, the strength to retrieve your lost vision and glory. But you can do what this woman did.- Report the matter to the king.


The King of Kings is ready and able to fight your battles for you. Take all of your burdens to Him for He cares for you. 


Even where you have rendered yourself as a lawful captive to the enemy,  hear God's word concerning you -


Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? note

But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.  Isaiah 49:24-25.



 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Lord,  by your resurrection power,  I  receive back everything that the enemy has stolen from   my life in Jesus name. 



 *Bible Reading* 


1 Kings 3:16-28.

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
