PATIENCE 2

-


Text:  Proverbs 16:32 


 *A patient man does not become angry quickly. He is better than a strong man. A man like that is better than a soldier who beats the enemies in a city.* 


 *A patient man is better than a strong man. Patience can cook a stone soft.* 


Patience is a virtue. To know If you are  patient, check your anger gauge.


Being slow to get angry compares to great understanding; as being quick-tempered compares to stupidity. Pro 14:29.


The Bible contrasts patience with pride.

 ```Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.``` Ecclesiastes  7:8 


Now, note that there is a kind of patience a Christian should have towards God. When you pray, you are to wait patiently for answers. 


In fact, patience is needed in order for you to possess your soul. 

 ```In your patience possess ye your souls.``` Luke  21:19.


But, the patience we are talking about today has to do more with your relationship with other humans. 


God wants you to exercise patience with your fellow humans. Patience is God's character,  it's the very first quality that was highlighted in 1 Corinthians 13:4. 


As God's child, let His DNA of patience run in you towards His other children. 


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, I  receive grace to be patient towards all in Jesus name. 


 *Bible Reading* 

1 Sam. 13:1-14.

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
