TAKE CHARGE


Text: Mark  9:24  


 *And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.*


For the father of the child in our text to take  his son to the disciples of Christ, shows to a degree that he believed that they can heal his child.


When he didn't get the desired result, he carried the child straight to Jesus. This also shows that he believed Jesus can heal his child. 

A number of times ,we make efforts because we hope to get desired results.  

However, this efforts will be futile if it is not accompanied with absolute trust in the power of God to make our hopes come true.


Today, we want to glean a lesson or two from the life of this father.


It's obvious the child could not help himself. If his father had not taken it upon himself to take charge of his life he would have died a painful death from a dumb spirit.


 *God had committed some seemingly helpless individuals into your care, if you will not take charge over their lives nothing will be done.* 


It was recorded concerning the child that the spirit has often thrown him into fire and into water to destroy him. Mark 9:22.


This is the same ploy the devil is using till today. His intention is to destroy the lives of men. 

John 10:10  says *The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy. I’ve come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.* 


But God is counting on you to arise like the father of that child and carry the case of your children, your siblings, your friends, your colleagues etc to Jesus. 


 *Jesus is able and willing to deliver as many as will call upon Him for help.* 

He says *Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.* Jeremiah  33:3.


Don't live your life on the mercy of another  take charge today and carry yourself to the only one who is mighty to save and deliver- Jesus Christ the Mighty redeemer.



 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father Lord, give me the grace to trust in your unfailing love always. 


2. Father, please take evil heart of unbelief away from me.

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 portray...

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
