DON'T BE WEAK

TEXT : Romans 4:19 

 *And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:* 

 *God's promise is Yes and Amen always. He has never failed because He can never fail.*  But for every of His promise to you, you need faith to receive it.

Little wonder Hebrews 11:6 says *without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him.* 

Faith is one commodity you can't afford to joke with as a child of God. 

By nature, man only believes in what he can see and touch. But as a child of God,  you are not supposed to dwell within the natural realm but in the spiritual. 

In God's kingdom, we live by Faith and not by sight. 2 Cor. 5:7. 
A number of times, we are been limited and cheated because of the "seen realities". 

 *When you dwell on your senses, you get your faith weakened.* 

Humanly speaking,  Abraham's faith should  have been weakened by the obvious realities surrounding him.
The Bible says, his body was as good as dead, He was well stricken in age ( almost 100years of age), and his wife's womb was already dead. Rom. 4:19. Yet he goes about telling people that his name is Abraham, Father of many nations.

Abraham refused to allow his present situation to define his ultimate destination. 

Like Abraham, *do not allow your present situation define your destination.*  

Abraham was able to enter into the plan and purpose of God for his life because he was not weakened in faith.

The only time you will know whether you have a weak or strong faith is when you are faced with challenges. 

Proverbs 24:10 says If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

To have a strong faith is simply to take God at His words regardless of the seemingly obvious realities. 

God is not limited by your challenges or circumstances. Not believing God in the face of difficulties is simply saying those circumstances are bigger than God.

Do not be weak in faith,  regardless of the situation,  God is more than able to do what He says He will do.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Tell God to forgive you in every way you have disbelieved Him in the past.

2. Ask for Grace to wholly lean on His words in all situations. 

 *Bible Reading* Romans 4:13-25.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

THE GREATEST

Text : Matthew 18:4   *Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.*   *Being the greatest in the kingdom is not about what you do but who you are.* Jesus pointed out here that little children are humble beings. Hence, what qualifies a person as the greatest in the kingdom of heaven is humility. Little children are both lowly and meek. These are qualities that does not come naturally to an adult. For instance, when you bring a little child from a wealthy background to live in a very poor home with another poor little child, he will gladly comply without any struggle. He will never complain or compare. He will simply adapt and gladly receive all the low and impoverished treatments. No adult or grown up child can accept this so easily.  That is the reason Jesus did not ask us to be converted and become as a child but ' *little child* '   _And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be co...
