MORE THAN ENOUGH-2

-

Text : 2 Kings 4:3 

He told her, “Go out to all of your neighbors in the surrounding streets and borrow lots of pots from them. Don't get just a few empty vessels, either.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us._ (Ephesians 3:20).

Note that while God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think; God's workings in your life is according to the power that works in you. And that power is His. 

The only thing you have to do is simply allow the power of God work in you. *The power of God at work in you is the Holy Spirit.When you allow Him, He will do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or imagine.

The major hindrance to the workings of God's power in you is yourself. I mean your mindset. You often undermine the operations of God's Spirit in your life by your reasoning. (2King 7:1-2).

The text we are considering stated the instruction given to the widow- "Go borrow lots of pots... Don't get just a few empty vessels..." 

The quantity of oil she received was dependent on the quantity of vessel she made available. 

In the same way, the quantity of God's power at work in you is determined by the level of your availability to Him.* The only thing that makes you unavailable for the Spirit's infilling, and indwelling is your mindset.

The widow's oil stopped flowing the moment the vessel was exausted. As long as you are available, God is also willing to allow His Spirit flow through you.

Make yourself available unto God and He shall continuously flow through you!

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 4:1-7.


PRAYER FOCUS

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
