BE CALM & LISTEN-2

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"

In the midst of your turbulence and storm, *God always want you to maintain your calm. This will enable you hear the still small voice which always guarantee your Peace.* 

The windstorm, earthquake and the fire that prophet Elijah saw represented the tribulations he was encountering at that point in time. 

In all of these, God was never in any of it.  He only appeared to Elijah in still small voice. 

You must know and be rest assured that when you find yourself in the midst of tribulations, God's still small voice is all that you need.

Jesus once showed us the path of response to tribulations. This is the only path that guarantees God's still small voice. 

God's designated path to overcoming tribulation is PEACE!
Jesus assured you of His Peace in tribulations. He said,
 _"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."_ (John 16:33).

Jesus said, " _these things have I spoken to you..."_  These things that He spoke to His disciples are spoken in a still-small voice. It is this still small voice that brings you PEACE.

When you are able to hear and respond to God's still small voice, your trust in Him increases, and when your trust in God grows, your mind stays on Him, when your mind stays on Him; God's Peace rules and reigns in your life.
 *_You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed [on You, Because he trusts in You._ (Isaiah 26:3)* 

If you are in need of God's intervention today, just set yourself before Him until you hear His still small voice.

 *Bible  Reading : 1 Kings  19:1-14.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, please grant me the grace to always seek and pay more attention to your still-small voice in my life than the windstorm, earthquake and fire that are threatening 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 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.

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
