BE CALM & LISTEN

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 was on the run from Jezebel for his dear life due to life threatening utterances he had received. 

While on the run, the Lord provided for him through the hand of an angel, he journeyed for forty days and forty nights  in the strength of the meal he received twice from the angel.

Elijah fled for the fear of losing his dear life to the wicked Jezebel. Though, the Lord fed him, but He asked him twice about what he was doing on that journey. 
 *That you are enjoying God's provision, is not a guarantee that God approves of your life or your life's journey.* 

After the Lord had asked him, "What are you doing here?" The Lord asked him to go stand before Him on the mountain. 

A mighty windstorm hit the mountain, but the Lord wasn't in it. After this, earthquake and fire came, but the Lord was neither in these.

There could be  happenings and shakings in your life like mighty windstorm, earthquake and fire which the Lord knows that they are not able to wreck or destroy you. Hence, such are not worth your attention because the Lord is not in them. Do not listen to such threats.

Prophet Elijah responded to the windstorm, earthquake and fire issued by Queen Jezebel without listening to God's still small voice.

 *It is extremely important to listen to God's still-small voice than trembling at  windstorm, earthquake and fire that are threatening your life.* 

 *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 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...
