DON'T BE ANXIOUS

Text: Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

God's words strongly  warned us to be anxious for *nothing.* Nothing means nothing. No matter the situation you find yourself, God wants you to be anxious for nothing. 

No one can stop anxiety by sheer will power, it takes a supernatural assistance from God to overcome this monster. Hence, the need for you to always lay all the details of your life, your  concerns and challenges before the Lord in prayer.

So, you can either choose to hold your request to yourself as concerns, anxieties or worries, or as prayer before the Lord.   

In everything, BY PRAYER and SUPPLICATION , with THANKSGIVING  let your REQUESTS be MADE KNOWN to GOD*  (Philippians 4:6).

The antidote to worries and anxieties is Prayer. Take everything to the Lord in Prayer.

You must learn to tell God everything  about every everything in your life. By so doing, you will be assured of His peace guarding your mind and heart always.

Anxiety will either keep you away from Praying and Believing in God, or Praying and Believing in God will keep you away from Anxiety.* The choice is always yours. You may chose to pray or to worry.


Bible Reading: Luke 4:1-12.
 
PRAYER FOCUS

Father Lord, I receive the grace to overcome all anxiety in the place of prayer in Jesus name.

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
