I SHALL RISE AGAIN

Text : Micah 7:8

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

*As long as God's breath remains in you, you must keep hope alive even in the face of great adversity.* You must know that there is always a rising up for you even when you fall.

Our text says, "when I fall..." and not "If I fall..." because it is certain there would always be a down and dark times in one's life. It is at this time, your enemy likes to rejoice over you.

For instance, David's down and dark time happened when he left his throne because his son, Absalom committed treason against him.

This season was a challenging moment in his life. While David and his men were on the run, a man by the name Shimei accosted them and began to curse king David.

Shimei cursed King David and said to him, _"...Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue! The LORD has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!" (2 Samuel 16:7-8)_

You can imagine someone cursing and uttering such statement against you in time of your trouble. Such is a type of an enemy rejoicing over one during a challenging time.

Just as the text says, (Micah 7:8), David rose again from his fall and the Lord became his light. His throne was restored to him and the rejoicing of Shimei over him was put to naught.

May the Lord also raise you from your fall and be your light in your dark season 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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured. Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3. He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well. Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.* The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically, there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
