MURMURING

Text : 1 Corinthians  10:10  

Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

Murmuring opens one up to the destroyer. It's a sin that God frowns at, and a sin you must frown at too.

Every sin man commits gives the devil a foothold to operate in his life. This is why James 4:7 says *Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.* For the devil to flee from you, you've got to do two things- 
1.) Submit to God
2.) Resist the devil.

One way to resist the devil is by not giving him a foothold ( through sin) to operate in your life.

Now, it's clear from our text that murmurers give the destroyer a license to operate in their lives.

None of the Isrealites who murmured in the wilderness made it to the promised land, they all perished in the wilderness. Numbers 26:64-65.

These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down as a warning for us in whom the culmination of the ages has been attained. 1 Corinthians 10:11.

There may always be a legit reason to murmur, but when such reason arose, instead of murmuring or complaining,  turn it to prayer and table it as request before Him. 
 
 *Bible Reading:*

Matthew 8:23-27.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father, I am sorry for ways I have murmured in the past, please forgive me. 

2.) Father, I receive the grace to desist from murmurings and to be grateful for what you have blessed me with.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
