THE DRIED BROOK

Text : 1 Kings 17:4. 

And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

We did mention yesterday that even if God has led you to a place or someone, it doesn't mean that you should make them your Alpha and Omega.

There's time and season for everything. It is your responsibility to know where God wants you to be at every material time.

The water brook that God sent Elijah to got dried up eventually. Elijah could coil in and start complaining to God on how He allowed the water brook to dry up. He could also sit there and be digging unnecessarily in search of water. But thank God he didn't do any of the above. What he did is what you should also do when the going gets tough. 

1.) *He waited.* God can only deal with waiters. He told us severally in His words to wait on Him. Psalms 27;14, Psalms 37:34. Elijah waited to hear what God will say to him after the water brook dried up.

You should learn to always wait on God to hear His instructions concerning every details of your life.

2.) He listened : It's one thing to hear, it's another thing to listen. God is always ready to speak to you, but are you always ready to listen? It's not everything we hear that we listen to. To listen is to pay attention with the intent of obeying.

When the brooks of life seem dry, know that it is time to listen attentively to what the master has to say. He doesn't leave His own high and dry. He is a shepherd that always leads His own to the still waters. Psalms 23:2. When He leads, you have to follow. 

Wait on Him and patiently listen, He will lead you to your next phase of miracles.

Bible  Reading:

 1 Kings 17:1-24.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, please help me to always listen to your voice and to obey it to the letter.

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...
