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...

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...
