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...

DECEITFULNESS OF SIN 2

TEXT. Hebrews 3:13  *But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin* .  *While deceit is a sin, Sin itself is deceitful.* Sin has the capacity to lure a man to do stuffs. *One of the major vices of the devil is to make sin appear attractive and unharmfult.* If Eve could see what the consequences of eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would be, she would have resisted the deception of the man of sin. She was simply deceived.Gen, 3:6 While it is no news that all sinners are already condemned to deceitfulness of sin, it is sad to know that many children of God (like Adam and Eve), are being easily deceived by Sin. See the case of Ananias and Sapphira, Acts 5:1-13. Many Christians today are still playing the same game of smartness this couple played. I call it smartness because that was what they thought they were doing. While they thought they were smart, Peter knew that Satan h...
