TAKE YOUR PROBLEMS TO GOD.

Text: Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

What do you do when you have a problem? Do you worry? Most of us do. But does worrying solve the problem? No, it doesnt. If worrying doesn’t solve the problem, then, why worry?

Jabez gave us a correct model for solving problem. (1 Chronicles 4:9-10).

Though he was named Jabez because of the painful situation that surrounded  his birth, but he confronted his situations and addressed it in the place of prayer.

Often than not, we tend to worry about our problems instead of running to the throne of mercy to receive Grace and mercy as promised in the word of God. (Hebrews 4:16) *Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.*

Jabez, instead of worryingmade God his first point of call, rather than a last resort like many people do.

Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested (1 Chronicles 4:10).

Jabez got his problem solved by approaching God in the place of prayer. Prayer is one key way of getting your problem resolved.

King Hezekiah (of Israel) who was used to taking his problems directly to God, took the threat of king Assyria's invasion to the Lord in prayer. God answered miraculously, and caused this powerful king to be defeated (2King 19).

Always *Turn to God first with your problems, for only Him is capable of handling them in a way that will be in your best interest.*

 *Bible Reading:* 

1 Chronicles 4:9- 10.

 *Prayer Focus:* 

Father Lord, thank you for always answering my prayers; I pray that  you  save me from troubles brought on me by the enemy and  keep me close to you through Jesus Christ Amen.

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...
