UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Psalm 23:5
When the blind Bartholomew is in the book of Mark 10:49-52 was uncomfortable with his life, he screamed and asked Jesus to have mercy on him and he received freedom from the childhood blindness. The Isrealites after so many years of toiling and slavery, they become comfortable in the land of Egypt after spending years in slavery. They cried unto God and He used Moses to deliver them. In Matthew 14:28-30 Peter was willing to use his faith when he saw Jesus walking on water He said And Peter answered him and said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship,he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him. Jabez who was called by the name "pain" cried unto the Lord. Chronicles 4:10 says and Jabez called on God of Isreal, saying,O that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me, from evil,that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. I do not know the uncomfortable situation you have right now, but God that changed the name of Jabez and turn around the captivity of the Isrealites will help you today. Just please, call on His name and He will answer you, in the name of Jesus.
FlESH MUST DIE
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof Romans 13:14
The greatest battle man must fight to be victorious in life is the battle of self. We are sometimes our greatest enemy. As people do say the enemy within is greater than "the enemy. Outside". And this is so true, The reason many people are defeated today is because they have not put their flesh into subjection. Paul wrote "But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection, lest, that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1Corinthians 9:27
The flesh is in charge of many lives today and when it comes to the things of God. The flesh will take no for an answer. Beloved, we need to understand that the flesh does not want to do anything that is hard He just want a relaxation atmosphere. Flesh will always run away from fasting, it cannot deny itself of sleep. The attitude of I must have 8hrs of sleep in a day. is in many Christian today. It is difficult for flesh to wake up in the middle of night and pray. Beloved, the Bible says "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11. One of the wiles of the devil is to plague people through the lust of the flesh and make them loose focus of what God desire of them.
Beloved, the Bible says we should put on the Lord Jesus Christ which is our weapon against the lust of the flesh. You need to put on the whole amour of God, then you will be able to conquer the battle against the flesh.
CHOOSE LIFE
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live; Deuteronomy 30:19
The life we live now depends on how you want your end to be. God allows us to live according to what we choose to do our lives according to do with it at the end of the day. God has made everything we need according to His will and he has given us one thing, the power to choose what we want and what way to follow. The Bible says,I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life;....God find it important to tell us to choose life. But many people are not ready to conform to this. Some are choosing what they feel is good for them not caring about the consequence of their choice on their life and others. Some just want to live for today and forget about tomorrow. They believe that tomorrow will take care of itself. Let just live today. Are you one of them? If you do live for today, where do you end up tomorrow? Everyone can make choice in life but one thing is certain; every choice has its consequence whether good or bad. No matter the choice you make in life be ready to bear the consequences. There is no excuse for it so therefore think of the consequences first before making any choice in life. Like Joshua; choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve....But as for me and my house,we serve the God. With your entire family and resources. Then you will surely reap the reward of obedience.
