WHEN YOUR LIFE IS THREATENED

           BIBLE CHALLENGE (Day Four)

         WHEN YOUR LIFE IS THREATENED
                      (Matthew 8:23-27)

The peril and perplexity of the disciples in this voyage; and in this appeared the truth of what Christ had just now said, that those who follow him must count upon difficulties, Mt 8:20.

Christ will save none but those that are willing to take him for their Lord; for he is a Prince and a Saviour.  

The power and grace of Jesus Christ put forth for their succour: then the Lord Jesus awaked, as one refreshed, Ps 78:65.

 Christ may sleep when his church is in a storm, but he will not out-sleep himself: the time, the set time to favour His distressed church, will come (Psalms 102:13). 

Christ reproved them first, and then delivered them; this is his method, to prepare us for a mercy, and then to give it us.

Even death cannot destroy God’s purposes.

 Jesus is raised up out of death, established as ruler of heaven and earth. 

I can’t promise you that you won’t be overwhelmed by forces that threaten your life.

 I can promise you that God will re-establish his reign over the earth through Jesus, his anointed ruler. 

Be wise, but don’t cower in fear before the forces that threaten you. 

When you’re struggling to trust, feeling like someone of little faith, keep your eye in the bigger promise: the certainty of God’s reign.

WHEN I WAS A CHILD...

"Any pastor who buys jet, any pastor who has a school, any pastor who ordains his wife a pastor won't enter heaven." As much as l don't totally support owing a personal private jet (because of the expenses on it, most especially the hanger, comparing that with the number of times it's needed to be used), but sometimes, out of over zealousness or present low of understanding, we preach certain things, but when we get to some levels, we realize those things are just non-essentials_ they are not part of the Gospel but mere man baseless understanding, misconception or personal interpretation that doesn't relate with the mind of Christ. The wife of a pastor, if she's into the ministry alongside with her husband, doesn't need to be poured anointing oil upon. She's the pastor to the women directly in the church (as the women leader or coordinator) working directly with her husband for the perfection of the church and it's the Holy Ghost ba...

GET HIM TO ASSIST YOU (SINGLES AND MARRIED)

Image
 TO SINGLES AND MARRIED  I can't blame a man whose wife is home all through the day while he leaves home 5/6am only to come back 6/7pm. But if both are working, no excuse. Another thing is, after wedding, if the woman is also working as the man, yiu don't go about doing all the chores while he sits or sleeps. By the time you take in or start having children, you will understand better but it may just be too late to bring him back to be assisting you. Politely request for his assistance as you work. While you cook, let him help in mopping, cleaning the electronics, tables, etcetera Washing dishes doesn't take away his manhood. Pounding or turning fufu or eba or Amala or semo doesn't reduce his anointing. I still turned fufu yesterday and my wife was so glad seeing the smoothness. Obviously, some ladies are the architect of their own problem in that they excuse their husbands in helping out and with time, the man becomes relax... By the way, his wife is alway capable... S...

BEWARE OF RED FLAGS DURING COURTSHIP

Image
BEWARE OF RED FLAGS DURING COURTSHIP  I learnt (read) of one lady whose husband refused anyone visiting her while she was pregnant.  It was strictly her alone at home from morning till evening when her husband would come back, before she would see another person one on one. The man also refused her registering for antenatal.  According to the issue, his denomination doesn't believe in hospital or medications or medical doctors and anything related to that.  It's strictly like the Hebrew women by the mothers in the church to come during child labour. SADLY, ACCORDING TO THE WHOLE STORY, SHE EVENTUALLY DIED DURING CHILD LABOUR.           A TRUE LIFE STORY IT WAS Please, dear single brothers and sisters, WATCH and PRAY as you are preparing to get married.  Courtship time is not romantic time. Courtship time is not the moment to suspend your brain in the name of "l am in love... I love him/her."  Please, ask questions. While...
