TEXT LUKE 8:22-25
CLASSIC
TOPIC : OVERCOMING ADVERSITIES.
[22]Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
[23]But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
[24]And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
[25]And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
Beloved, the disciples were on duty carrying out the exact instructions of the Lord.
They were not in disobedience, yet the storm of wind attacked their boat.
The biggest shock for them was that the miracle worker was inside of the boat yet the raging storm came.
I have seen bad things happen to good people and because of their very poor knowledge of the scripture, they were almost completely destroyed by the storm.
The disciples were totally shaken by the storms.
Their whole foundation was shattered.
My question today is, can you be steady in the storm?
Anybody can be steady when everywhere is stable.
If you can be steady in the storm, then you are no longer a child, you are a matured son of the kingdom.
Soldiers in the military academy go through the most rigorous and life threatening trainings.
The reason is that one day they will need that discipline to be alive.
We are soldiers in the Lord's army.
He puts us through certain tough trainings in order to bring out the real stuff we are made of.
The question is still, can you be steady in the storm?
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
