TOPIC : THE POWER OF TRUST

TEXT : JOB 13 : 14 - 16

14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him

16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

This was Job's testimony.

This was inspite of what he went through in the hand of the forces of darkness.

He was set up after God had boasted about his faithfulness.

Job was a man of incredible faith and trust in God.

The church for long has taught us to control God with our faith but the Holy scriptures teaches us to allow God to determine our outcome with our trust.

If you don't see favorable material results, change your church.

Doctrines that feed fat the passions of the flesh but results in lean and malnourished human spirits.

Doctrines of devils, making the saved ashamed of their salvation and  wishing they were never saved.

Doctrines that diminish the power of the cross and the majesty of our Christ.

The song writer put it this way, "trust and obey, for their is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey".

God's children are not insulated from the challenging pangs of a  fallen earth.

They are not insulated from the persecutions of the righteous.

These indignities and injustices for our God will one day be the anthem of our new kingdom.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen, but trust hopes for nothing and has no evidence.

If God does not do it, let it never be done.

If God does not give it to me, may I never own it.

If God does not take me there, may I remain where I am.

Another song writer puts it this way," my hope is built on nothing less but on Jesus and His righteousness.

I dare not trust my sweetest frame.

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

TOPIC : THE POWER OF TRUST

TEXT : JOB 16 : 1- 6,11,13 &14

1 Then Job answered and said.

2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief.

6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.

The above were the lamentations of a man whose faith seem not to have produced the desired results yet his trust was unquestionable.

He had lost all the things that we pride ourselves as the material manifestations of answered prayers.

At this point, his friends had started asking him to search  himself very well for hidden sins.

These sins were the reasons God isn't answering.

Materialism is actually a religion of the flesh. Consummated by Lucifer and his demons.

Delivered by pastors who are hostages of hell, in a theater that is called the church.

Job refused to equate mamonic  materialism with spiritual salvation.

He decided to trust until the end.

His reward arrived before the end.

His patience is legendary, and was quoted in the book of James.

May we cease to see our God as a free supermarket that yield to our vocal codes.

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.

TOPIC : THE POWER OF TRUST

TEXT : HEBREWS 7 :  22 -25

22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Jesus our high priest is able to save us totally and completely no matter the challenge.

He is committed to delivering those who come to God through Him.

Jesus has a name that is above every other name.

When you call on that name with understanding, power errupts.

The Bible says that all knees must bow, of things in Heaven, of things under the Heaven.

Whatever has a name must bow to the superior name of Jesus.

Cancer has a name.

Kidney problem has a name.

HIV has a name.

Low sperm count has a name.

Homonal imbalance has a name.

If it has a name, it has intelligence.

If it has intelligence, it hears the Lord.

Trees hear Him.

Storms hear Him.

Even death hears Him.

Today, that your pproblem will hear my Lord and you will receive your peace in the name of Jesus Christ.

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.

TOPIC : THE POWER OF TRUST

TEXT :  HEBREWS 11 : 36-40

36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

These verses  were referring to experiences that departed saints went through in their service to a most powerful God.

In the service of their father, some were hewn into pieces like fire wood.

Some were burnt on stakes, while others were served as meals to lions and other carnivorous beasts yet they died trusting.

They watched their faiths gradually dissipate as their spirits severed from their earthly bodies yet they trusted that their eternal reward will be worth their earthly pains.

They looked forward to an eternal paradise of tranquility where their father promised them.

Do not change your God, do not change your church, trust the ever faithful God, His reward is forever.

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.

TOPIC : THE WORD OF GOD HAS POWER

TEXT :  2 PETER 1 :  23

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

We are begotten of the word of God.

By this I mean that we are the direct products of God's word.

The believer is the product of an incorruptible specie.

He is the product of a pure breed.

Horse racers know that there are special breeds that you don't have to train rigorously to win races.

They come from a generation of modified genetics of winners.

We are those ones that the word has produced immortality inside of our spirits.

We have triumphed.

We have subdued the forces of this world.

We are not bindable yet we bind all things.

I pray for you that as you enter this new week, you will put the word into action for instant results in the name of Jesus Christ.

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.

TOPIC : THE WORD OF GOD HAS POWER

TEXT :  1 CORINTHIANS 1: 18-18

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

The word of God is the power of God.

Inside the seed of the word is the power of God hidden.

Those who are not born of the word think that this is really foolish.

But in the book of Hebrews  4 : 2-3,

the bible says;

2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

May the word profit you as you start to mix and mingle it with your faith in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

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.

TEXT :  MARK 16 :  18

18 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.

You are the most advanced product existing on the face of the earth.

You are not killable.

You can never be disadvantaged and no situation can put you to shame.

You shall take up serpents refer to the manner issues and complications you will be dissolving.

Moses took up serpents in the palace of pharaoh and mesmarised Egypt with signs and wonders.

You are the Moses on the scene today.

With your rod, that is your mouth you will liberate your destiny and that of everyone around you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

God bless you.
