TRUSTING GOD IN THE STORM

TEXT : LUKE 8:23-25

 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.

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.

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 Bible said that when they saw how Jesus commanded the storm and it obeyed, they wondered, "what manner of man is this".

Friend, that's exactly the manner of man/woman you have become.

He said that these signs shall follow those who believe.

  "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.(Mark 16:17-18)

By implication, the storms of life does not have dominion over them.

That the believer has has the final say over his destiny no matter the type of storm that the enemy chose to bring his way.

The believer has the authority to rebuke the storm and stabilize his life.

This is heaven's expectation of you.

Refuse to disappoint God and get ready for great exploits.

 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.

TRUSTING GOD IN THE STORM 

TEXT : MATTHEW 16:18-19  

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Beloved, the gates of hell are storms, terrible and devastating storms.

Jesus told Peter that He would build His church and  the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

Jesus was not referring to a physical building, He was referring to the believers.

He expected believers to be fed with the word until they become indestructible.

They are raised to become immune to the destructive systems of this dying world.

Whatever the believer resists on earth, is resisted in heaven.

We are developed to become storm-killers.

We are a breed that defy every storm that the devil can raise.

When the devil comes like a storm, the spirit of the Lord will surely raise a standard.

 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.

TRUSTING GOD IN THE STORM 

TEXT : ROMANS 1:16-17

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Beloved, God is a Tabernacle, a stronghold and a shield at all times, but especially to those who have come to know Him.

The great apostle Paul said that he was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God unto salvation unto those who believe.

What is salvation?

It means preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin of loss.

Beloved, the gospel of Christ when ingested into the human spirit becomes a spiritual jacket that is able to protect us in times of storm.

The gospel is beyond words, they are spirit and they are life.

They are living and very active.

"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."

The righteousness of God means our right standing before our God.

It also means an endorsement from our God.

Beloved, you are sealed with a "TOUCH NOT SEAL".

Your daddy has also given a command to the ocean that it cannot overflow it's boundaries.

It's your time to shine.

 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.

TRUSTING GOD IN THE STORM

TEXT :2 TIMOTHY 1:12

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day

Beloved, storms can be unsettling.

Storms are scary, no wonder the disciples of Jesus screamed out of fear.

They thought they were all dead even though Jesus was in that same boat.

If you live in a stormy place, you need an insurance policy.

This world is so stormy that you can't live here without an insurance policy.

To have Jesus is to be saved, to keep Jesus is to remain saved.

Beloved, if you have disconnected, make haste to return.

Even Jesus in His earthly sojourn recognized that in this world, you will have tribulations, but in (Him) Christ, you will have peace.

 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.

TRUSTING GOD IN THE STORM

TEXT :1 PETER 5:10

 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Why does storms come?

Storms are like exams that are set at the end of each academic calendar.

Those who pass these examinations are qualified for promotions.

Examinations are set both for those who studied and those who didn't.

Storms are like that.

Whether you prepared for them or not, when their season comes, they will visit.

Like examinations, they do not come to stay.

They are for a season.

We are therefore as soldiers of Christ be prepared for stormy days.

We do this during the sunny days.

No good student prepares for examinations in the exam halls.

Two types of houses were hit by the storm.

The house that was not built upon the rock was blown away.

Can you withstand the next storm?

With Jesus in your boat, you are insured.

 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

TRUSTING GOD IN THE STORM

TEXT :1 PETER 5:10

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Beloved, this storm is supposed to endure only for the night, day break is already here.

It is illegal for the weeping to endure more than a night.

Beloved, wipe your tears, help is on the way.

God is on your case now, you are coming out of this storm.

He has given you all grace to succeed in this life.

What you are going through will definitely not destroy you.

Your testimony will be the product of your tears.

Your victory is coming from your unshakable trust in the Lord.

This storm is not designed to kill you, you are a winner always.

You will soon be celebrated.

 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.

TRUSTING GOD IN THE STORM

TEXT : ISAIAH 43:2

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Beloved, can you be confident in the storm?

Can you still trust God in the storm?

Life is full of stormy situations.

Storms rattle us and often deflates our faith.

Some may be facing some storms as they read this devotional today.

You may be going through a stormy marriage, a stormy business and a stormy relationship.

No matter what you are facing, realize that the target is your faith.

If the Satan succeeds in destroying your faith, he has won the battle over your life.

The word of God is a sure defense for you in times of uncertainty.

He said that when you pass through the fire, that He shall be with you.

He also declared that He will be with you when you pass through the water.

These are sure words that cannot be broken irrespective of the prevailing circumstances and situations.

As you begin to put your faith in God, you will begin to see God's word illuminate even in your darkest storm, in Jesus mighty name.

 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
