A FEARFUL HEART REVEALS A FAITHLESS MAN

TEXT: Romans 8:14-15

Key verse: 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,

and of love, and of a sound mind.

Some people have a fearful heart. They are always afraid of one thing or the other. Some people are even afraid of lizards. They see demons in almost everything, including lizards! You are afraid of shadows. You are afraid you will die. You are afraid an evil thing will take place. So you become restless out of fear of everything around you. But hear what God is saying to you in the scriptures: John 14:1, 27 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Can you see two states of that heart? Fearful and troubled heart! That scripture says, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” It is as if these two things relate together. What makes you feel troubled is because you are afraid. You are very troubled because you fear that you have caught coronavirus, even though you are free of any infection. Yet you are telling yourself, “how am I sure that in the next two weeks the symptoms will not begin to show?”

Some people are fearful of a large body of water. It is as if they will be drowned in it. You just get troubled over many things when in fact there is no cause for alarm. Your fearful heart gives you trouble and you lose your peace. You are afraid that this sickness is going to kill you. That is why you are not smiling. The smile of a troubled heart doesn't last. How will it last when he is troubled that he is dying tomorrow. Everybody is laughing but you are frowning your face. Somebody said fear knocked at the door and faith went to open the door but nobody was there. Naturally, anytime faith comes in fear disappears. Fear promises you everything evil, assuring you of failure, assuring you of death, and bringing dreams of bad luck. But if you can rise up in faith you will not see those things again, fear will disappear and you will become peaceful. Rise up in faith and enjoy the peace of God in Jesus' name. Amen.

Thought for the day: If you have Christ, you have no cause to fear.

Song for the day: Believe it shall be well, believe in the Lord….

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 25-27; 2 Corinthians 6

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
