HOW TO REMAIN STRONG IN FAITH AND OVERCOME ALWAYS

WHAT DO YOU SEE
TEXT: Exodus 13:13
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever

MESSAGE
Moses did not say stand still and you WILL see the salvation of the Lord. Rather He said "stand still and see..." What he was saying was that they should relax and consider, contemplate, visualize and fix their attention on the salvation that God has for them and not the condition thy found themselves. Whatever has your attention in the time of crisis, whatever you focus your mind on will determine your outcome.

Abraham had a very nagging challenge. His wife was barren. God promised him to make him the father of nations yet he could not father a boy for another 25 years. He had every reason in the world to cry and whine and charge God with unfaithfulness to his word. But Abraham remained strong in faith. He hoped against hope. Do you know why Abraham did not stagger or vacillate between faith and unbelief? "...he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb" (Romans 4:19) He was not looking at his condition. He was looking at what God said. Peter could walk on th sea because the Word of Jesus was more real to him than the storm. But when he considered the waves, when his attention shifted from the word to happenings around him, he began to sink (Matt 14:29-30)

What you focus your attention on will determine your status. If you keep on considering the doctor's report, the bank account, how your body feels, the bad dream you had, you will not be able to stand firm in faith. You will be defeated by unbelief.. But if you focus your attention on what the word of God; if what you are seeing in every crisis is the salvation God has given you in Christ, it will definitely become your reality! It is a matter of choice. Choose to look away from your condition and look unto your salvation. Whatever you can perceive you will receive. If your attention is continually fixed on God, you will not waver in faith. You will be strong in faith and you will receive the deliverance that God has given.

PRAYER
Father thank you for the power in your word

I received grace to fix my attention in the word of agod in Jesus Name

I refuse to waver in unbelief. I stand firm in the word of the Lord

I refuse to consider th testimony of my body my physical condition or whatever anyone says. I stand firm on the word of God

The word of God is real to me and it has become my reality

I command every situation in my life to align with the word of God now in Jesus Name

By the word of God, the sword of the spirit, I cut off every negative attachment and every work if the devil from my life in Jesus Name

GO IN THIS THY MIGHT

TEXT: Judges 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? MESSAGE: While Gideon was still sckeptic of ever being able to engage his oposition in battle God gave him the battle instruction. God already told him that His presence with Gideon will ensure his easy victory. But he added one very key instruction that ties up everything together. He said GO IN THIS THY MIGHT What might was the Lord talking about? This might God says is the presence of the Lord by which he will defeat the enemy as though they were just one man (Judges 6:16). The Lord was saying that he should advance against his opposition being strong in the Lord. We shall explore this phrase in a couple of days, but one thing that we must get today is that we must go in the strength of God alone. There is always a tendency to engage your challenges with other forms of strength. It is wrong to engage your challenge...

SEIZE THE MOMENT 2: HOW TO ESCAP JUDGEMENT

Image
TEXT: Luke 23:39-42   39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. MESSAGE The malefactor (as he is called in our text) is actually crucified and facing his last moments on earth, he seizes the moment. In one desperate cry he turned the course of his destiny. He is on the brink of everlasting torment in hell. But just before he falls into eternal doom, one sentence saves him. He calls to the Lord. He didn't have the time to weep over his sins and the consequence. He had an audacity of faith and dared to ask for life in paradise. Guess what? He g...

THE MANUAL FOR ETERNAL LIFE

TEXT: 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness MESSAGE Most people today, especially in this part of the world, buy appliances and never bother to go through the manual. The result is that they either soon damage the appliance or grossly under utilize it. Someone once bought a very expensive android tablet and all he could do with it was to make and receive calls. he ran everywhere to send e-mails. He spent hours at business centres trying to get his documents typed. Many other things he suffered because he never knew that his tablet could be used to solve all of those issues. In much the same way, when we receive eternal life into our spirits, it will be foolish of us to just assume that we know what to do with it. Just as the wisest thing anybody that bought an applicance would do is to check for the manufacturer's instruction in the manual, so also...
