HOW SHALL THESE THINGS BE 2


TEXT: Luke 1:34-35
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

MESSAGE
Yesterday we started considering "how shall these things be?" How shall that God-size project be implemented by seemingly little you? How shall the Goliath-size challenger be subdued by this David of yours? How shall this mountain not be the end of your Project Zerubbabel? How are you going to birth that God-idea for the liberation of your generation?

No matter the size of the project God has given to you, no matter the size of the enemy or the challenge, the answer is "the Spirit of God shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you". That was God's answer to Mary. Zerubbabel too once had the same situation. But the answer of God in such cases have always been the same. It is not by might nor by might nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord.

You may be saying, "but I've come to my wits end". Well, that's exactly the idea. God has never had the intention of you accomplishing his project with your wits. He wants you to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. He wants to accomplish the unusual through you. He wants to channel his energy, strength and wisdom through you. 

All He needs from you is willingness and availability. It is God that works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. So Wait I say on the Lord and He shall bring it to pass through you.

LET US PRAY
Father, thank you for your power and grace is at work in my life.

Father I yield myself to you. Be it unto me according to your word and will

I declare that I can do all things through Christ that strengths me

To you Father who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto you be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen
Father, over this nation shine forth through your children that men might see your light in us and glorify you the King of Sion

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...
