TURN TO GOD IN YOUR AFFLICTION

Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction. Job 36:21

EXPOSITION
We have come to a point in time where a certain school of thought believes that the righteous should not suffer affliction. With this in mind, lots of Christians have no patience to wait upon the Lord when things do not go as expected. We want a quick fix. Let's not forget that the Bible says "for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again..." Yes, there is going to be a time in life the righteous shall fall.

On this journey of living for Christ, let's not be quick to turn to evil in difficult times. When the odds are against us, let's remember that "weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

We are living in a world that all manner of solutions are being offered to our problems and if one does not draw closer to God, it will be difficult distinguishing between godly and ungodly solutions. Let's be grounded in the Lord in order not to drift from the faith.

In the most difficult moment in life, the Lord is with us. Let's call on him and he will deliver us. He who we follow is the faithful one. He won't allow calamities to overtake us.

Turn not to evil in your affliction, rather, turn to God.

IF YOU WILL HUMBLE YOURSELF...

14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 2 Chronicles 7:14-15. The Most High God, the Everlasting and Final Judge adjudicated our case by reviewing evidence tendered by Jesus and the Devil. The devil said, the wages of sin is death, your children have sinned and they deserve eternal punishment in hell. Jesus said, the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through me (Jesus). I came to save the world from sin and to give them life. God's judgement: It's true my children have sinned against me, for the sake of my love for them, i sent my only begotten son to save them from their sin. Now, IF they will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will forgive them and heal the...

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE SPREAD OF THE WORD

We are living in a generation where God has made it easy to spread his word across the world. Technology has come to aid the spread of the gospel. I have had an engagement with people who think social media platforms are evil and are inspired by the devil to take captive many souls. Personally, I do not think so. Creativity and innovation come from God. The devil doesn't create or innovate but he destroys what has been created by God. Do you know the devil quoted the bible wrongly to tempt Jesus? I mean whatever good thing God has made, the devil finds one way or the other to make it look bad. He did it to the word of God against Jesus and to man against God so it should not be a surprise if the devil tries to make social media look unattractive to Christians. With the aid of social media today, it doesn't cost as much as it cost the early Apostles to spread the word. Let's utilize all the channels available to let the world know about Christ and his love. God created thes...

LEARNING THE SECRET OF SAILING THROUGH EVERY SITUATION

Scriptures: "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength". Philippians 4:12-13 EXPOSITION The secret to sailing through every situation with great joy and peace is Christ. If you are aware that in Christ you have been blessed with all the heavenly blessings required for your physical and spiritual survival, you will always learn to draw your strength from him in every situation. Apostle Paul learned to live above his situation because his live hinged on Jesus (the gospel). To some when they have plenty then the Lord is good. The Lord is bad, wicked, uncaring, heartless when situations do not work out according to plan, when they fall sick or run out of basic needs in life. Don't let your situation dictate how you serve God rather let God dictate how you treat y...
