Thought for today

Don't stop sowing.
Don't compare Your destiny with someone else.
Don't neglect The power of vision.
Don't give yourself unnecessary stress by wanting To do All now.
It's not The size of Your seed But Your dream that matters.
Revelation Is powerful But The most powerful Is The one that comes from God.
God doesn't tell You What You want To hear But What You need To hear.

FACING THE STORM OF LIFE By Pastor M. A. Bambi

It was glorious today as we were ushered into the new month with proclamation of God's blessings which in turn brought comfort into the heart of the church members.
The hymn was sang in yoruba language, it gave the deeper meaning of what the song was saying. ---it was so touching.

        By and by, when the morning comes,
 when the saints of God are gathered home,
 we'll tell the story how we've overcome,
 for we'll understand it better by and by.(ENGLISH VERSION)

As if that was not enough, we entered into another song which was 'count your blessings'

"When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Refrain

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done."



These two hymns ministered to souls, in fact those sleeping were awake without the stress of waking them up.



The Bible text was Luke 8:22-25.

23 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.

24 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.

25 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.



Sermon time..........

"Let's be sitted, we want to thank God for seeing us through Last month and for this new month, the God that was with us through last month will never leave us in this month in Jesus name. Amen..

Today, I want to talk on the the topic "facing the storm of life". If we look at the Bible text read(Luke 8), it explains how Jesus calm the storm. Jesus calm the storm when he was right there with the disciples, but the question is, why should God allow storms into our lives? this is for two reasons which are:

1. because we are Christians: the devil has no business with the people in the world but once you confessed Jesus has your Lord and saviour, then you are one of his target. 

2. because Jesus is with us: Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.



When storm arises, it will be as if God is far away, meanwhile God is greater than any storm we might be facing in life. A lot has been happening since the begining of this year; mind you, a lot is still going to happen but God will calm the storms in our lives in Jesus name.

Jeus intention was to take the disciples to the other side but storm arose on the way so also in our daily lives, God meant the best for us but devil will come with challenges. God's intention for you and me in this new month is to get to the next level i our lives but the will come with different obstacles and make sure you are discouraged.

I pray you shall get to where God has destined you to be in Jesus name.
