THE ONLY ONE

May 29th – Capsule 29

TOPIC: THE ONLY ONE

BIBLE TEXT: STUDY 1 KINGS 19 VS 10 – 18

Elijah, a prophet chosen and anointed by God to carry out an assignment to bring down the altar of Baal and kill the 450 prophets of Baal, which he did. But 1 Jezebel threatened to take his life and he fled. Elijah must have thought:
• I am tired, when will this end?
• Am I the only one in the whole of Israel available to do this?
• This calling always has my life in danger of death and shame
• It is better I run away from all this
• God can see that I tried, so I give up.

Do you find yourself in such depressing situation? You might be the only active member in your church unit.

You might be the only one taking care of your family. 

You might be only one with integrity in that office. You might be the only one everyone is calling for help. 

It seems you are the only one showing affection in that marriage. In fact, it looks like a whole lot is on you and you are at the verge of breaking down.
Elijah was in the perfect will of God, what if Elijah had Cried out to God for help instead of complaining. Complain no more, as long as you are in God's perfect will, He is a very present help in time of need.

God's reply to Elijah's complain was: there are 7000 holy men in Israel that are pure, whom God would have easily picked from to use, but He chose Elijah. There are other people in that family, church, office, in the world, but God chose you.

Elijah was immediately replaced, taken up without completing his assignment. Do not let God replace you, quit complaining and get to work!


Prayer: Ask God for mercy, and ask for strength for the journey ahead.

Insight: The reason you are the only one is because there is something He wants to do for only you and through your vessel.

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
