Inherit the Wind

DATE - March 26th, 2022

TOPIC - Inherit the Wind

BIBLE TEXT - Those who bring trouble on their families inherit only the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise. - Proverbs 11:29



It’s not difficult to imagine receiving your grandmother’s treasures or a piece of vintage from your grandpa, but what would it be like to inherit the wind? Think about it! 

It sounds grand until you consider the magnitude of the gift you received as a result of ignorance and arrogance. The wind is forceful, unruly, and can strike without warning. It may only whisk your hat off your head, but it also has the power to send ships careening off course. It goes where it wishes, whipping the small, the fragile, and the unrestrained where it will. 

We risk danger when we open the door and allow trouble to march in to our homes. Unwelcome guests with names such as unrestrained anger or petty arguments can whip through our homes and drive family members apart. Selfishness nudges joy out the window as love and kindness and gentleness fall to the ground like brittle, dead leaves. 

Our families were intended to be a sanctuary—a safe place for each of us. We all face trouble from time to time, but it should never be because we willingly allow it into our homes. Instead, let your home be characterized by a legacy of kindness, godly character, and faith. Choose today to bring good things to your family and to leave trouble outside the door.



PRAYER
FATHER, my loved ones are precious to me. I want them to inherit more than the wind. Forgive me for the times when I have allowed uninvited guests into my home. Help me to keep rage and petty arguments and selfishness far away. 

If I have willingly brought trouble to my family, help me to make amends. I don’t want the destructive wind of trouble to invade my home and family. I invite the gentle breeze of your Spirit to abide in us.

INSIGHT
Let your home be your parish, your children your congregation, your living room a sanctuary, and your knee a sacred altar.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
