What does it mean to call Christ the Lord? 
What is expected of believers and of the Christ? 

Our first church planted, we bring good tidings of good things. This gospel shall be preached. 

The God of the Bible has proven Himself as God many times over. The Egyptians, Philistines, and Babylonians  got to know Him better, God that saves His people, 

To whom will you liken Him? 

Sometimes it may seem like God is not even listening to the million prayers you have sent up to heaven. Your situation may linger on even after fasting and prayer. 

Rest assured that if you pray according to His word, He hears you, and He is faithful to His word. 

Abraham was rich, he lad livestock, silver and gold.
Isaac also, planted during a famine and reaped a 100 fold.
Jacob worked 14 years for his wives and then his wealth. 

How can you sit and wait to be wealthy whilst doing nothing? 

The blessing multiplies what you have. 

Whilst we look to God for provision, He uses what we have or other people to bless us. Instead of receiving always, be encouraged to be used of God to bless someone else. 

Someone's miracle is in your hands. 

What do you have that God can multiply? 

With a few loaves and fish, He fed thousands of people. 

Bring your business, side hustle, job to God, watch Him bless you. 

Who is your source of provision as a believer? 
Do you trust yourself to make it on your own intelligence, ability and connections? 

Be encouraged to put your trust in God alone. 

What is the right way of living?  What will it take to be right with God? As we count sins, weighing them on a scale, pointing fingers with our limited knowledge and understanding, God has a better view. 

He remains right and He is the God of justice. He punishes enemy and children alike for disobedience. 

Take a short journey on this episode, in the book of Amos, a scathing propethic writting that holds no punches. 

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! Amos 5:24  NIV

The old testament reveals God of justice, He judges the wrong doers, including His own chosen nation. When He punishes His own people, He doesn't expect anyone else to treat them badly. 

There are people that rake opportunity when something goes wrong in your life, they gloat and even throw stones. 

May your enemies that gloat over your troubles be judged by the Lord. 

God has revealed Himself as a provider.  Our challenge is when we are in need and it seems God is not moving in to solve our situation. 

Taking lesson from the church in Phillipae, that met the needs of Paul and he in turn committed God to meeting their needs in Christ.

The story of Zerubabbel, the man who led the first team to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity provides lessons for us today, as believers who are the temple of God. 

The enemy attacks and destroys the temple today just as the enemies of Israel did in times past.  This calls for believers to rise and rebuild, be empowered by the Spirt of God and guided, to continue rebuilding despite the negativity.

In Babylon, an Israelite was born, raised and was the first to heed the call to go home and rebuild the temple of God. He had not been there before, he had only known captivity. 

What adversity is prevalent in your family that stops you from breaking free and rebuilding? 

Out of Babylon, came a man in the lineage of Jesus. 

You also can do it, do not wait for perfect set-up. 

The man at the gate called beautiful had a lifelong disability which he had accepted and found ways of living with it. He wasn't even expecting healing from the Apostles when they passed by. 

What is that situation that has lingered for so long in your life that you have accepted as your fate? 

Today, let faith change that fate. 

Let God change that situation. 

Believe. 

When the enemy strikes like the wild animal killing the flock, the blame cannot be on the shepherd.  The shepherd looks after the flock, takes it to feed and to rest and protects the flock from the enemy.

The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, do not blame God for the works of the devil. 

Be angry at the right person. 

If you have lost a loved one prematurely, your anger should be directed at the enemy. 

Embrace God, He is the good Shepherd. 

Life is spiritual.

If you approach life in the flesh, you will be limited by the ability of the flesh. 

Live life in the Spirit.

The believer today has to contend with devils, and the word is the sword.  The church is not helpless, she must take up the armor and battle it out. The enemy has no intention of stopping his evil acts, the believer must not make the mistake of leaving the battlefield. 

Use the word, fight!

The Bible is full of stories of the experience of God with man. Some seem impossible, given our own experience today. It may seem as if the people in Bible were different from us. 

Yet God is the same, what it impossible with man is possible with God.

What are you struggling with that seems to be stubborn? 

Believe in God. 

Faith is normally associated with prayer requests to God. We use faith to make petitions to God.  

The Bible says faith is also a shield, a God given weapon to be used by believers to stand against the attacks of the enemy. 

This is where you say, 'Not here Satan, it is written...'

Use this shield and get your victory.
