3 Keypoints From: Frail In God′s Hands

  • As humans, we have the tendency to believe that we are strong and that we are in control, whereas, God is the one that upholds us. (Isaiah 41:8-10)
  • No matter how great and powerful a fellow is, God can humble him or her in the twinkling of an eye. (Daniel 4:31-33, Acts 12:23)
  • Always live conscious of your frailty in God's hands; don't ever think you are in control. Just like pencil in the hand of the creator; He can do with you as He pleases.

  • Prayer Point: Father, please let me never forget how week and helpless I am in your hands.”

    Memorise: My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it als is gone from me. (Psalm 38:10)

    2 Keypoints From: Don′t Try To Outrun God

  • The pursuit of the vanities of this world has robbed many people of far greater and blessings from God.
  • God knows your desires; in fact, it is likely that He is the one who put them there. He know the best time and ways to accomplish them, so don't try to act smarter than the one who made your brain.
  • Follow God's timing; don't try to outrun Him. *(Ecclesiastes 3:11)

    “It is not bad to want to achieve something great or pursue a good cause, even God delights in our well-being and prosperity (Psalm 35:27, 3 John 1:2), but if you try to outrun God, you may never achieve that goal, and worse still, you may pay for it with something very precious to you.”

    Memorise: A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he tat maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. (Proverbs 28:20)

    MEMORISE: Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. (Proverbs 16:3)

  • People choose for themselves if they will be vessel unto honour or unto dishonor, based on their behaviour toward God and His instructions.
  • Many people commit sin purposely, trusting that when they ask for mercy, God will have mercy. Trying to make a fool out of the Most High God, and becomes vessel unto dishonor.

  • Don’t toy with sin, and don’t try to play on God’s intelligence so that you don’t end up like Saul. (1 Samuel 15:28)

  • “Do you still indulge in the things that God has been warning you about? Beware, so that you don’t become a vessel unto dishonour.”

    MEMORISE: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Psalm 51:17)

    3 Keypoints From: The Power Of Service

  • When there is an opportunity to serve God through a prophet that you are sure is sent by Him, no matter how small the service may be, don't let the opportunity pass you by.
  • You might have prayed for certain things and not received them yet, but offering your service to God through a prophet could bring them to you immediately. (2 Kings 4:8-17)
  • God shows appreciation to those that serve Him, and His ministers ought to do the same; not taking anyone's willingness to serve God through them for granted.

  • “God never ignores a genuine heart of service to His representatives on earth.”

    Memorise: He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. (Matthew 10:41)

    2 Keypoints From: Receiving Prophecies

  • When a prophecy seems too good to be true or difficult to believe, just keep quiet; don't say anything against the prophecy or you may never see it fulfilled. (2 Kings 7:1-17)
  • If your mouth and actions don't negate God's promises for you, no matter how unbelievable those promises sound, you will see them come to pass.

  • What we say and/or do after receiving a prophecy matters. When God says something that seems too good to be true, repeat it with your mouth , and you will see it come to pass.”

    Memorise: Despise not prophesyings. (1 Thessalonians 5:20)

    3 Keypoints From: Rejecting Negative Prophecies (2)

  • Sometimes, a real prophet can prophesy something that you are not comfortable with. God tells us some things sometimes just for our information, or so we can do something about them.
  • Sometimes, negative prophecies can come to you directly from God, either in a dream, trance, or even in an audible voice.
  • The first thing you can do is to cry to God to reverse the prophecy (2 Kings 20:1-11) or get prophet with a higher anointing to cancel the negative prophecy.

  • “Negative prophecies, even when genuine, can be reversed.”

    Memorise: Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. (2 Kings 20:5)

    3 Keypoints From: Rejecting Negative Prophecies (1)

  • When a negative prophecy is from a prophet who genuinely hears from God, the fellow involved can cry to God like Hezekiah did in 2 Kings 20:1-11, and God can decide to change it.
  • False prophets try to plant fear in people with their prophecies; if the people allow fear to take root in their hearts, they have given the prophecies the power and permission they need to be accomplished. (Job 3:25-26)
  • Rather than being afraid, meditate on the word of God that negates the false prophecy and pray to God about it. (2 Timothy 1:7)

  • “Fear will give room for false prophecies to be fulfilled. Believe only in God's word concerning you.”

    Memorise: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1)

    2 Keypoints From: Marriage - A Blessing Or A Curse?

  • Marriage can either be a blessing or a curse, depending on what either of the couple allows into their union.
  • If marriage is done in line with God's word, it will be a blessing. However, if either of the couple goes outside the will of God and lets sin in, there will be trouble.

  • “If your marriage is to be a blessing, you and your spouse must truly be born again, living according to God's word. Study the Bible, pray, and evangelise together.”

    Memorise: And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. (Genesis 2:18)

    2 Keypoints From: You Cannot Hide From God

  • If no one can hide sins from God, it means no one can avoid the consequences of sins. Rather than trying to hide whatever sins you might have committed, why not change your ways?
  • People hide their sins because they want to appear to all as being righteous. Is it people that will judge them on the last day or God Himself?

  • “If you are a true child of God and you’re hiding your sins and pretending to people, I’m sure the Holy Spirit is telling you to stop the pretence and stop committing those sins. Don’t ignore the voice of the Holy Spirit; listen and obey. God wants to have mercy on you now, and He will give you the grace to live a truly holy life, but you have to repent genuinely from your heart.

    “You can say this short prayer: 'Lord Jesus, I am sorry for indulging in sin, I am ready to live a truly holy life. Please help me Lord, and let me never backslide again, in Jesus’ name I pray.'

    It is impossible to deceive God; He sees you as you really are.

    MEMORISE: Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:13)
