You will get what you are afraid of!

By

ANCHOR TEXT: “What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me” Job 3:25.
In a survey of high-tech employees, Bagozzi, in year 2000 observed that those who spend a lot of time worrying about their jobs are 17 percent less productive than workers who ‘seldom’ or ‘never’ worry about their job. This observation is not only applicable to jobs; it is also applicable to other areas of life; as well as all categories of human being. Happenings in our world are strong enough to intimidate and precipitate doubt; I mean doubt of the possibility of overcoming; doubt of the power of God to help us etc. One thing is that wherever there is doubt there will be fear. Worse still, whatever makes you doubt will make you afraid, and vice versa. Thus, for anything you are afraid of, chances are it will happen.

Take for instance, if you are afraid of sickness just for no reason, such sickness will eventually come upon you. If you are afraid that you will fail an examination, chances, are you will fail that examination. And if you are afraid of going into a relationship or marriage, chances are you will not enjoy that marriage, and so on. This is exactly what happened to Job who is the main character in today’s message. According to him all that he feared came upon him! God has not given you the sprint of fear, but of power and of sound mind. So, where comes the fear?

QUOTE OF THE DAY:“WORRYING ABOUT A THING INCREASES THE CHANCE THAT IT WILL GO WRONG”

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
