Ephesians 6:13
13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Many of us in the church easily give up during the time of adversity or when things do not go the way they expected or just having to deal with church folk. There are far too many Christians sitting at home because of something that happened to them or through them that caused them to be hurt in the church. Instead of waiting patiently in perseverance, they allowed others to discourage them and caused them to be weary of the church. That’s understandable, as Elder Leslie Larkins so elegantly preached on yesterday.
The word she brought forth touched me. Her sermon came from Jeremiah 1:5-19. (Elder Larkins God used you on yesterday! I received that word! You were on fire and I loved the Kung Fu moves!) Nonetheless, Satan’s main focus in our lives is to keep unsaved folk unsaved and to keep save folk distracted. Especially after a long struggle with an issue and especially after having been engaged in fasting and praying. just as we have concluded our beautiful church revival. Satan got busy to vex the church! Not the whole church but only the ones who God would have doing a good work. But the truth is that if you want to achieve you’re full potential in life and get to the next level in Christ. Stand up and do what god has called you to do. you have to be more determined to defeat the enemy.
We have just concluded a three day revival and some folk may expect an immediate miracle, or an immediate growth in the church. And although growth is coming and the miracles are coming for some. Other may still have to wait for a while. But wherever you belong, God wants you to know “That he has chosen you to be used by him.” STAND! God says to tell you this morning – “That he has heard you but YOU must take a stand and rely on him”!
We all face life challenges. There are many issues that come against our lives one time or the other. There are many issues that come against us as a body of Christ, we get knocked out on the outside, but God is saying to us this morning… No matter what hits you on the outside, learn to stand on the inside. Your circumstance may force you to sit down for a while, but you must not stay down. We all fall down, but we stand up in Jesus! Even when you are sitting down on the outside, you must see yourself standing up on the inside. God is saying this morning to his saints to STAND and defeat the enemy!
God knew you before you were born, STAND!
Do not be afraid to do what God called you to do, STAND!
Go forth and answer your calling, STAND!
STAND for his love, grace and mercy!
STAND for his word!
STAND for prayer!
STAND for Tithes and Offerings!
STAND for your Pastors!
STAND for Church!
STAND for Jesus and watch Jesus STAND for you!
Still sitting down reading this email? STAND in the Spirit!
I say again! STAND… IN THE NAME OF JESUS AMEN!
“Now may god grant you wisdom, courage, and peace. May the grace of God and the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit rest, rule, and abide in you forever!” AMEN!
