TOPIC: FEAR NOT, YOU WON'T FALL
NATURE: ENCOURAGEMENT
TEXT: JUDE 1:24
You might have heard people saying to you times without number that, 'what would become of your life in few years time? We've seen many sisters/brothers that were fervent on campus, they even dressed like S.U, but they were silenced few years after graduation. We won't be surprise if that becomes your story also in few years time.'
I'm sure you've heard such from people, even other brethren. But I'm here to tell you today, FEAR NOT, YOU WON'T FALL, not because you won't want to, but because you simply know and believe you can't keep yourself from falling. Unto God that is ABLE to keep you from falling and to His grace that is ABLE to help you deny ungodliness.
It is those who thinks they stand that the Bible warned to take heed less they fall. But you, on Christ The Solid Rock you stand, all other ground is sinking sand.
The only thing you have to do is to keep LOOKING unto Jesus on the cross, The Author and Finisher of your faith. In fact, you do not have to worry about how to please God tomorrow! That is none of your concern. Wake up tomorrow and keep looking. That's where the victory is. So when you're asked what would become of you tomorrow; simply answer by saying, MORE LIKE JESUS! Get that? Good.
The second aspect is that, if the principle you're living by is this as believer, ' have faith in yourself, believe in your ability', I tell you, you're heading for great failure, which will graduate to disaster, and then calamity, and finally, Catastrophe. For it is written, 'by strength shall NO man prevail.' Apostle peter tried believing in that philosophy, he nearly lost his life to hell. So why believing in yourself and your ability? Have you forgotten that except to the Lord watches over a city the watchman watches in vain?
Jesus alone is to be looked unto, and not yourself.
FFT (1): God’s strength behind you, His concern for you, His love within you, and His arms beneath you are more than sufficient for the job ahead of you.”
FFT (2): The same everlasting Father who care for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it
FFT (3): It is impossible for that man to despair who
remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.
FFT (4): God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Shalom!
