John 6: 5, 6 Our text passage is from a time Jesus and his disciples were faced with what should have been a challenge. There was a need and desire to feed over 5000 people but they had no food with them, not enough money to feed that amount of people and food shops were not located anywhere nearby. Our passage informs us Jesus "knew what He would do" What many of us regard as challenges are no match for Jesus Christ! Concerning your situation and challenges God knows what to do, He knows what He wants to do for you. He is a God who knows what to do. He is a God of ability and know how. He is a God who knows. He is a God who knows what is in men. John 2:23-25 He is a God who knows what is in the heart, He is a God who looks within, He looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 Our God is not deceived by the outward, the physical, the external. He is a God who is also not deceived by time or under pressure to perform within our chronological and calendar time. For these reasons, He do...

 1 Kings 19:1-8 As our text passage reveals, Elijah the prophet of the Lord was threatened by the message sent to him by a messenger of Jezebel the queen. That message was not good news, it was an evil report to let Elijah know he was a wanted man, it was to let Elijah know there is a death edict on his life! There are messengers of evil reports in the world today. There are evil messengers of evil reports delivering the reports of the gates of hell in the world today. The kingdom of darkness has messengers of darkness, evil messengers of fear, debt, delay, and intimidation. May they be far from you and your home! The world we live in is full of darkness because it is under the sway of Satan 1 John 5:19 This automatically shows there is bad news and all sorts of evil report in today's world. Messengers of bad news are messengers of evil report. Evil report or bad news can come through mass media, a Dr's diagnosis, dreams, family members, the fear from friends or acquaintances, ...

 Ephesians 6:13 Our text passage tells us to stand even when we have tried all things. Stand when things are working out and when things are not working out. Put on the armor of God and stand. Life demands we stand because there is a cross before the crown, trials before triumph and sacrifice before breakthrough. Anyone can claim to love God when life's issues seem to be going in that persons favor. When we have the testimonies, the results, the fruits and achievements that make us lift our heads high, it is easy to praise, worship and feel motivated to serve God and be in church. It is easier to declare the faithfulness of God in times when God seems to favor us. During such times we have an appearance of loyalty to God It is easy to stand for God when it's obvious God is good to us. What about when things are not working out for us from the look of it, when it seems God has not been fair to you how well will you stand for God? How loyal are you to God and God's causes whe...

  Matthew 5:45 Our text passage shows us that God doesn't discriminate when it comes to who enjoys what He has created. God cares. He cares because He loves. 1 John 4:8 Showing care is the practical demonstration of love. God loves us in practical ways. 1 John 4:16 We all enjoy nature, the weather and seasons without God asking if we have been bad or good or seeking to qualify who enjoys the things He has freely given. God's goodness is for the whole of humanity. God is a good God and His care for us is not limited to who is good or who is bad, God cares for all and we all enjoy what He has put in the earth- the sunlight by day, the moon light by night, water, food that grows from the ground, the earth as our home which has sustaining ability as it continues to produce for us due to laws put in her by God for humanity's benefit. Both those who know God and those who choose not to believe in Him enjoy nature. They can both plant seeds in the ground and get results from the e...
