HE CAN CALM THE STORM

This morning I woke up feeling very alarmed due to a nightmare I had. But then I got to study my bible and I came across the story of how Jesus calmed the storm and it brought me a huge relief in my spirit and that’s what I want to share with you so please follow me on this.

Matthew 4:35 - 41.Now Jesus had finished what He was doing in a particular city and He told the disciples that they should leave to another place. When they got on the boat there was a heavy storm that was breaking the boat and allowing water to enter which would have lead them to sink. Then the disciples ran to where Jesus was sleeping and woke Him up asking if He really cared about their lives. And Jesus rose up and said "Peace be still" and the storm calmed and then He turned to His disciples and said "why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"

Now if you can clearly observe this story you will see that faith has a lot with our everyday living. I thought to myself maybe Jesus wanted to test them because there would have been no way He was unaware of that heavy storm. And the disciples realized that they could do nothing without Jesus. This is one of the reasons we pray in Jesus' name; because His name carries power. The only way you can overcome a storm is through Jesus. Although the disciples did not need to wake Jesus up from His sleep. They would have simply confessed in the name of Jesus and that storm would have been calm but because they didn’t have faith, they failed and had to wake Jesus up.

Faith is the only trigger for the open heavens Of God's blessings. Faith in God is what Causes God to move on behalf of men. I have heard of testimonies of how men and women put their faith in God believing him for a job, fruit of the womb, admission, signing of contracts, promotion in jobs etc. You can be one of these people to share a greater testimony. All you have to do is to take a leap of faith and trust God. But remember faith without works is dead. It's not enough to confess it, you have to put your faith to work. 

I encourage you to build up your faith because it is only when you believe in Jesus that the storm can be calmed. I see this story and I think of many Christians who don’t know the extent to which Jesus can help them so they run to man for help. But there is nothing God cannot do. You just have to play your part which is believing that He can. Note that God who took you to the level you are can protect you from that devil. The storm can be calmed and He is the only one that can calm it. So believe in Him today.

"Even If Your Faith Is As Small As A Muster Seed It Can Move Any Mountain (Say Kilimanjaro) And I And That It Can Stop Any Storm"

CONFESSION

"Lord helps me to grow my faith in you. Help to be able to withstand any storm that comes my way"

ASSIGNMENT

1) Take time out to study the word of God because the bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

2) Please pray for Bishop David Abioye today as God adds another to his life today.

GOD BLESS YOU
