Motive

  By ,

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17 New King James Version

It can be very easy to turn a good decision into a bad decision because of the wrong motive. Has the decision that has been made, been by the leading of the Holy Spirit or the leading of the flesh?

A decision can look good on the outside and still be driven by the wrong motive on the inside. In this week’s message, Rev challenges us to examine whether our choices are being led by the Holy Spirit or by the flesh. If you have ever questioned your intentions, your direction, or your heart behind a decision, this message will speak directly to you. Watch this week’s video, “Motive,” and take a serious look at what is driving your words, actions, and decisions.

“The source of your strength”

  By

1 Samuel 30: 6 “ Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” (NKJV)

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. When pressure or stress has been applied to the chain, it’s not the entire chain that breaks; it’s the weakest link in the chain that cannot handle the pressure.

We read in the scripture that David was greatly “distressed”. The feelings that he was experiencing were anxiety, sorrow and pain. These feelings are normal when someone has been put in crisis situation.

At any given time we can experience feelings of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. Often times we may find ourselves in a situation where we feel “hard pressed” on every side with nowhere to go or no one to turn to. Many times, the choice that is made about what to do, or where to go to gain the strength that is needed, turns out to be the wrong choice.

Some turn to drugs and alcohol, which will only anesthetize the feeling of being stressed or distressed. When the effect of the alcohol and drugs wear off, those feelings that a person was experiencing come back. Some may try gambling, viewing pornography or using nicotine to obtain relief. The sad part about these choices is that sometimes they may not be available to use, and a person can no longer use them to get the relief that they are seeking.

Matthew 11:28-30 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (KJV)

Because God is the God who never slumber or sleeps (Psalms 121:4)…He is an ever-present help in a time of trouble (Psalms 46:1)

2 Samuel 22:33  “God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.” (KJV)

John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”(KJV)

David made the right choice to seek the Lord his God for the strength that he needed in a time of crisis…let us follow the example that David set and seek God to be the one and only true “source of our strength.” Amen!

Power Within Earthen Vessels

  By ,

The power of God that is within believers is stronger than any external force that can come against them.

We all experience seasons where life feels heavy—pressure on every side, confusion in the mind, opposition from people, and moments that knock us down. In 2 Corinthians 4:7–9, the Apostle Paul describes believers as jars of clay carrying a priceless treasure. The message is clear: God places His power in fragile people so His strength—not ours—gets the glory. And that power is stronger than anything coming against you.

2 Corinthians 4:7-9 New International Version
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
