LESSONS DRAWN

 LESSONS DRAWN FROM THE FIRST ARTICLE ON MARYD'S LIFE LESSONS BLOG

✓Your background is not the only determinant factor of your success. You might have come from a very humble background, you might say your family is as poor as a church mouse but, you must know that that, is not the end. It is only the beginning. So, quit the self-pity party and begin to work hard and trust God for good success.

P.S: You also need the Saviour Jesus Christ. Scripture says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Chioma was becoming "successful" even before she came in contact with Jesus but she could not affect her family. However, things really turned around when she met Jesus. Joy came, success came, her prayers positively affected her family and those who surrounded her. It is only after we have accepted Jesus Christ that we become God's children and he can use us satisfactorily to establish his will upon the earth. 

So, if you are yet to accept Jesus Christ, I beg you to do so. All these success in life will fade away, but a soul dedicated unto Jesus will never fade away.

✓Drunkenness is not a good habit. Scripture says "give strong drink to him that is ready to perish and wine to those that are of heavy hearts." The statement made is like an irony because, a person given strong drink will eventually perish if care is not taken and those of heavy hearts will still have heavy hearts, even, after drinking wine. This means strong drink and wine are not able to solve your problems. Immediately you come off the intoxication, you will still remember your sorrows. But, there is only one person who can help bear your sorrows and give you comfort. This is the person of Jesus Christ. He said "Come unto me all you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28. It is only in Jesus Christ that you can find rest unto your souls. Come unto him today and he shall give you rest.

LESSONS FROM ARTICLE TWO

 2) Prayerlessness: James 5:17-18 "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."  Even after delay is for an appointed time, we need to understand when its timing is over, in order to avoid prolonged delay. Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain and it did not rain on ground for three years and six months. In 1 Kings 18:41, Elijah prophesied about a sound of abundance of rain and to bring it to pass, he went to pray earnestly. 1 Kings 18:42. Prayerlessness prolongs delay but prayer brings it to an end. Hannah went up to Shiloh to pray unto the Lord and made a vow. I Samuel 1:10-11. She had been delayed in Child bearing; the Lord shut up her womb. She prayed unto God to remember her. We need to pray unto God. Are you experiencing any form of delay, pray unt

She began to raise voices of intercession unto God and prayer altars to God on behalf of her family and, of course, she put the headmaster's family in prayers too.

Chioma's mother found favour when a rich man suddenl

CAUSES OF DELAY (CONT'D) LESSONS FROM SECOND ARTICLE

 5) Sin Proverbs 14:34 "Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.  Sin is a major cause of delay. Some people experience delay, not because God wants it but, because they have sinned. Moses and the children of Israel experienced delay in the wilderness, because of the sin of disobedience. Num. 14:34 "After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise." Joshua 5:6 "For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey."  Disobedience is sin and it can lead to delay in the fulfilment of God's promis
