Lesson two - Third Article

 


LESSON TWO

     Mayowa concluded that there was no God because his grandmother, that served God wholeheartedly, died. Many people have come to this kind of conclusion due to one sad event or the other that might have happened to them. This can be said to have been one of the factors that contribute to atheism (absence of beliefs that any deity exists). However, this is not true, regardless of whatever may be the reason behind it. God has expressly revealed to man that he exists. Romans 1:19 "because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them." The creation reveals the creator. God is the creator of the universe. God created animals and made man in his own image and likeness. Therefore, there is no excuse for not believing in God. Also, God gave us a command to hear his only begotten Son Jesus Christ, as he is the way to him. We must not neglect so great a command to come to God through his Son, Jesus Christ. 

     Whatever has happened to you in life should not lead you to the conclusion that God does not exist. You might seem to be facing serious challenges right now and it seems as if God does not care about you, I bring it to you that God cares. He is so much concerned about you. Remember Job in the Bible, he was a righteous man, yet he was troubled on every side by satan. However, he stood his ground that he would not curse God and God came through for him. His losses were restored in double folds. His three daughters became the most beautiful in the land and he lived long, long years and witnessed four generations.

     In conclusion, every challenge is a test. The responsibility lies on you to make the right decisions even when faced with difficult situations and we must always bear in mind that our decisions either make or mar us. May God help us to always make positive and right decisions in all things in Jesus name. 

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense. Rom 1:20 AMP

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

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

LESSON TWO (SECOND ARTICLE)

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO. In the article, Prince and Mrs Adeyori faced some tough times which were as a result of a single challenge which was inability to give birth after wedding. They were abused and mocked but the Lord came through for them at the appointed time; after eight years. One can imagine the shame they would have had for eight years. It was not an easy ordeal they had to pass through, but God helped them through it. You, also, might be facing a tough time presently or later. It might be in health, finances, relationship, family, place of work, business, academics or spiritual life. May I remind you that tough times never last? God is always there for you. What he require of you is for you to call unto him and trust him completely. In Jer. 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Yes, you have been calling, but may I submit to you that he is never tired of hearing your voice? Han
