Hurricane North-Easter



Acts 27:1-44
“Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our lives also” v 10
 “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities …. against spiritual host of wickedness” Eph. 6:12.

Dear friend even as we battle unstable weather conditions around the globe; so also are we fighting such an unpleasant weather in the spiritual realm, if there is any time that the spiritual clouds as been turbulent it’s this Panasonic generation. I would love to use Paul’s experience with the North-Easter hurricane to get us equipped for these coming storms.  Paul Apostle was preparing to sail for Italy under centurion Julius as a prisoner. During a stopover at Sidon, Paul was allowed to see, is friends, who provided for his needs. Though Paul was already aware of the Hurricane force “the North-Easter” which they would encounter on the way; he warned them but they refuse to yield.

When it began gradually the people waited in fear, they were in the eye of the storm, at the centre of trouble. The wind was so fierce; it is the same with the world we live in which threaten our safety. For Paul he was ready, his need were provided for, so in the next couple of days, we would see, what and what one needs to prepare for such storm as Hurricane “North- Easter”; which will include: water, food and proper shelter to weather the storm until it passed.

Let’s start with the food provision 

Supply One: Food
The way one prepares for a hurricane visit is the same preparation that is necessary in our lives as we face the bombardment of spiritual forces and evil principalities. We too must stock up on the right supplies of spiritual food including Gods Holy spirit and find shelter in His church, which serves as a haven from Satan’s corrupt world, so we can safely weather the storm.  
Supply one is food: to survive a storm we must have food. Like physical food during a hurricane, we all need to equip ourselves with spiritual cooler of Gods truth from the very words of Christ. He tells us that “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word … of God” (Matt 4:4…)

Prayer Point

*Lord Jesus, help me pass through the entire storm that would face me in life in Jesus Name (Amen)

*Lord Jesus, if there is any time I need more spiritual food, it is now in this evil days, help me to always be fed, both in season and out of season (Amen)

Common Sense

Joshua 9:1-26 “The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not enquire of the lord. Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with then to let them live and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath”. V 14-15. The issue of using ones common sense has been an issue of division among the body of Christ, even in this generation of motivational speakers. Men are neglecting the place of consulting God on critic issues or even smaller matter like traveling. And some of this issues or matters have brought some great trouble to the body of Christ, individuals or  some trouble the Nation is facing now. From the Bible passage above, (Exodus 34:11-16) we saw how Joshua, a great servant of God, with the Israelite felled into this trap of common sense, because humanly speaking, checking of the provisions of the deceptive Gibeonite, was what common sense would do, but for them, they’ve forgotten that their life or being has gone beyond commonsense, God has been givi...

Family Prayer Series III: ALIGN WITH GOD

Reading & Meditation Joshua 24:1-15 “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” 15c We bless God for another gift of a day. We are still on the issue of the praying family. Another suggestion in helping our family pray together is the issue of aligning with God. Joshua from our today’s, passage, understood God’s purpose for himself and family, and would have probably be teaching them, practicing and obeying them with his family as instructed by God in Deuteronomy. This made him stand to the end, and at his good old age, he was still with God and could declare for his family; that they are partner with the Lord, till death. For your family to begin praying, then you must align with God’s plan and purpose. Before praying as a family, the family purpose and plans must be known by all members involved, provided they can understand issues of life. The place of your family in God’s scheme should be sought in prayer first. And over all, our goal in prayer ...
