Call upon Me in the Day of Trouble and I Will Deliver You .....PSALM 50:1 - 15

The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes, he does not keep silence, before him is a devouring fire, round about him a mighty tempest. He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people: "Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!" The heavens declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge! "Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God. I do not reprove you for your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are continually before me. I will accept no bull from your house, nor he-goat from your folds. For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the air, and all that moves in the field is mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world and all that is in it is mine. Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High; and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me."

GREAT LOVE OF CHRIST PART ONE ....EPH 3: 14 - 19

   It is normal for us to love and being loved,  and we always talk about love in different aspects. 
  There is love that exceeds all human love in God's love and that is what we are going to discuss today. Great Love of Christ. 
   Paul in the book of Ephesians chapter 3:14 - 19, he is praying a very significant prayer;

We Must Forgive

     Did you know that forgiveness is something God requires of every Believer? To be a Christian but hold aught and unforgiveness in your heart toward anyone is in direct opposition to the Gospel message. Every day we have opportunities to yield to the spirit of unforgiveness and opportunities to walk in love. When we make a decision to choose God’s way of handling difficult people and situations, we choose the love route. In doing so, we keep ourselves in a position where we are able to receive forgiveness from the Father.

TODAY'S VERSE........NENO LA LEO ACTS 3: 25

SUV
Ninyi mmekuwa watoto wa manabii na wa maagano yale ambayo Mungu aliagana na baba zenu, akimwambia Ibrahimu, Katika uzao wako kabila zote za ulimwengu zitabarikiwa..

AMPLIFIED 
You are the descendants (sons) of the prophets and the heirs of the covenant which God made and gave to your forefathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed (Heir) shall all the families of the earth be blessed and benefited.

ATITUDE OF A CONQUEROR ......MARK 7:24

    Jesus said: “When there are two or three gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.” I believe that when we gather in the name of Jesus the presence of Jesus is erected before us in a very special way because Jesus likes to be in the midst of his people.

BEING MORE THAN A CONQUEROR......ROM 8: 26 & 39

   Understanding how “all things” work for our good and living like a conqueror may not be said that way, but they are the thoughts that people play out in their minds everyday.
Who wouldn’t want to live victorious? Right?
Who would not want to understand why bad things happen to good people? (Just me I know)

BUILDING A STRONG MARRIAGE

Intro: I read a story about a couple who celebrated their fiftieth wedding. They were in their seventies. Ted, the husband, had lost much of his hearing during this time. And yet they were still getting along together and celebrating this great anniversary. Their family came from all over and enjoyed celebrating together through the mid-morning into the afternoon. Finally, toward sundown, all the family went home.

A BAD SITUATION PLUS PRAYER EQUALS DELIVERANCE

      My brothers and sisters when it comes to bad situations the first thing that we should do is pray. In fact our church’s moto is “Prayer should be our your first response, rather than our last resort.” And even though we might read this in our program every Sunday, to some they are just shallow words.      
  

The Missing Link to Your Financial Breakthrough!

Some people say, “Oh, God! I want to be blessed financially!” yet they never sow a seed—at least not the right kind of seed. Hence, they do not receive the right kind of harvest—certainly not the one they so desperately need and desire.

VERSE OF THE DAY,,,,,PHIL 2: 13

AMP
[Not in your own strength] for it is GOD who is all teh while effectually at work in your [energizing and creating in your power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
KJV
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
SUV
Kwa maana ndiye Mungu atendaye kazi ndani yenu, kutaka kwenu na kutenda kwenu, kwa kulitimiza kusudi lake jema.

Who we are in Christ ......Colossians 1:1-14 & 21-23

ILLUSTRATION
A mother went to wake up her son.
She said, "Son, it is time to wake up. It is Monday morning to go to school."
The son did not want to get up and did not want to go. The mother insisted that he get up.
He said, "I do not want to go to school."
She asked, "Why don’t you want to go to school?"

FREE AT LAST....................ROMAN 6: 6- 14

Intro: Imagine a man who was born into slavery. He is raised as a slave, trained as a slave. All he knows is slavery. Now, imagine that one day this slave is sold at the slave auction. He is bought by a kind man who immediately hands to the slave papers that declare him to be a free man. Imagine that slave rejoicing in his freedom. He runs through the crowd waving those papers in the air and he shouts, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God I am free at last!" The man who brought him to the auction to sell him sees all this and starts to leave, and immediately the former slave falls in behind him. The former owner looks around and says, "Man, you're free! You don't have to work for me any longer!" The slave answers and says, "I know the paper says that I am free, but all I know is how to do is to be a slave. I am going to follow you and continue to work for you." The former owner gladly accepts the offer, but the freed slave has done a foolish thing.

HOW TO GROW IN FAITH

What we get out of life is determined by our choices.

Illustration: 
     Sometimes fear of punishment motivates better than anything else. 
   One mother decided she would put the fear of a speeding ticket in the speeding drivers going past a local elementary school. Every morning she would park her car in front of the elementary school and point her black hair dryer - shaped like a radar gun, out of the window at speeding cars. The effect was dramatic as drivers slowed down fearing they might receive a speeding ticket. Fear the Lord you His saints, for to those who fear Him there is no want. The young lions lack and suffer hunger but they who seek the Lord will lack no good thing.

STAY CONNECTED JOHN 15:1-8

  The man stepped to the edge of the bridge and looked down. The water below seemed miles away. But he was ready. He'd rehearsed this moment in his head countless times. He took a deep breath and jumped. It felt like he was falling in slow motion. He didn't scream. he didn't cry out. But the moment he hit the water, the force broke his neck. The man was dead.
