TOPIC: GOD IS INDESCRIBABLE

Read: 1 Samuel 14:6-14
MEMORISE: _Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!_ (Roman 11:33).

EXPOSITION
No one can enjoy the goodness of God beyond the degree of understanding he has about Him. The level of our understanding of God determines the level of our relationship with Him. Our victories and successes in life is in how much we know God. Jonathan, the son of King Son, was a perfect example of someone who knew God as a young man, he proved it when he alone ran to the battle against the Philistines.

When the armies of Israel had no weapons to fight battle, it was during this time that Jonathan summoned his armour bearer to follow him to fight with the Philistines, their dangerous and strong enemies. (I Sam.13:19-23). He left his father with up to six hundred able men of war at home, without telling anybody he took the courage to stand against the enemies of God’s people. He fought and eventually won the battle all alone. What was the secret behind his victory? He knew who God is and how He operates. Here is what he told his armour bearer: _“Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few’”_ (I Sam.14:6).

This revelation statement, _“for nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few”,_ is the secret behind Jonathan’s victory. This statement opens our eyes to some attributes of God, no human being can share with Him. For example, God is infinite. He knows no boundaries and He is without measure. God is also sovereign, i.e., He is free to do what He knows to be the best and no person or any other force can stop Him from executing His purpose (Isa. 46:10). God’s attributes are incomprehensible. This attribute of God means that He cannot be fully known (Isa. 40:28). God also has attribute of irresistibility (Num. 23:20; Dan.4:35). Nothing can resist Him. Another one is incomparability of God (Isa.46:5; Lam.3:37). God is more than how you think He is. God is indescribable. You cannot predict Him. You just need to put your trust in Him.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, I praise your Holy name because you are incomparable, irresistible and indescribable.
2. Teach me, Oh Lord, to put my trust in You everyday, in Jesus’ name.
3. Lord, make Yourself known to all Your children of little faith, and double-minded ones.



THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
• Worry is the magnet that attracts negative conditions. It destroys faith.
• Those who fear God are Known by the level of their obedience to God's Word.
• Walls have ears.
• O Lord, set a wicked man over the wicked, in the name of Jesus.
• Who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. - 1 Thessalonians 5:10

The Roles Of Evangelism In Church Growth

-
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY       According to the New Strong Expanded Exhaustine Concordance of the Bible, GREEK word "Evangelism" means preacher of the gospel which make clear the distinctiveness of the function in the Church.¹       From the beginning of the world, in the garden of Eden God was the first person to do the work of an Evangelist and first Church grower.² He said "It is not good for Man to be alone", So God made a help mate suitable for him by causing a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he took one of his ribs, bone and closed up its place with flesh, Adam said this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman.³       Therefore, when God perfected man by making him a complete man, God was the first Evangelist and the first Church began with the family. God usually visit them to have fellowship with them before they eventually fell (Sin against God). And Adam knew Eve hi...

ONE WITH GOD IS A MAJORITY

Memorise: And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 2 Kings 6:16 Read: 2 Kings 6:8-17 6:8 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 6:9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down. 6:10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. 6:11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? 6:12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. 6:13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was t...

Obstacles To Eternity

-
TOPIC: OBSTACLES TO ETERNITY There are obstacles of Satan, sin, self, and the world that we must overcome, if the vision of making heaven wouldn't be a miracle. Are you ready? MEMORY SCRIPTURE: But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexual immoral and murderer and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie (Revelation 22:15). BRIEF COMMENT The use of 'but' in the opening of this verse suggests relationship between the preceding verse and this, but the relationship is converse. 'But' emphasises sharp contrast or opposition between two propositions. While verse 14 clarifies the criteria, condition and the fate of those who would enter into God's Kingdom, verse 15 sharply states the condition and characteristics of those who would not make it to the Kingdom of God. According to the passage, who would not enter into the kingdom of God? The dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, lovers of lies and those that practice it. Comparing t...
