(1 Samuel 2: 6-9) - It is God who gives the life. IT IS GOD WHO EXALTS, IT IS GOD WHO GIVES VICTORY
The Lord is the one who takes life and gives it; bring it down to the grave, and bring it up again.
The Lord impoverishes and enriches; lower and also exalt.
He raises the poor from the dust, and exalts the needy from the dunghill, to set him upon the princes, to inherit the throne of glory; For the foundation of the earth is the LORD's, and the world has rested upon them.
The feet of his saints shall he keep: but the wicked shall be dumb in darkness; For man shall not prevail by force.
(1 Samuel 2: 6-9)
Dear brothers in Christ, it is with great joy that we are studying the word of God, together with you, in the presence of the Creator of Heaven and Earth, in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Being human when he is born, he gets used to living according to his own strength. You are starting to use your strength when you breastfeed. And then you start using your strength in learning to walk. Then by learning to study, then learning to have a profession. Being human has not been taught to use God's strength, he will always use his own strength, and will want to trust his own strength if he has not learned to trust God.
But when a human being is fortunate enough to be taught as a young man that he should not use his own strength but should use God's strength, he will no doubt be much more successful, and more easily succeed. By using GOD'S POWER in our lives, we will achieve victory more easily.
In today's study, in the Book of 1 Samuel, chapter 2, verses 6 through 9, it is recorded that when man puts his life in the hands of God, victory is certain, there is no question. For here it is recorded, that all things are commanded by God.
In verse 6, it is written thus: "The LORD that taketh away life, and the same that giveth it. The LORD maketh man to go down into the sepulcher; and he also bringeth up from the sepulcher; the LORD also dampeth up, but the Lord also grieves. But it also exalts. The Lord raises the dust of the dust, and the garbage exalts the need, and makes a poor man to sit between the princes and the rulers to achieve success. "
All this by his power of God, because the Lord God made the earth, and he made the foundation of the earth; therefore the earth rotates between the planets in perfect order.
Dear brother in Christ, what we want to learn from this message today is that the human being, he may be in failure, but at the same time, he may be in victory. It just depends on what force he uses. If he uses his own physical strength, no doubt he will remain in failure. Because as clever as it is, however strong it may be physically, there is no way to weather the storms of this life. It is like rowing against the current. It would be walking against the wind.
But those who use the power of God, take advantage of the power of God. They are always rowing in favor of the current, and they are walking with the wind pushing in their rear. and everything it does thrives. I'll use my grandmother's expression: "EVERYTHING GOES WIND AND OUT".
We of FREEDOM FOR CHRIST'S LOVE have used GOD'S POWER in our lives, and in our Ministry. And we can say with conviction from our experience that when we have GOD POWER in our favor, everything goes very well. And what was supposed to go wrong ends up going right.
In the word of God it is written that all things work together for the good of those who love God. To obtain the favor of God, and to have the power of God at work in our lives, we must desire it, we must authorize it to act in our lives. We need to authorize him to act in our life with his POWER, and we will not use our little power or our little strength, but we will leave everything to God and his power.
Those who trust in God need to seek the power of God, and must be quick to gather the blessings that God commands, cannot be inert doing nothing, must be willing to seek the blessings and enjoy them. And apply the blessings of God in your life, and in your project.
Dear brother in Christ, we are calling to accept the Lord Jesus, be part of the Kingdom of God, and receive the blessings that God has to give you. And live forever with God.
AMEN GLORY TO GOD.
