*Acts 16:9 MSG*
That night Paul had a dream: A Macedonian stood on the far shore and called across the sea, "Come over to Macedonia and help us!"

*The dream gave Paul his map* . We went to work at once getting

The Children of Ephraim got dressed for battle.
They got dressed, probably to appear impressive to unlookers.
They had all they needed to fight & take territories, but, they bailed out at d last minute...at d critical time.

Psalms 78:9 MSG says;
d Ephraimites, armed to d teeth,

ran off when d battle began.
Hmmmmm, what a sad note.

Many 2day, appear dressed up for battles.
Some of us appear dressed up to take territories.
We look as good as warriors.
We speak in tongues, pray d loudest at prayer meetings, attend church d most, yet, lack d real substance

There is a job God has given each of us to do, but, ironically, we focus on the fringe benefits of the kingdom.

There are souls to win, territories to conquer, thrones to dethrone, altars to pull down etc.

Jeremiah 1:10 MSG (spells out our job in clear terms.)👇🏼
See what I've done? I've given you a JOB to do among nations & governments-a red-letter day! Your job is to pull up and tear down, take apart & demolish, & then start over, building and planting." Stand Up & Say Your Piece

What have you done with the job or task God gave you?

It's not just about kingdom benefits.
There is a good fight of faith out there.

We need to get off the milk diet and eat meat like warriors... we cannot do stuffs if we are passive about the things of God..

***Conflict Of The Chosen***
There is always a conflict when God singles you out

#the conflict in Mary's life

The challenge of being chosen is a calling to a life of conflicts.

when you are chosen, you are chosen to do His will.

2
(Luke 1:29 & 30) “But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying (conflict begins!), and considered what manner of greeting this was.”30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.”

•to be chosen creates conflicts.

3.
“Conflict” means a clash of two or more things. ,in this context, clash of two natures.

Mary was not the only virgin of her day.

God could have called any of the virgins of her days, but God chose Mary.

She did not ask to be chosen.

She had to face shame,

4.
misunderstanding, and confrontation with Joseph.

Before this: She was happily engaged.

She was looking forward to her marriage. She was anticipating a normal life.

But now she faced the challenge of conflict because she was chosen – she was troubled!

5.
God brought the conflict by chosing her.
Mary could not keep her old lifestyle and her former friendships.
-Her former friends won’t understand.
-No matter what she says ,it will make no sense

How would she face Joseph?

She must have cried, “Lord, you cant do this to me”

WHY SHOOT OUR WOUNDED? - Ps. 109:21-31

A Detroit newspaper reportd that a patient in a local hospital was shot and killed as he lay in his bed recovering from a previous gunshot wound. The victim had been listed in fair condition prior to the shooting and was looking forward to

going home. Hospital patients and employees were stunned. A spokesperson said that nothing like this had happened in the 50yrs of the hospital's existence.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could say the same for our churches?

Wouldn't it be encouraging if we were able to say

that in 50yrs of meeting together for worship, fellowship and spiritual healing, we had not had a single instance of a wounded member being cut down by the unkindness of a fellow Christian?

Many among us have experienced the pain that David expressed in Psalm 109.

When he was hurt and vulnerable, insensitive people took advantage of him. Certainly, if he had sinned, he needed their loving correction. what he didn't need was their scorn, gossip, and selfish neglect. Who shoots his foot after stubbing his toe? No one in his right mind,

neither should anyone with the mind of Christ act unmercifully toward a wounded brother or sister in the body of Christ. Rather, we must "show mercy" (v.16).

Give me, Lord, a lot of mercy
For my fellow men each day,
Mercy in their many failures
As they struggle on their way.

Acts 13:17 MSG
God took a special interest in our ancestors, pulled our people who were beaten down in Egyptian exile to their feet, *and led them out of there in grand style.

👉🏼You may have been beaten down by the economic weather, with no chance of coming out strong.

👉🏼You may have been beaten down by circumstances and sicknesses, with no hope of coming out alive

*You were only down.*
But, you were not out.

*The Enemies rejoiced too quickly.*

*Micah 7:8a MSG*
Don't, enemy, crow over me. I'm down, but I'm not out.

👉🏼 *You are coming out in grand style* .

👉🏼You are rising up in grand style.

👉🏼The Lord will make it happen in grand style.
👇🏼
You are not coming out empty.

👉🏼You will come up with compensation.

*Acts 9:40 MSG*
Peter put the widows all out of the room. He knelt and prayed. Then he spoke directly to the body: "Tabitha, get up."
👇🏼
It's an entirely different ballgame when you speak directly to a situation.
👇🏼
There is tremendous power backing up the

Word of God when spoken directly at Anything tangible or intangible .

👉🏼Peter had nothing to offer the man by the beautiful game... He only had the Word and that made all the difference to the crippled beggar..

👉🏼 Ezekiel spoke to very dry bones & the bones were restored &

eventually became an exceeding great army. ( *Just think about it for a second* )

👉🏼With Elijah's word, the impossible happened. The sunk iron axe-head floated from the bottom of the river, while the wooden handle sank.

👉🏼By the spoken Word of Jesus, a gold coin was found in

the mouth of a fish to pay tax

👉🏼By His spoken Word directly to Lazarus, He commanded him to come forth, and, he who had been dead for four days came back to life.
👇🏼
Here's the catch...God has exalted His Word even above His name & He backs it up with His integrity.💪🏻

*Speak directly to;*
👉🏼Your business
👉🏼Your marriage
👉🏼Your health
👉🏼Your FINANCES
👉🏼Your Womb
👉🏼Speak to every dead, dying, crawling or confusing. You can even call forth those things that be not as if they were.

Penninah was said to have mocked Hannah on a consistent basis.

👉🏼Penninah mocked her because she was childless.
👉🏼She mocked her because she was unfruitful.
1Samuel 1:6 NLT
So Peninnah wld taunt Hannah & make fun of her b/c d lord had kept her from having children

👇🏼
Penninah wasn't as prayerful as Hannah, yet, she was fruitful.

👉🏼She wasn't as spiritual as Hannah, yet, she was fruitful.

👉🏼She made fun of Hannah, because, she was "ahead".
👉🏼She made fun of her because, she had the "advantage."

👇🏼
Maybe, there are things u ought to have achieved, but, they are looking impossible to achieve.

👉🏼Maybe, there are things that u ought to have attained unto & u are even light years away even right now.
👇🏼
This situation has made u a laughing stock amongst friends & neighbors.

👇🏼
You have nothing to show for all your regular church attendance, all your prayer meetings, all your tithing, all your offerings.
👇🏼
It's beginning to eat you up internally.😭
👇🏼
Just as Hannah was grieving and praying with tears dripping down her eyes during another church

service, the Bible said;
*1Sam 1v19b KJV*
...& d Lord remembered her.
👇🏼
Yes, the Lord *REMEMBERED her, & the rest, they say is history.
👇🏼
This week, the Lord will glorify u in d presence of your mockers.💃🏼

1Sam 2:1B NLT
