OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON 02/08/2015 IS: SUBJECT: THE UNDERSTANDING OF GOD THAT ESTABLISH US TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING PATIENCE IN SUFFERING BY FAITH DATE: SUNDAY MESSAGE FOR FEBRUARY 8, 2015 READING SCRIPTURES: JAMES 5:1-20 UNDERSTANDING PATIENCE IN SUFFERING THROUGH THE PRAYER OF FAITH: 1. They most important Godly understanding for every successful person to have is never to loose his/her mind because of riches. Most rich people serve the wealth and riches that they have instead of the other way round, as such they oppress the poor with it thinking they will live in this world for ever. The consequences of the lack of understanding of God in them returns the pains of oppressions of the poor on them when they least expected it. Beware. See verses 1-6 2. It might interest you to know that the greatest enemy of understanding of God is lack of understanding or walking in the understanding of the world or that of Satan. To walk in Godly understanding, you need patience in suffering, waiting for your harvest seasons time like the farmers wait for their crops harvests after planting, learn to be contented and never to grumble when you do not have your ways but wait on the Lord and apply the spirit of perseverance in all things. See verse 7-10. 3. I want you to take the life of Job as a very good example of a Man who walked in the Understanding of God by trusting God against all odds over his life. The Lord Almighty is full of Mercy and Compassion who will never live you no matter what you go through, mostly when you are challenged with the trials of life, his understanding will carry you through, but you must learn never to swear by heaven or earth, but know when and how to say NO or YES that is the prove of walking in Godly understanding to avoid condemnation. See verses 11-12. 4. The next level of walking in Godly understanding is through the prayers of faith, whenever you want to take any decision pray first, when you are happy sing songs of praise, when you are sick call on the elders of the Church to pray over you and anointing you with oil and the prayers of faith will heal the sick, raise him from death and if he has committed sins they shall be forgiven him. Confess your sins to one another so as to be made whole and complete. That is how to walk in Godly understanding. See verses 13-16. 5. Finally it is important to know that there is nothing prayers with the understanding of the word of God cannot do. Elijah was a mortal man like you and I, he prayed for it not to rain for three years and six months and it did not rain, he prayed again for it to rain and the heaven gave rain and the earth produced its crops, because he prayed with Gods understanding. Begin to pray with Gods understanding today to save the sinners from death back to life. See verse 17-20. 6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to walk in Godly understanding that will establish you and empower you to make a difference in your world and in Gods Kingdom in Jesus name Amen. Read below: James 5:1-20 New International Version (NIV) Warning to Rich Oppressors 5 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[a] 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you. Patience in Suffering 7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! 10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. 12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned. The Prayer of Faith 13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. 19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
