Mark
4:35-41
35 And the
same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the
other side.
36 And
when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the
ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And
there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it
was now full.
38 And he
was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and
say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he
arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the
wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he
said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And
they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this,
that even the wind and the sea obey him?
The fact that
Jesus Christ is in your boat does not mean there won't be a storm but the only
thing is, no matter the storm, you will not sink.
John 16:33
says “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In
the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world.”
There are
many of us who believed that when you are a Christian, there won't be a fight.
But you cannot be a winner if there is no fight or war. A winner can only
emerge after conquering.
In Isaiah
43:2, God said "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee;
and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through
the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon
thee."
He didn't
say, IF you are passing the river but He said "WHEN" you are passing.
Meaning there will be a point in your life that you will have to pass through
the hard time but because of His promise, you will surely come out a victor.
When you read
the book of Daniel 3:13-22; you will find out that the difference between the
men who throw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into the furnace is that the fire
kills those who threw in but the fire destroyed the yokes on Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego.
That Jesus
Christ is in your boat does not mean there won't be storm, it only means your
boat will not sink.
Storms don't
give notice; they only come suddenly and unexpectedly. So if you wait till
Jesus Christ comes, it might be too late. Call Jesus in your boat today or just
follow Him in His boat so when the storm comes, you already know that you have
Jesus Christ in the boat.
Storms won't
write you that is coming, but when Jesus Christ the greater one is in your
boat, you will just call Him and He will arise to rebuke the storm in your
life.
Who will
expect death to kill the groom beside the bridegroom who was about to sign the
wedding certificate on the day of his wedding. When storm comes, your faith
might be shaky like the mighty men with Jesus Christ faith shakes, but you just
relax and cheer up because He has overcome the world for you and the storm is
inclusive.
Elijah, the
feary man of God who said "the God that answers by fire let it be my
God" also shakes and run from Jezebel. Mighty men of God with faith also
shake but they did not let it uproot them because they have Jesus in their
boat.
Jesus Christ
is the Author and the Finisher of your faith. Is your faith shaking? Join the
club. Join JESUS CHRIST faith club and just one Word of God will calm the storm
in your life.
Psalm 33:9
says "For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood
fast."
Just believe
Him that He is able to do exceedingly great and abundantly more than what you
have asked for. I pray for you now that today, God will speak to your storm in
Jesus Christ name.
One word from
Jesus Christ will still any storm but the good news is one Word from you will
still any storm. The manifestation of a child of God is rooted in the ability
of His Father to manifest Himself through you. Jesus said in John 5:19 “Then answered Jesus and said unto
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but
what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth
the Son likewise.” In other words, if my Father can tell a storm to
be still, I can also tell the storm myself to be still and you also can tell
the storm in your life to be still.
According to
the passage we read from the beginning, the storm has come but the Lord was
sleeping. They went to woke him up and then He arose. Until you tell God to
arise in your storm, until you invite Him into the boat to still the storm, the
storm may not still; because Psalm 68:1 told me that “when God arises, His
enemies will be scattered.” Also Psalm 24:7-10 tells me “7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and
be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.8 Who is this King ofF glory? The LORD strong
and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even
lift them up,
ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD
of hosts, he is the King of glory.
When God
arises, all the enemies that have been fighting you spiritually or physically
will be scattered. That God we are talking about here is the LORD of all hosts.
Those who will not allow you to reach your goals, our God will send somebody to
torment them in Jesus Christ name. Whatever method God is going to use today to
deliver you, He will use it today in Jesus Christ name.
Don’t wait in
your storm anymore. Do what your Father did. Speak to the storm to be still
just as your Father did.
You are bless
