THE CENTER THAT HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER (Part 2)

 SONG

At the center of it all, it's You that I see, it's You that I see.

There is power in Your name.

Miracles happen in Your name.

As I lift my voice in praise, it's You that I see, it's You that I see.

TEXT

John  15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

  This involves an intimate union and harmony with Christ such that nothing will be asked in accordance with the mind of Christ without receiving an answer.

Whosoever rests in Christ's doctrine abides in Him and therefore brings forth good fruits and the Father will not deny such a one whatever he or she asks for.

  When the Lord says we can do nothing apart from Him, He means things will not work properly in our lives unless and until we invite Him.

His Presence can eliminate much of the struggles we face or experience in life.

His Presence makes impossible things possible, hard times easy and frustrating things peaceful.

Let us remember the wedding in Cana in Galilee. Thank God that Jesus was invited, Had He not been there, I wonder what would have been the lot of the celebrants.

John  2:2 "And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.  2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.  2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.. "

Jesus rescued the situation that presented itself at the wedding which would have resulted to a very big shame.

As I said in part one of this message, do not make the mistake of trying to work Him into your schedule but rather, make a decision to put Him first and work the rest of the schedule around your time with Him.

Let us form the habit of seeking God's face not His hand, which is the manner of so many out there. Also, we  are to seek His Presence not His present 📦.

Many seek God because of bread, not yielding the totality of their lives to Him as their God.

The care for the things of this world has taken the greater part of so many, resulting in giving so much attention to mundane things of the world.

Matt 6:26-34 "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?..."

If God, our father in Heaven cares so much about the birds in the air and the flowers on the field, how much more, we that are created in His likeness and in His image?

Let us hold fast unto the God of providence, which is the sure and faithful antidote to our worries.

  Do not ever be afraid to say, Help me Lord, I can not do it without you.

PRAYERS

Thank you Lord for being the Center that holds everything together in my life. I'm sorry for trying to do things by my strength in the past. I surrender to you from today that You may do it for me, in Jesus name. 🙏 🙏 🙏
