WORRIER OR WARRIOR?

Memorise:
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. .. Matthew 6:34

Read:
Matthew 6:25-34

Message

In life there are worriers, and there are prayer warriors; you have to choose which one you want to be. Matthew 6:27 says that worrying does not add one cubit to you. You gain hothing from worrying, absolutely nothing. However, when you are a prayer warrior, as issues arise, you will cut them down in the place of prayer because you are a champion that is more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).

Some people are too anxious about tomorrow. Before they get into the university, they worry that they may never be admitted. After graduating, they become worried that they may not get a job. When they get a job, they worry that they may lose the job. If they don't lose the job, they worry that they may not be promoted. When they are promoted, they worry that someone might want to take the position from them. They, worry that nobody will marry them. When somebody shows up to marry them, they worry whether he or she is the right feliow. When they finally get married, they worry about whether they have taken the right decision and if they will ever have children. They are always worrying about thefuture. Honestly, all that worrying will not solve anything.

When you read Philippians 4:6-7, you will see what you should be doing instead of worrying. It says you should be thanking God in everything by prayer and supplication.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Don'tthank God only when things are going the way you like; thank God in everything by prayer and supplication, and then let your requests be known to God. Don't just sit there and worry; go to God in prayer, thank Him for the things He has done for you, and then make your requests known to Him. His peace will replace every form of worry in your heart. So, father than worry, pray to God, and He will meet you at the Joint of your needs

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and ave surrendered your life to Him, stop worrying. Jesus has already given you His peace that passes all understanding, as wesee in John 14:27:

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Bible In One Year:
Luke 21-22

Hymn:
Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus

Key Point:
Become a prayer warrior, not a worrier.

King James Version

Matthew 6:25-34

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [26] 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? [27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? [28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: [29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? [31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
RCCG Hymn

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

  1. 'Tis SO sweet to trust in Jesus,
    di Just to take Him at His Word;
    Just to rest upon His promise;
    mf Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

    2. f Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
    How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
    Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
    O for grace to trust Him more!


  2. mf Ohow sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just to trust His cleansing blood;
    Just in simple faith to plunge me
    'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
  3. mf Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just from sin and self to cease;
    Just from Jesus simply taking
    Life and rest, and joy and peace.
  4. f I'm so glad I learn'd to trust Thee,
    Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend,
    And I know that Thou art with me,
    Wilt be with me to the end.
