I MUST TELL JESUS
MOP 74

I must tell Jesus all of my trials;
I cannot bear these burdens alone;
In my distress He kindly will help me;
He ever loves and cares for His own.

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

I must tell Jesus all of my troubles;
He is a kind compassionate Friend;
If I but ask Him, he will deliver,
Make of my troubles quickly an end.

Tempted and tried I need a great Saviour,
One who  can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;
He all my cares and sorrows will share.

O how the World to evil allures me!
O how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus, and He will help me
Over the world the victory to win.

SUNDAY SERVICE 27TH SEPTEMBER 2015

OMNIPOTENT GOD

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, Is anything too hard for  me?  Great is our  Lord, and abundant in power; His understanding is beyond measure. (Jer. 32:27; Psalm. 147:5)

There is a situation a child of God would find him/herself; problems and battles he/she would encounter, so hard, tough, trying, and turbulent that he/she begins to doubt who God says He is, and questions the reality of His powerfulness.
Sarah went into such situation. (Gen. 16:1-4; 18:11-13). And perhaps you are in such situation this morning; doubting the powerfulness of God because of your challenges.
God has directed me to tell us that He is yet Who He said He is. He is THE OMNIPOTENT GOD. He told Sarah that there is  absolutely nothing that He cannot do (Gen. 18:13). Job declared about God, “I know that thou canst do everything... (Job 42:2).  Prophet Jeremiah similarly acknowledged that there is nothing too hard for God to do. (Jer. 32:!17). Jesus responding to the query of His audience said, “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matt. 19:26). Angel Gabriel told Mary, “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37). In his revelation John wrote, “ ...Alleluia: for the Lord God Omnipotent reighneth.” (Rev.   
Our God is OMNIPOTENT! It is a combination of two words: “omni’, meaning all, everywhere,  totally; and “potent”, meaning physically powerful. Our God is POWERFUL!  He is so powerful anywhere, anytime, to and for anybody. He is ALMIGHTY; mightier than all.
Let us see this morning the show of God’s power in Egypt.

THE BATTLE LINE DRAWN
 God introduced to Pharaoh, and His intentions made clear to him  by Moses. (Ex. 5:1).  

 Pharaoh’s opposing and rivalry response. (Ex. 5:2).
Moses and Aaron’s subsequent plea to Pharaoh. (Ex. 5:3).
 Pharaoh’s wicked directives. (Ex. 5:4-21).
God’s battle-ready words to Moses. (Ex. 6:1; 7:1-3).
I am sorry for any Pharaoh in your life,  in your  family and in your job, who foolishly goes drawing a battle line with God and contesting with Him for a show of power. That pharaoh is in danger!
 

WHO CAN BATTLE WITH THE LORD?
   The Show of Snakes; power versus power (Ex. 7:8-11).
The hardening of Pharaoh’s heart; ‘a stubborn fly’  (Ex. 7:13)
The plaguing of the land of Egypt
Waters turned blood (v.19-25). Grievous frogs (Ex. 8:1-8). Lice in the land (Ex. 8:16-19). Swarms of flies (Ex. 8:20-25). Grievous murrain (Ex. 9:3-6). Dangerous boils (Ex. 9:8-11).Very grievous hail, thunder, and fire (Ex. 9:18-26).Very grievous locusts (Ex. 10:14-18). A three day darkness in all the land (Ex. 10:21-26).The death of first born children  (Ex. 12). Our God is a man of war! No battle swallows Him. He is full of victorious battle strategies. No man can teach Him warfare!
 

VICTORY AT THE LAST BATTLE
God’s Powerful Miracles in the wilderness
 * Pillar of cloud and pillar of fire (Ex. 13:21-22;
     14:19-20)
 * Pharaoh is fooled and heart-hardend (Ex. 14:1- 9)
 * The power behind and before the Egyptians
      and the Hebrews (
God’s Incredible power displayed
 * The parting of the Red Sea, and the drying of
       the sea bed (Ex.14:21-23)
 * Pharaoh and his armies drowned, Hebrews
    delivered, and God glorified. (vv.24-31)
 Our Gd is Omnipotent! Alleluia! He does not loose any battle and will not loose the battles of your life!  
  Your pharaoh will drown soon!  Blessings.

CONGREGATIONAL HYMN

THERE’S NOT A FRIEND
              193
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! No, not one!
None else could heal all our soul’s diseases,
No, not one! No, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! No, not one.

No friend like Him is so high and lowly,
No, not one! No, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one! No, not one!

There’s not an hour that He is not near us,
NO, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark  but His love can cheer us,
No, not one! No, not one!

Did ever saint find this Friend forsake Him?
No, not one! No, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! No, not one!

Was e’er a gift like the Saviour given?
No, not one! No, not one!
Will He refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! No, not one!
