Daily Quote: “Don’t look unto man to solve man’s problem” ― Michael B. Gyekye
Peter was caught in the prison, but he slept in the midst of the guards because the church was praying. Until you pray, your storm ranges. In the story of Jonah, remember they prayed and then, the storm came down. Prayer is to seek the face of God. Seek Him continually so you can rest continuously.

Daily Quote: “Don’t look unto man to solve man’s problem” ― Michael B. Gyekye
For some years now I wonder how Jesus slept in the midst of
the storm. In fact, in the boat were great fishermen who knew how to deal with
bigger storms but all were screaming for their lives. This storm was great and
deadly but yet Jesus was sleeping.
I have never traveled on the sea before so I
don’t know how a storm can make you scream your heart out but I know that, the
great wind of the sea is a moving force that move great ships, goods and can contain larger fishes in the sea. The Prophet Jonah even though he was
disobedient to God. was also sleeping in the ship whiles the storm was ranging and the people around marveled.
Life events and eventualities can also create a great storm
around your life. Marriage problems can cause a great storm. Stubborn and
vagabond sons and daughters can be a great storm. Bad business, strange
friends, poor services, diseases and sicknesses, family problems, bad church
and poor church growth, all can be storms of life. But, my
question is; what do you do?
Jesus slept in the boat to tell us that, in the midst of the
storm you can sleep if only you wake Him up. When Jesus was asleep the people were
crying and wailing, some including Peter the great fisherman were calling on their
friends to help but none came. When you call on people or on man, you shall
fail. Don’t look to man to solve man’s problem, but rather look unto Jesus the
author and finisher of our faith. Call on Jesus in prayer, wake Him up because
He never sleep nor slumber.

Note this:
God loves you and wants to set you free. Jesus died for you and salvation is the gateway for divine blessings and abundance. If you are not born again, you are not free and the promises of God are not for you. The greatest investment in life is to insure your soul. My dear if you want to be born again today by giving your life to Christ, or you want to renew your faith, please pray this prayer
“Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”'
Prayers for Today
- Father, I praise and worship you for another time of "Early with God".
- Father, I shall not scream forever, Jesus deliver me in the midst of the storm.
- Father, I pray, I overcome my storm in Jesus name.
- Father, I pray, any force of life oppressing me shall be buried in Jesus name.
- Father, I pray, all my readers shall not be disappointed in Jesus name.
