Topic: It is well

Text: Isaiah 3:1-11

M.V: Isaiah 3:10


Introduction: One of the greatest blessings of believers is that in the midst of uncertainties and untold vicissitudes of life, God will always preserve his children. The message contained in our text was given to the people of Judah through Isaiah as a warning and a call to return unto the Lord or otherwise face the impending devastation and calamity that will come upon the Land. As at that time, they had forgotten the Lord and turned to other gods. The Lord would withdraw all supplies of food and water and hand them over to the mercy of their enemies, Isaiah warned. However, it is gratifying to know that God does not punish both the wicked and the righteous at the same time; he knows those that are his. In a wicked, perverse, idolatrous and self-seeking generation such as ours, the righteous is confident of the fact, that it is well with him. May God give us deep insight as we study.

Discussion Guide 

1.Read the following texts, point out and discuss the sins of Judah. Isaiah 1:15,23; 2:8

b. Mention some of the consequences of their actions. Isaiah 3:1-9

2.Do we have issues threatening us today, which could beas a result of, our disobedience to God as a nation, church, families and individuals?

3. From the following passages, x-ray God’s promises to his children amidst those threatening issues. Isaiah 3:10-11; Isaiah 43:1, 2; Psalm 91:7, 8; Mal.3:16-18; John 10:10,14

4.What should be our attitude given the promises above? 1Cor.15:58; Prov. 14:34, Amos 5:14, 2Tim 2:19, Job 19:25


Conclusion

The hymn “When peace like a river” written by Horatio Spafford was written amidst great trouble. He chose not to give up, but hang up his faith in God who never disappoints. Let us not compromise our faith in God as a result of the things happening around us. It must be well for the righteous.

  THE SECOND SERMON PREACHED AT ST. PETER’S CHURCH, 65- 67 IMMACULATE AVENUE, UMUNGASI ABA ON 23RD JAN., 2011 BY REVD PRINCE UCHE NWAOHARU Last Sunday, I made us understand that God has got a purpose for us, both as individuals and as a people. His plans are for our own good; to give us peace and a good future. The plan takes care of the now and hereafter. For the present time, He promises to give us life, good health, and supply our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ our Lord. He also promised to grant us a place in His kingdom. Mark you that His promises are authentic; His words are as good as Himself. He cannot promise without fulfilling it. And so, He is worthy to be trusted, even in our difficult situations. Today, we are considering this topic: YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT Text: Psalm 139:13, 15-16. It is obvious that God is the creator of everything that exists on planet earth; those that are seen and those that are not (see the Nicene Creed). However, circumst...

Bible Study Outline written on May 28, 2021 Theme: Be Ye Thankful  Text: 1Thess.5:12-22 M.V:1Thess.5:18 Introduction T hankfulness is synonymous with gratefulness. It is a state of the heart expressed through words or actions in acknowledgement to God or man for what has been done, or promised to be done. It is a virtue required of people, especially believers. Jesus, in several occasions taught his disciples to be thankful. However, it is observed that in most occasions, some do not display this Christian virtue. May be, they felt what God has done is not too important or perhaps, the ones they expected God to do has not been done yet. Thus, they forgot that thanking God for the ones he has done attracts further blessings. A case in point is the story of the Ten (10) who were healed by Jesus (Luke 17:1ff). It is discovered that only one person came back to thank Him. May God open our eyes as we study. DISCUSSION GUIDE In your own words what is your understanding of this command, “...
