we shall see him as he is god bless your sister continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of jesus hallelujah glorify your name jesus if you have your bibles turn with me please to james chapter 2 reading from verse 14 through to verse 26 james chapter 2 from verse 14 to 26 i read from the king james version of god's holy word or lesson four today what does it profit my brethren do a man say he has faith and have not works can faith save him if a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food and one of you say unto them depart in peace be warmed and filled notwithstanding he give them not those things which are needful to the body what does it profit even so faith if it has not works is dead being alone yay a man may say thou has faith and i have works show me thy faith without thy works i never showed you my work faith by my works though believers that there is one god does well the devil also believe and tremble but we don't know o vain man that faith without works is dead was not abram or father justified by works when he had offered isaac his son upon the altar see though our faith wrought with his works and by faith and by works was faith made perfect and the scripture was fulfilled would say abraham believed god and was imputed unto him for righteousness and he was called the friend of god you see then all that by works a man is justified and not by faith only likewise also was not rehab the ireland justified by works when she had received the messengers and had sent them out another way last verse for as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead also this is the word of god thanks be to god hallelujah as we prepare our hearts today to hear what god has to say to his man's servant brother cyril gooden may we see god's face and that he will never speak anything of self but fully by god and we believe that god has a word for us today and so let us pray him up that god would used him as never yet before and after this singing of our third hymn the next voice you will hear is of brother cyril gordon though troubles are sail and dangers of fright though friends should all fail and foes all united yet one thing secure us whatever be tied the scripture assured us the lord will provide let us all stand as we prepare [Music] afraid no [Music] turn [Music] the lord will provide never [Music] is what is waiting shine near midday night so long as this written the lord will probably he is [Music] not knowing our way but faith makes us bored for though we are strangers we have a good grade [Music] no strength [Music] yet since we have known in this [Music] is [Music] amen praise the name of jesus let us praise the name of jesus again is worthy every time to receive praise and glory because it is god and god alone alleluia let me greet you in the mighty name of jesus praise the name of jesus god is good god we can trust i really want to thank god for this opportunity although we are very few in number in the chapel we thank god that through technology there are many who are watching at such a time like this and i want to use this opportunity to greet you all in the mighty name of jesus i really pray that today will be a day of great difference in our lives amen praise the name of jesus want to thank our son leaders and our songbird today sister finisher for the tremendous song and also for our musicians and not the least our leader here brother patrick thank god for today that we can worship it's very strange to be standing here on a fifth sunday our first rather because he's like a rum caught in the thicket regrettably our pastor is not able to be here but we will continue to pray for him that very very soon he will be able to be up and about and that he will be kicking football amen praise god thank god hallelujah let us pray we exalt your name this morning oh god we exalt your name because there is none other even in the midst of restrictions we thank you that we have freedom we thank you god that in christ jesus we are free we are not limited and we bless you for this glorious and wonderful opportunity to be in your presence to be able to share with each other your glorious works we bless you lord god and we thank you for the victory in christ jesus for the power that is in the name of jesus for the power that is in the blood of jesus and we thank you that we have been washed in this blood this efficacious blood and we are whole and victorious in him and so lord even today as we listen you speaking to us we pray that you will open our hearts and our understanding to receive your word and you will stimulate us by your holy spirit to act upon your word to the honor and glory of your name we bind every force of darkness we bind demonic agents that seek to snatch away the word from the hearts of your people we arrest them by the power of the blood of jesus and we claim freedom for your people we claim total deliverance that those who are bound will be released in the name of jesus and so may the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable unto thee o god our strength and our redeemer amen praise the lord praise god i'm going to invite you to turn to the text this morning it is from ii kings chapter four and i'll read from verse one to seven second kings chapter four one to seven of quite familiar passage or portion of scripture that we have heard so many times but it will not hurt but rather help to hear it one more time and as the lord speaks to us that it will we will find it very very helpful to deliver us amen praise god a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to elijah saying your servant my husband is dead and you know that your servant feared the lord and the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves so elijah said to her what shall i do for you tell me what do you have in the house and she said your maidservant has nothing in the house but a joy of oil then he said go borrow vessels from everywhere from all your neighbors empty vessels do not gather just a few and when you have come in you shall shut the door behind you and your sons then pour it into all those vessels and set aside the full ones so she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons whom who brought the vessels to her and she poured it out now it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said to her son bring me another vessel and he said to her there is not another vessel so the oil ceased then she came and told the man of god and he said go sell the oil and pay your debt and you and your sons live on the rest hallelujah praise the lord hallelujah over the past 18 months or so there has been a significant and intensified pressure on the peoples of the world due to the covet 19 pandemic many families in great grief and pain are trying to grapple with the realities of the demise of their otherwise healthy loved ones due to this wicked insidious disease of the arc enemy satan there are economics economic and social instability in our own country hospitals are bursting at their seams due to the ever increasing covet cases joblessness for some and slashed work week for others and the depths keep mounting but worse of all some christians are falling away from the faith as they are coming to the grim reality that their faith or confidence they thought they had in god was really at best superficial should the believer face the very challenges of being engulfed in this tumultuous sea of uncertainty and disaster to whom does he or she go where does help come from today we pray that the holy spirit will reveal the truth to our hearts as we examine this portion of scripture amen praise god and the first point of this message which is entitled faith the sure life best faith the shore life vest so we examine this portion of scripture and the first point the testing of faith the testing of faith we see that in verse 1 look at her circumstances it is of a certain woman of the wives of the prophets amen her circumstances the woman's faith was tested by the events that came upon her unexpectedly and she was caught in a tide of great sorrow and desperation her husband had died a godly man was one of the men being trained by elijah to be one of the prophets of israel he left behind unpaid debts which exposed her family to great risk her situation was seemingly hopeless in an attempt to clear the depth of her husband the widow was left with nothing in quote unquote nothing and to make matters worse in the midst of her deep grief at the passing of her husband the creditors came to take away her two sons as one men for the debts owed so that they could work it off for a duration of seven years it is in the midst it was in the midst of her deep grief and sorrow but compare this their action with what was permissible because on the jewish law in leviticus chapter 25 35 to 38. hear what it says if one of your brethren becomes poor and falls into poverty among you then you shall help him like a stranger or a sahaja that he may live with you take no usury or interest from him but fear your god that your brother may live with you you shall not lend him your money for usery nor lend him your food at a profit i am the lord your god who brought you out of the land of egypt to give you the land of canaan and to be your god that was what was permissible but as you noticed that the creditors came to put these boys into bond slavery so it was a situation which was unjust and there was the intensification of the pressure upon a woman who has just lost a husband what a challenge what a challenge it was an unjust pressure being placed upon this poor widow that was our circumstances and we are talking about the testing of faith testing of faith but she made a particular response her response secondly her response she cried out in great despair to the man of god this crying was not a little whimper but rather it means to moan uncontrollably or to shriek loudly in desperation we see a woman balling in desperation hallelujah she cried out to elijah your servant my husband is dead and you know your servant feared the lord she was balling out in desperation what a situation sometimes believers in their best efforts see no resolution to their challenges and are led through the path of hopelessness and helplessness and things just seemed to get worse that was the circumstances that this godly woman and many people today are facing their taste of faith challenges challenges something that is not bargained for but it is an inevitable inevitability it is inevitable that we will go through these challenging or face these challenging tests but brother peter in first peter 4 12 tells us something think it not strange concerning the fiery trials or testing which is to try you as though some strange things happen to you many times we figure that this is so strange that should not happen to me but you are not insulated none of us can claim insulation from these tests we cannot claim immunity hallelujah the child of god will be tested when and to what extent we do not know and especially in such a time like this many persons who we knew are no longer around writing our tone here you ask some people what happened to so and so and they are telling you you didn't hear that kovid had killed that person some time ago when we look there are the challenges from murders challenges from the various social problems the luck the inadequacies these are the realities we don't know how the test will come but ignoring that they are there awaiting us does not mean it cancels those tests we can't bury our heads in the sand the tests are there because they believe us faith will be tested for quality the believers faith will be tested to see its metal so it is so important to know god and to build up our faith in the times of sunshine when the opportunities are available when we have strength when we have the abilities to move around we build up our faith because as we know faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of god hallelujah and so as we study the word of god we our faith is built up we know god more and we trust him more it's no doubt that this woman having been the wife of this godly man member of this godly man's family knew god and by the demonstration that she made or showed having called on the man of god first clearly shows that she put focus in the right direction she didn't run to her neighbors she didn't run to anybody else like some of us don't run into the direction of god when we are in trouble we run to our friends who are also very incapable of giving proper fixation to that problem and that is why we need to know god so that we can enjoy permanence of solutions amen hallelujah so the testing of our faith was very challenging very challenging to have lost your husband and also about to lose your two sons unjustly to pay the debt of her husband but she cried out in despair when you are in trouble are you crying out in the spirit of god are you crying out in despair are you crying out this very day are you crying out being faced with so many problems of life at the workplace at home wherever you are there are so many problems that we face some of them you can't even tell your spouse sometimes you can't tell your best friend but there is god but you can talk to him intimately when you know him and so it's wise to know him before the test come so that when we are in the midst of these turmoils and the the the depression of the waves of struggles and pressures we know who we can cry to we're talking about faith the sure life best because if you don't have faith when these terrible waves tumultuous waves and storms come to engulf us then there is not much for safety but faith will be able to buffer all these challenges because the bible tells us that they just shall live by faith so what it means then that the just the unjust will die without faith and the careless christian who does not build his faith when the challenges come will drown in the sea of worries and doom hallelujah praise god lord said call unto me and i will answer and i will show you great and mighty things that you know not off it is god who you need to call to because your faith as i have said before will be tested for quality to improve its quality it will be tested so that the quality of our faith can be improved hallelujah today as we face so many challenges are you calling on god what is the quality of your faith what is the quality of our faith it is very important to examine that brothers and sisters it's not wishful thinking wishful thinking cannot help you and in many cases neither are your friends able to help you but faith will be tested hallelujah but we see something more in the text not only the testing of our faith having looked at her circumstances and her response but the working of faith in verse 2 to 5. and follow as we look at this portion of scripture so elisha said to her what shall i do for you tell me what do you have in the house and she said your married servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil don't don't don't be misled with when it is said jar because it it means a little bottle or a little cruise something seems insignificant a little jar or a little bottle of olive oil then he said go borrow vessels from everywhere from all your neighbors empty vessels do not gather just a few and when you have come in you shall shut the door behind you and your sons then pour it into all those vessels and set aside the full ones so we're looking at the working of faith look at her action she went to the man of god the believer encouraged to take not to take on the challenges alone she went to the man of god we can go to god and sometimes god provides help us to help us but this believer this woman of god went to god's servant amen she took action that is her action that's her action she got up and went to the man of god because she had a problem removed she took action thus faith by itself if it does not have works is dead i have to have the action i have to take action hallelujah and you know this definition of faith is so very important listen this faith is the firm solid confidence in the promises of god grasping the unseen realities which are embodied in christ let me read that again faith is a firm solid confidence in the promises of god grasping the unseen realities which are embodied in christ and all things in through and by him are amen and amen hallelujah praise the name of jesus so she went to the man of god she took action hallelujah she took action some people say oh i have faith but there is no works no action you have to act upon faith amen praise the lord hallelujah when she went look at his instructions he told her certain things that is from verses in verses 3 to 5. and these instructions flowed from his questioning he questioned her the man of god was available to help her in helping herself in this critical time god is always available to help us in critical situations you know and you have people who believe that kovid is the end as a matter of fact there are so many who talk about kovid you'd believe that covet is a new god and the vaccine is the new god but god is god incomparable god is able to help no matter what the problem no matter what the crisis and so the man of god was available to help her in this critical time and god through the power of his holy spirit is always available to help us when we cry out to him what a remarkable fact that god through the power of the holy spirit is always available to help us when we cry cry out unto him hallelujah and so it is very instructive my beloved brothers and sisters the way elijah addresses the circumstances of this case here what he said what shall i do for you what shall i do for you the prophet had no doubt what the woman wanted but he wanted her to say it out of her own mouth speak what you want me to do for you amen open your mouth and talk and you know jesus asks the same question of those who come to him for healing and other necessities what do you want me to do for you and jesus of course knew exactly what they wanted but they must talk um even the man with the that blind man in luke 18 4 man who is blind what do you want me to do and some of us said then i don't have my sight what do you expect and some of us would say oh what a foolish question it is obvious that i can't see so that must be my my greatest need who says so who says so not because he's blind that that is his greatest need what do you want me to do for you the blind man said to restore my sight the second question we see of elijah to the woman what have thou in the house what up though in the house some of us will say we don't have anything absolutely that's why i'm in such a picture i have nothing but her answer your maid servant has nothing in the house but a little cruise of olive oil a little bottle that's not much that have no use can't even cook a meal and the lord is asking today each of us what do you have at your disposal what do you have in your house you are crying you are bawling you are shrieking in desperation what do you have what do you want me to do these are very pertinent questions because if you ask not you receive not but if your axe you shall receive amen so these are very apparent in questions and so the woman said nothing in the house but a jar or a cruise of olive oil nothing nothing she brought on that little jar even below nothing more insignificant than nothing nothing it was even it's just a little thing there that don't mean anything but that is how god functions the insignificant things are what he uses to bless his people what you have not put value on that is what god places his hand on and you know in this time when there are so much cry for for more things and for help and so on in our situations in our varied situations there are many things that which you would say is only that only that little thing you remember when jesus asked the disciples what bread there there was to feed the multitude of hungry people and they said it's just two a little boy with two barley loaves and five barley loaves and two fishes insignificant insignificant to the disciples many things are insignificant to us but the lord said bring it bring it it is a principle it is a principle both the prophet elijah and our lord jesus plan to start the miracle with what we have no matter how small no matter how insignificant hallelujah put it at the disposal of the lord it works every time it works every time hallelujah it works every time and so every believer must demonstrate that through this or this through trust in god and being dependent upon him hallelujah must trust him being dependent upon god listen his instructions listen his instructions hallelujah we are talking about the working of faith the working of faith you have to act upon your faith no matter how insignificant the situation or the the the item or resource seem to be god can use that very same thing to bring marvelous deliverance impacting the lives of so many amen praise the lord sometimes we believe that if we don't have a lot we can't manage but that is from man's perspective god uses the very small thing to carry out his work hallelujah he uses a very small things the things that are insignificant to carry out his work amen praise the lord and so the widow went from the man of god to exercise her faith in him and what he had instructed her to do verse 5 tells us that so she went from him and shot the door behind her that is after she went and they collected all these vessels you could say they cleaned up all the available empty vessels in the community hallelujah they got all these vessels and she brought them in and closed her door hallelujah praise the name of jesus hallelujah praise god even though it was a very critical time for her she still trusted that things would be worked out for her and her family she never doubted it's important should we really adopt some of this woman's behavior you know james 1 5 tells us if any of you lacks wisdom latimax of god who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him but him let him ask in faith with no doubting for he would doubts is like the wave of the sea driven and tossed about for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the lord he is a double-minded man unstable in all his ways double minded at one time he's up here the next time his belief system is there his fate is bubbling in this direction and he's on top of the world and then the challenges come and his faith is down there like a wave like a ship on the wave just starts to and fro unstable and he will not get anything from the lord you know that's a very serious problem and when people reach that stage they start to blame god that god is not a loving god and he's not caring for them but the real but they have not stopped to realize that they are about a see-saw with their faith no up no don't we have to be stabilized and trust god fully hallelujah and he will take us through the difficulties hallelujah hallelujah listen to this faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word it is through the word of god that our faith will be built up so that when this sea of life gets rough and it seems as if we are going to drone then we fall back on the word and we say thus say the lord this is what you have said and this is what i am standing on and when we do that we'll realize that we become stabilized hallelujah and we know that faith is the sure life vest we will never be drowned never be drowned no matter how the sea of life gets rough the storms become vicious all sorts of storms health storms financial storms social storms all sorts of storms all sorts in numerous storms one blowing from the east one blowing from the west one blowing from the north and one blowing from this soul and you are hemmed in in that middle and you said man this is the end of it the child of god who fixes his or her gaze on god grounded in the word just see all of this as a cradle just rocking to and fro because he will never be drowned hallelujah praise god you know sometimes the lord allow these things to come upon us to see how we will function and so sometimes when one situation has been resolved and we say everything is cool and nice and easy there is no time for holiday because there is another one being built up on the seas coming at us and it comes in such a way like the last storm i was watching on the television [Music] idol when it moved into louisiana and caused great flooding much catastrophe and i saw this house that they showed flooded out with storm water and the person probably could be saying oh yes i am able to go back when the flood subsides but lo and behold they showed that house caught a fire in the midst of this storm so when one problem is off and you believe that you have another you have hope there and something worse coming at you or you stand in a situation like that or sometimes we stand in situations when we are buffeted by the various winds how you stand without a sure foundation in the world strong confidence in god strong confidence faith the sure life vest and so we looked at this behavior of this woman and she obeyed the man of god and so for us we must obey god we have the word of god we must obey him obey him give no one's priority over god's word because you have a lot of advisors you have a lot of advisors and of course the enemy satan has his demons and advisers who can take you off track or you are going to overcome by a strong foundation in the word of god hallelujah praise the name of jesus so it is not only the testing of faith not only the testing of faith the working of faith and we are looking at this riddle but the victory of faith thirdly the victory of faith and we're going to look at verses 6 and 7. now it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said to her son bring me another vessel bring me another vessel you can imagine oh she felt good oil just flowing in these vessels she just poured out that little tot of oil in the big jar and the jars will start to to be filled and she saw just past another i can imagine if it was brother victor you're just here when you look at the valley up the aisle just pass me another just past another she must have been excited she must have been excited to be in the midst of a miracle you can imagine the joy you can imagine how she felt out of a little cruise or a little bottle she was filling jars upon jars the victory of faith exercise your faith work use it and we will see mighty things wrought by god hallelujah so the victory of it god's demonstration god's demonstration and as i said when the vessels were full she was saying to her son bring me another and he said to her the son said to her there is no more there is no more you see when she exercised this faith it was exercised within a community you know she she went to the community and borrowed the vessels and so when she got the benefit of the miracle it was not for her and her family alone others in the community benefited all that god needed was for her to put that little oil at his disposal you know what is your condition what is your condition after you looked at this widow who are you thinking what you see what you see yourself in as a deep hole can you see a little cruise of oil that can be used by god a small thing to deliver so it's not only god's demonstration but there was a threefold deliverance you know how they are when she trusted god it brought about deliverance her debt was paid amen she sold the oil as instructed by the prophet go sell the oil fear of your debt and use the rest her debt was paid the problem that was like a mountain the big problem no does become like an anthill yesterday she couldn't sleep today she is rejoicing yesterday she was being washed with cold sweat but today she's as cool as a cucumber businesswoman overnight enjoying this special oil because it is not this ordinary isle remember the the mirror club the wine and canyon poor water and the drug and everybody was saying how you have this good thing hide off in this place until when you're drunk and that all bad wine and look the best is now the better is here oh you can't do anything like that but that is how god does it he's not an inferior god and it does he does not give things inferior god is a quality god and that is why he wants to give quality and he also wants to give quantity that's why when your faith is tested when our faith is tested he tested he's testing our faith for better quality hallelujah you know matthew 17 20 said if your faith is as a mustard seed you will say to this mountain move from here to there and it will move and nothing will be impossible for you quality faith a little but it is of quality and so sometimes outdoor situations seem impossible trust god trust him with all the
