Don’t Let Your Ship Sink 2

Song To Meditate On: His Strength is Perfect (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO-7OZJ17M0)

“The ship doesn't sink because it is in the water, it sinks only when the water gets inside of it. You can sail through the storms of life as long as you don't allow the elements of the storm to get inside of you.” This was a quote from one of Bishop TD Jakes, a very popular televangelist sermon.

Yesterday we spoke about some elements of the storms of life that you should not allow inside of your ship. You might be asking how we secure our ships so that these elements do not come in:

1.   Be alert and sober minded (1 Peter 5:8) – Ladies it is important that you check your ship for holes, broken doors or any space that water can come in as this will cause your ship to sink. In other words it is important that you do a regular assessment of yourself, your walk with God, your marriage and your dreams to see if there are any areas of neglect that will allow the elements to come in and destroy.

2.   Be Prayerful (1 Thess 5:17) – During the storms it is always important to call for backup. Mayday! Mayday! Alert the persons on shore that there is a storm and you may need help. God is our backup during the hard times, He is our helper and He will take us safely through the storm. As such pray and let God know what your plans are. Ask him for help in advance and during the storm instead of being doubtful or fearful petition God.

3.   Stay Positive (Phil 4:13) – Sinking is not an option so always stay positive believing that God will give you the strength to weather the storm. The scripture reminds us that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Never forget that His strength is perfect even when we are weak.

Ladies today despite whatever storms you are going through be determined that you are not going to allow the ship to sink.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies

Let’s Pray,

Lord we thank that your strength perfect and we can depend on you to take us through our storms. Therefore Lord as we main vigilant and prayerful we leave it in your safe and loving arms.

In Jesus Name

Amen
