Prove It

Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:21

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

It is not enough to discover purpose, you need to confirm and prove it.

Oh yes, the word of God confirms it and I am working in it, have you proved it?

There must be proves on every given word.

Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Remember David, after Saul gave him his armour to fight Goliath?

1 Samuel 17:39

And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.

If David had gone after Goliath with king Saul's armour, i am afraid Goliath would have defeated him and Israel had become servants to the Philistines, but he prevailed by the reason of his faith in God and of the proved sling and stone.

Readers, you must prove all things, be it purpose, desires... etc

If God can be proved, why can't you prove that which you have received from him?

Malachi 3:10

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Hebrews 3:9

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

For every purpose, desires, there must be time to prove and in proving, one must be sensitive.

Ecclesiastes 7:23

All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

Gift Of Men

Text: Exodus 17:12

Exodus 17:12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

Oh Jesus, men are gift indeed.

Men in this case, can either be a male or a female as occasion may serve.

Men who have helped us in the time past and now, are rare gift from God. It is impossible to live without the gift

of men. One way or the other, one might have encountered men who will for all want you to succeed no matter the cost, men that have lifted our hands, men that had encouraged us and prayed with/for us.

Men like these are rare gems in the world.

Just yesterday while praying with a friend, she told me about how she had been praying for me and other ministers of God. Immediately I heard those words, joy sprouted out of my heart, nodding that of a truth there are men God deliberately deposit in peoples life and she is such a gift. I have got many a friend like that.

"iron sharpens iron..."

They can only be identified through in the spirit, they're rare.

Biblical Examples:

√ Moses, Aaron and Hur - Exodus 17:8-16

Exodus 17:12 - But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

√ David and Jonathan - 1 Samuel 23: 10-18

1 Samuel 23:16 - And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

√ Peter and the Church - Acts 12:1-11

Acts 12:5 - Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

√ Paul and the Church - Romans 15:27-30, Ephesians 1:15-19

Romans 15:30 - Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Ephesians 1:16 - Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

√ Epaphras and others - Colossians 4:1-14

Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

You have to be sensitive enough to identify them because they're everywhere. Locate yours.

Jesus Loves You!
