*STORMS IN AND OUT OF THE BOAT*

                                         


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  15 July 2023*


SCRIPTURE: God is our refuge and Strength, a very Present Help in trouble - *Psalms 46:1*


When Jesus was in the boat with the Disciples, there was a Great Storm, it was so serious that they thought they were going to Perish - *Mark. 4:35-41*


Peter got out of the boat and was walking on water. He shifted his gaze to the boisterious wind and he began to sink - *Matthew 14:29-31*


*It is clear that in and outside the boat, there is a storm. This has a number of implications:*


*(1)* Storms are real in Life. They are not strange - *1 Peter 4:12*


*(2)* Whatever you do, wherever you are, you will experience the Storm - *Isaiah 43:2*


*(3)* Storms should not be an excuse for not breaking New Grounds. 


In spite of Storms, we can break New Grounds and attain a New Heights. 


The wind was boisterous throughout the Period Peter walked on water - *Matthew14:29-31*


*(4)* Storms will not last forever -  *2 Corinthians 4:17*


Everything that has a beginning must surely have an end.


*(5)* With the help of God, Storms are surmountable.


Peter overcame the adverse effect of Storms through the Help of God.


*Our God, according to our Anchor Text is the very Present Help in trouble. He is always ready to help whenever we are in trouble.*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please deliver me and my family from the adverse effects of Storms and don't allow me to be ridiculed.

Wisdom is a critical requirement for profitable life in time and in eternity.  ●Ecclesiastes 10:10 makes it clear that wisdom is profitable to direct.  ●So, it is not possible to experience a profitable life in this world and in the world to come without wisdom. This means, the absence of wisdom is the abundance of losses, losses in this life and in the life to come. People lose where wisdom is lacking. People even lose their souls in eternity in hellfire because they did not apply their hearts to wisdom on the earth. A profitable
