*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.
