God is in control

Mark 4: 35-41

Words 35: Jesus was alone with his disciples for sometimes and he is taking them to the other place or other shore for a purpose

Why did he take them to the other shore?

He wants to achieve a special mission over there, that to was to heal the demon possessed man

When you want to achieve or do a special thing for God there is an opposition, trouble on the way but remember you are going to do a special mission

When He takes you to the other shore He will provide the resources and everything that you needed to fulfill the mission

Word 38: Jesus was in the stern

Where is stern? It is a most dangerous place – when take you to the other shore he is there in the most dangerous place and he keeps you in the secure place. Even he take care of you because he has initiated the journey

Do you still have no faith?

Why Jesus did ask them this question?

• They have seen the wonderful things that Jesus has  done for them and for others still they don’t have faith
• Words 35- the journey is not started by themselves, it is initiated by Jesus. Jesus said “Let us go over to the other side” still they are not put their trust in Him
• Words 36- leaving the crowed behind, they took Him along, just as He was, in the boat: they took him along with them just as He was, still they are doubting or afraid

Remember, this journey is not started or initiated by us, it is by the divine purpose, He started- when he start it and He is completely responsible for you -to take you to the other shore

He never promised you that there won’t be crisis / trouble / persecution on the way but He promised to be with you or reach you to the other shore

In your journey you may be tired / weary / not able to move forward because of the storm, remember he who initiated the journey he has a plan for the storm that he allows in your way.


So relax;God is in control!
