Sermon Title: AT DIRE MOMENT
Preface/Prologue
At
that point where there seems to be no way out; that very moment where our hopes
have being iced still by the severity of our burdens and toils, “I mean that
instance where it all seems impossible as all hopes shutters quasi-”, and then
God causes a solution that is not imaginable and un-fathomable at that
precipice of time, then we will fully realize the awesome power and authority
of GOD to make the unimaginable happen. ‘HE IS GOD’.
“THE STORY” is
the message
A little boy and his
mom has for long bore the toils or troubles of the world and though they have
families and friends to look up to for help or solace, they still lived a
seemingly lonely life because of the neglect they experience from their
fraternity, friends and foes. To them life was not worth living but they just
have to live for each. With no husband and no Daddy to cater for them, it was
up to the mom to care for and look after her son. This responsibility she
carried with a heart so pure and with truth of purpose just as every loving mom
would.
As their toils
continued, they could not stop their upheavals; they could not control their
fraught and distraught and slowly their hope of a great bliss that awaits
started dwindling. Oh! What a life that prickles the soul with fright and
hopelessness, but still there is a GOD of great Splendor and Glory watching. In
all their frailties, pangs, burden and neglect GOD still was never far rather
HE was and is still ever caring and will continue to rule with lenity, love and
lavished grace so full.
Always remember this “In all, there is always a GOD who cares because he
sees all and HE is the ALPHA and OMEGA”
It got to a time
where the mom became weary ergo she took ill and was really sick leaving the
little boy, her son scared and disgruntled (He was so confused and afraid). OH!
What can a little boy do now that the only mom he’s got is so sick? What
thought of health or remedy can he possibly have? Just as many would say “he is
just a kid and might not be able to offer anything”. But does GOD really care about
age, size or strength?
The little boy went
out to search for anyone who could help and so he looked out for friends;
uncles; aunties etc. who before now never cared about them but found none and
then he got even more scared and frustrated. With all his effort coming to
naught, with a sulky face and zonked limbs he walked hopelessly and with no
direction. With an unsteady gait and in a haze, he stumbled and fell at the
feet of a man very much unknown by him.
Unaware off where He
was and with a grimace he said “I’m so sorry sir I had no Idea of how I managed
to get here and must have fell at your feet subconsciously”. The man looked at
him and without inkling, he could see his feeble heart born from his grief and
could feel his pain resulting from the grief, ergo he was pushed to ask “what
is wrong my dear Boy”? Right then there the little boy exposed all of his
burdens and told him about his very sick mom while the unknown man listened without
a quibble. After every story was told and listened to, the unknown man said to
him as he asked him a very simple question.
Question: Do You Know Jesus Christ Or
Have You Heard Of Him Before Now?
Boy’s
Reply: Yes I know him and have heard of him but can He save the only Mom I’ve
got?
Strange man’s reply: Well yes He can, He is a Mighty GOD. All you need do is Pray to Him and He will answer with delight.
For GOD respects no manner of
trevail, I mean he solves every trouble that may seem inexorable. Son! Remember
Psalm chapter 36 verse 9 that reads “For with thee (GOD) is the fountain of
Life: in thy light shall we see light” while you pray and you will be
marveled at the miracle revealed.
Oh! With these
assuring words from the strange man about Jesus Christ, the little boy ran
straight home in peace and thought of the nirvana after. He got home and with a
message ripe for harvest he embraced his Mom and cried Mom! I learnt of someone
so awesome; gracious; loving; merciful; and mighty, His name is Jesus
Christ and He can save you.
Mom’s reply with a
faint voice: Are you sure He can? Because I feel like I’m near
death and I am so hopeless right now.
Filled
with faith like a mustard seed, the little boy said mom! Do you trust me?
Mom’s reply: Yes!!!
Well, I trust in GOD to heal you and I’m certain that HE will. ‘After
these words, He prayed’.
Prayer
Dear
GOD, you sent your son Jesus Christ to die that my sins and my mom’s sins be
attorn for. This act alone tells of the love all surpassing that you have for
me and my mom ergo it is so true that your will for my mom is to prosper in
health I believe. I know in time past myself and my mom has somehow forsaken
you but out of unknowledge and I’m sorry. Please kind GOD, just as Psalm
Chapter 36 Verse 9 says “for with Thee is the fountain of life and in thy light
we see light”, give life unto my mom as you heal her. I trust you will heal her
because you are gracious and merciful Amen.
Just after his
prayers he smiled at the mom who still was travailing and asked her, Mom! How
do you feel?
Mom’s
reply: I feel so cold and squeamish.
The little boy
refuted that answer in faith and said to the mom please close and open your
eyes and check again.
Mom:
Did that.
As she opened her
eyes, the glory of the Lord was revealed and she got the healing.
Mom:
Screamed in worship and said to her son I’m well again.
Seeing his mom
leaping with joy, the little boy remembered the strange man that brought the
light of God into his home through the message of hope he offered and wondered
who that man really was. Well, he said in his heart, Thank you GOD for what you have done and as he
turned to the Mom, unexpectedly his mom pecked him and asked him of the
stranger who told him about Jesus Christ. But then the work of the strange man
was done and was nowhere near anymore for he is itinerant and must continue in
his journey hence he could not be traced by them.
Yes! In the end,
their hope for nirvana that was thought of as nigh was once more rekindle and
they continued their life in epiphany with Jesus Christ as their Father,
relative and friend. Remember all these were triggered by words of reassurance
and faith. Trust me, the blissful turn over you need starts with a more sure
word of truth, faith, love and hope with leverage in Jesus Christ.
The Prayer of a Young and Meek
Heart.
(You
do not need to be young physically, just have a young heart that is always
seeking for solace from GOD).
Now, what do you think you should
do “At Dire Moment"?
Written as inspired by Franklyn Dono.
The End.
