Lord, Save Me!!

TOPIC: LORD, SAVE ME!

TEXT: MATTHEW 14:23-31

PREACHER: PASTOR J.T. KALEJAIYE

This is an emergency cry. An emergency cry is a cry that requires an urgent attention. It could also be a cry of desperation or also a cry for help.

According to the passage, Peter was in trouble; he cried unto Jesus for help and Jesus rescued him. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. There are some lessons to be learnt from the above passage;

1.       Those who cry unto God can never cry unto man: Peter cried unto Jesus and Jesus rescued him fro death. Further examples of those that cried to Jesus are

Blind Bartemaeus (Mark 10:46-52), the ten lepers (Luke 17:12-19). Jesus is willing and ever ready to help- Psalm 34:17, Psalm 107:19, Psalm 145:19. However, it is possible for some cry to go into voicemail – Proverbs 21:13, Psalm 66:18, Isaiah 59:1&2.

2.       I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me: Peter walked on water; the law of gravity was suspended for his sake. 1 Samuel 2:9^b, John 15:5.

3.       Beware of Doubt: When Peter doubted, he began to sink. Another example of a man that doubted and also faced the consequence is in 2 Kings 7:1&2.

PRAYER POINTS
