Presentation transcript:

1 Peter 5:10 “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

What do we mean by “dead end?” Literally -end of the road -no way further Figuratively -lacking opportunities especially for advancement -a situation in which further progress is impossible -problematic circumstance which has no solution

We sometimes reach “dead ends”.. Problems Conflicts in Relationship Financial Scarcity Spiritual Crisis

We searched for solutions, but...

Paul also encountered the same problem.. 2 Corinthians 4: 8,9 “We are hard PRESSED on every side, but not crushed; PERPLEXED, but not in despair; PERSECUTED, but not abandoned; STRUCK DOWN, but not destroyed.”

Lessons From Paul On How To Face “Dead Ends”... PPPPPP raising God ersevere hardships aying attention to God’s voice

I. PRAISING GOD Acts 16:25 “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.”

“A person who kneels before God can stand in any problems..” All bondages that bind us will be broken and destroyed.. -bondage of poverty -bondage of immorality -bondage of immaturity -bondage of witchcraft/superstitious beliefs -bondage of occultism -all bondages of sin Luke 1:37 “For nothing is impossible with God."

II. PERSEVERE HARDSHIPS James 1: 4 “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

Success is for those who deserve it. “Winners never quit, and quitters never win.” Its true that God allows trials so that we will grow spiritually. BUT.. It does not mean that He doesn’t want us to prosper. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the L ORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. WE ONLY HAVE TO PERSEVERE UNTIL WE FINISH DOING HIS WILL.

III. PAYING ATTENTION TO GOD’S VOICE John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

A sheep gets lost when it refuses to follow the shepherd. Same With Us If We Follow Our Own Will Proverbs 16:25 “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” We are spiritually blind because of sin and pride.. Our worldly desires drag us always to danger.. Christ is calling us.. -to avoid danger by following His words Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Are you facing a Dead End? -just continue PRAISING God -learn to PERSEVERE -PAY ATTENTION to God’s instructions
