(((Remaining Calm under Crisis))) 

Crisis are inevitable, we just find ourselves in them. Sometimes they find us unprepared, sometimes even in churches we get no prophecies to alert us, even though we get them but mostly they have no solution. Inside a human soul there is always that anxiety of impending dangers, that we can't control and tend to be out of our hands, but all thanks to be our God that when things get out of our hands they fall into His, as David the man of many crisis once said;  ( 1Ch 21:13 KJV) And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. We are safe in the hands of the Lord, no crisis can shake us and no terror can harm us. In His hand we remain calm in commotions, peaceful in wars, and well feed in famines and no one can snatch us out of His hand. 

When we know that we are in the Hand of God there is no need to panic, there is no need to have cold feet. No man of God was ever frightened in crisis apart from Elijah when he heard Jezebel's threats, Moses was facing the Reasea with no way out, the Children of Israel were afraid but Moses remained calm in the Hand of God (Exo 14:14). The servant of Elisha was in cold feet when they were surrounded by the army and his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them, but Elisha never panicked, he remained calm, and prayed that God may open the eyes of his servant (1Kings 6:15-19). Israel's army gathered together at Shochoh and Azekah, where Goliath mocked the army of Israel, it was evident that were in crisis. It happened that David was doing his errands taking food to his brothers in the army, being guided by the hand of God, it happened that he heard the voice of Goliath mocking the Hand of God that was guiding him. The young man never panicked but attacked Goliath and killed him.    

When we receive Christ and believe in Him our spiritual identity changes automatically, we become born again. We no longer measure ourselves according to worldly standards, but our identity and nature evolve to be like Christ. As the Word says that (John 4:17... because as he is, so are we in this world.)  Jesus and His disciples entered in a boat, and crossed to the other side. Suddenly fierce storm came up, High waves breaking into the boat, this was also a crisis, but Jesus remained calm and was sleeping, He was showing us that we must no react as the world does, we must stay calm! and when waking up He commanded the storm to be silent and it was so. Meaning we are given power to command crisis to disappear and vanish. We must take Jesus character in the boat, because as He was in the boat as We are now crisis.

It is impossible to remain calm under crisis if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior! Pray this prayer below after us GraceLife experience... 

"Lord Jesus I accept you as my personal Savior, I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, also believe in my heart the He raised from the dead. Today I am saved, born again, justified and righteous. Amen."

If you prayed from the bottom of your heart, do not hesitate to comment and let us know. 

[When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”] 

(Mark 4:39-40)
