MEMORY VERSE: “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters”. – Psalm 23:2
BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalm 23:1-6
[1] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
[3] He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
[4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
[5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
[6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
INTRODUCTION
Sheep do not birth their lambs turbulent or stormy place; away from others to deliver what inside of them. Adam, while in the garden, a calm place, was able to name, categorise and file all the animals without any physical aid (computer, pen, paper, etc.)- Genesis 2:15, 19-20. The still water is a calm place where God brings you to maximise your potential. When your head is “clear” you can think, remember, and evolve. The challenge is how to achieve the calmness that will birth the greatness inside when constantly bombarded with ‘noise’ (challenges, troubles, trials, etc.).
LESSON OUTLINES
1. SILENCE THE ‘NOISE’
2. FIND GREEN PASTURES
SILENCE THE ‘NOISE’
Ships do not sink because they pass through waters but because the waters pass through them. With God on your side, you have the power to prevent the negative occurrences around you from taking over your mind and abilities. Silence the voice of mediocrity, bitterness, regrets, etc. and constantly assure yourself that you are made for greatness (Proverbs 23:7a; Hebrews 12:15). Deal with any destructive behaviour to protect your self-esteem. Avoid being so busy or cumbered, with just trying to survive, focus on accomplishing your visions and goals (Proverbs 29:18). Be time conscious and avoid going round in circles (John 9:4). Stop being reactive, wake up daily with an agenda and a sense of urgency, and direction (Philippians 4:8). Close all loopholes in your marriage, family, career, etc. and work towards unity, prosperity and dominion. Your prosperity is a reflection of your inside (3 John 2). Do not limit your vision to your situation. Sometimes your situation may be preparing you for where God is taking you (Genesis 45:5-8). Dare to.stand out rather than fit in.
FIND GREEN PASTURES
Green pasture is a place of freshness or newness (lsaiah 43:19). He maketh me lie down in green pastures’ means God is willing to make you rest in the blessings He has given you (Ecclesiastes 2:24; 1 Timothy 6:17). To “lie down in green pasture’ could mean being hopeful again after series of disappointments (Job 14:7), receiving the ability and strength to love again after a hurt (1Corinthians 13:4, 7), to want to live again after barely escaping from depression (Job 6:11; 14:14), to believe that afflictions shall not rise again (Nahum 1:9), to try again and succeed in areas where you have once failed (Micah 7:8), to receive peace and let go of offenses, bitterness, and anger that has held you captive for long (John 14:27; Ephesians 4:31), etc.
CONCLUSION
You cannot be in a place of still waters until you let go of the things distracting you or invading your space.
QUESTIONS
1. Mention four ways to silence the noise in your life
2. Describe in three areas you can dwell in green pastures.
