Will Your Formula Work?

ByProf. Rei Kesis April 25, 2018October 31, 2026

“Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?” – _SDAH 534 Will Your Anchor Hold_

What a sobering question! The anchor is what sailors rely on to stabilize and stop the ship even in the wildest storms. But weak anchors have failed and risked lives and goods. Weak anchors have been found useless when a serious storm appears. Property and lives have been lost because of anchors that failed in times of storms. Will your anchor hold as you sail off to the sea of life today?

Will my formula of getting out of trouble work incase a crisis befell me today? What is your formula and method of getting out of trouble? Is it saved money? Insurance cover? Connection with people? Academic achievements? Experience? Witchcraft? Etc. Will it work?

The rest of the song affirms that Jesus is a better anchor that has never failed. May Jesus be your anchor today…and may He cause you to rejoice IN THE STORM and DURING THE STORM as you sing ” *We have an anchor!* ” When others ask how you survived you tell them, ” *We have an anchor* !” When people in desperation ask you, what will you do, how will you survive…may your answer referring to Jesus affirm, ” *We have an anchor!* ” Whatever comes our way today…we have Jesus and our response is, ” *We have an anchor!* ”

Can You Control This? Many Keep Failing
July 21, 2022July 21, 2022

As we mature we learn to control our bodies. We should also control our bodies when sexual desires kick in. Control your body by refusing to engage in sexually arousing chats and talks. Control your body by disposing of and refusing to consume pornographic materials. Control your body by having dates and meetings with members of the opposite gender in public spaces where you cant be tempted to get intimate. Control your body by selecting movies and music that don’t give you suggestions of sexual nature. Control your body with difficulty at the beginning but over time by God’s grace, you will have managed to control your body in sexual matters. This is the control at which many keep failing.

Be Worried If You Feel Nothing
April 4, 2021April 4, 2021

Be worried if you feel nothing. Feeling nothing is not an achievement of freedom from worrying. Feeling nothing could be an eternally fatal malady. Feeling nothing could be a final stage of eternal spiritual and then physical death. What does it mean to feel nothing?
In Your Busy Schedule Include This!
September 22, 2022September 22, 2022

When circumstances change, your colleagues, neighbors, and friends may change. However, when circumstances change your family does not. You can retire from business but not from family. You can be too old or too sick to be at your place of business, but you can never be too old or too ill for your family. God forbid, but the dying bed is surrounded by family most times and only token time by friends and colleagues. Therefore, create time for your family and be at home with them even in your busy schedule!
Variety of Music for the same Purpose
February 15, 2022February 15, 2022

Whatever type of religious music we consume, it should clearly and directly praise God, then richly implant God’s word in us. If music doesn’t do that it is not appropriate for us. We must gauge all music by this standard.
