By Example
“It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. Abel’s offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by his example of faith” Heb.11:4
I have been in church long enough to know that this issue of faith can be so abstract. Sometimes you even get afraid that maybe you do not have faith or the required amount of faith. Does that happen to you? It is as though everyone else has faith but you. Some people have made it their duty to be the barometer of faith. They tell you, you have hope and not faith, and they have faith. My response to such people is this your faith what has it done for you? Show me Read the rest of this entry
By Faith
“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him” Heb.11:6
The Bible is a Book of faith and for the next few days we will be learning from the portion we can call the passage of faith because it is most dedicated to faith. Please read and study Hebrews 11:1-40. The Lord bless you with understanding as you read His Word.
The First Principle
“It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God.” Heb.11:5
God is interested in the order in which you do what you do. God is interested in what you give first place to. I wake up in the morning, hit the floor, and worship God – that is faith. Putting God first is faith; you are saying there is God and acknowledging that there is a God. For instance when you move from location A to location B, what do you do first? It is called the First Principle. What you do first shows you immediately where you need to begin to work on Read the rest of this entry
Living Stress Free?
“Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life” Jn.8:12
Have you remembered to thank God for this day and for His kindness? Now and again we can say that this period or that period in our lives has been the most stressful of our year so far. Stress that comes from meeting up with obligations, or attending parties just to show we care or are a part of “who is who” in the society. Read the rest of this entry
Get Ready!
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake” Ps.23:3 [KJV]
I discovered that it does not hurt to believe. You need to quiet that thought in your mind that is consistently saying what if you believe and nothing happens then you will look foolish. So what? When such thoughts cross my mind, because they do, my response is so what? Am I not already a fool for Christ? I have no reputation to Read the rest of this entry
Fly Again
“Then he said, “The truth is, you must change your thinking and become like little children. If you don’t do this, you will never enter God’s kingdom. The greatest person in God’s kingdom is the one who makes himself humble like this child” Matt.18:3-4.
Over the next few weeks we will be learning how to make our lives count and I am confident that God will change your lives completely. This was birthed from a process God took me through. When we were growing up a lot of us, if not all of us made statements like this, ‘when I grow up I want to…’ ‘When I grow up I will…’. But recently, I realized that I now say ‘before I Read the rest of this entry
Bloom!
“With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands, and encourage those who have weak knees. Say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you.” Isa.35:3-4
Are you weary? Are your knees feeble? Is your heart fearful? Are you discouraged? I have been sent to tell you today that your God is coming to save you. He is coming to cause you to glow. God is saying to us BLOOM! When God first gave us this Word, I did not have a clue what it meant but I researched it and became very excited. To bloom means to glow, you will glow this year and beyond. You are going Read the rest of this entry
All In!
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him” Ps.24:1.
In building altars and sacrifices, there should be nothing in your life that you cannot give to God. You shouldn’t have a sacred cow that you cannot sacrifice. You would be setting yourself up for a fall if you did because satan would know that that is your weakness and he will come after it. But if there is nothing in your life that you cannot offer up to God even when they are still in your control, then you Read the rest of this entry
About Altars
“A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out” Lev.6:13.
Many times when God wants to change someone’s life, it starts like an ordinary day. You may have woken up thinking today is an ordinary day. But I have news for you; today your life is going to be totally changed for good in the Mighty Name of Jesus. I am really excited about this season because there are monumental things that are shifting and have shifted forever in our lives. We have been Read the rest of this entry
Spiritual Insight
“For as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about” Acts 17:23.
An altar is a place where divinity meets with humanity. An altar is a place where God [the Maker of the heavens and earth] meets with us [human beings]. Any place God chooses to meet man or man discovers that God is, becomes an altar. Remember the two key things when it comes to an altar are Faith and Sacrifice. Read the rest of this entry
