Faith Is… II
Hebrews 11:11 “Sarah, too, had faith… for she realized that God, who gave her his promise, would certainly do what he said.” (LB).
We know something will happen only when God says it will happen. Hebrews 11:11 “…Abraham trusted that God would keep his promise.” (GWT). Why did Abraham leave his home country and travel to a strange land? It is because God promised. Read the rest of this entry
Faith Is… I
Hebrews 11:1 “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.” (LB, emphasis added).
Before we begin to look at growing our faith, let us first answer the question, what is faith? The first thing we need to realize about faith is that Faith Is Higher Than HOPE. Hope is wanting something to be that is not, and having no assurance that it will be. Read the rest of this entry
Ready?
Deuteronomy 6:5 “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. Love God, your God… with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got!” (NLT&MSG)
Who would you say was the greatest king in the Bible? Can you guess? David? David was the most famous. But who did the Word of God call the greatest king in the Bible? Interestingly not David. Was it Solomon? Solomon was the wisest and arguably the wealthiest. Read the rest of this entry
Immediately
Genesis 22:2-3 “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering… The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and… set out for the place God had told him about.”
I should move fast When God Tells Me to Do Something. For a lot of people, Jesus is beckoning on you. You need to respond immediately. For some, it is an instruction God has given to you, but you are not doing it immediately. That is the fastest way to get out of sync in life. Read the rest of this entry
Changeless
James 1:17 “Every good and perfect gift is from… the Father… who does not change like shifting shadows.” (NIV, emphasis added).
What kind of Father is God? God is a caring and consistent Father. The truth is that inconsistent fathers produce insecure children. When you see insecure children, check, they often have inconsistent fathers. Remember the statistics we shared some days ago? Read the rest of this entry
Rock Solid!
Matthew 16:18 “Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.”
Anything you build that is not built on Christ, the Word, is going to crumble. If it is your money, your finances, that you Read the rest of this entry
The Objective
Isaiah 62:7 “Tirelessly pester God—give Him no rest—until He re-establishes Jerusalem and makes it worthy of praise throughout the whole world.” (Voice)
The first phase Jacob experienced before he could walk in the blessing was the Crisis Phase. As it is said, God whispers in our pleasures, but He shouts in our pain. Pain helps us hear God shouting. Sometimes, God uses conflict, trauma, or pain to get our attention. Read the rest of this entry
All
Psalm 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all.” (NRSV).
God wants us to remember even in the valley, that The Reward Will Last Forever! Remember God Has a Good Purpose Even For The Valley! And Remember that You Are Not Alone! God wants us to remember that regardless of the valleys we go through, we are never alone. I am not alone. Read the rest of this entry
Bear In Mind
Psalm 84:6-7 “As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.” (NIV)
From today’s anchor scripture it is clear that we will go through valleys. There are different kinds of valleys, but these four we have highlighted in the past few days are guaranteed valleys. In the Name of Jesus, we will go from strength to strength, to strength until we show up before God in Zion. Read the rest of this entry
God Of All!
Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honoured by every nation. I will be honoured throughout the world.”
Life is a mixture of highs and lows. Life is a mixture of ups and downs. And if we do not understand that about life, when we experience valleys or challenges, we will think something is wrong with us. So, people are asking, ‘who have I offended?’ And seeking to resolve their problems and eliminate all the valleys. Read the rest of this entry
