Test of Trust I
“Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! “But you ask, ‘What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you? “You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me” Mal.3:8
Everything we own is a test of our trust. It was that trust that the enemy was attacking with Adam and Eve. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil” Gen.3:5. God had told Adam and Eve do not eat of this fruit. The same way growing up a lot of us grew up to revere “daddy’s chair” in our own homes as well Read the rest of this entry
Faith At Its Peak
“And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead—a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them” Heb.11:12
What is Abraham’s example? In Abel’s example faith puts God first, in Enoch’s example faith walks with God, in Noah’s example faith does what God says. In Abraham’s example faith waits patiently on God. And that is ironic, in fact, that is like a misnomer. Faith waits patiently on God. Faith is action so how can faith wait patiently? The irony of faith is that faith is at its peak when it is patient. Is that Scriptural? Yes and I will show you 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.
Reliable God!
“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end” Ecc.3:11
Reliability is something that we crave in our relationships. If you are in any kind of relationship with anyone, you will subconsciously crave for the person to be at least reliable. Imagine having colleagues that are not reliable and having to work on the same project with them. As a businessman, imagine having some employees that are Read the rest of this entry
Favour isn’t Fair
“When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you” Luke 15:17-18.
Jesus was walking down the road, a whole lot of people were following Him and He got to a place looked up and said, “Zaccheus, today I’m going to eat lunch in your house”. Excuse me! What about those of us who have been following you for ten hours? Is that fair? Zaccheus, a sinner – it is not fair. A young rich man came to Read the rest of this entry
You Don’t Lose
“How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?” Gal.3:3.
“Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross” Gal.3:1. When we take our eyes off Jesus, when He ceases to be enough for us, we’ll find ourselves going back to the things He delivered us from. The Bible says ye are gods, so let us Read the rest of this entry
Expect Settlement
‘He drove out the nations before them; he gave them their inheritance by lot. He settled the tribes of Israel into their homes’ Ps.78:55.
God’s Word about establishment is true today as it was in time past. A lot of times when we receive a new Word, we forget about the promises before it. It is important to remember that as long as you hold on to a promise, God will bring it to pass. So if you are still looking to God for establishment in certain areas then be most assured that He will establish you. As 2014 expires, remember His promises in time past and be Read the rest of this entry
God’s Masterpiece
‘For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago’ Eph.2:10.
Finally don’t ever forget that God is making a masterpiece out of your life. The clay derives its value from the creativity of the Potter. Your value is not based on how good looking you are, or how wealthy you are, or how ugly you are. Your value is based on how creative and awesome your God is. Feeling that you are not valuable is casting aspersions at your creator. If you define yourself by what has happened Read the rest of this entry
Keep Trusting
‘Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you which of his sons to anoint for me.” 1 Sam.16:4.
Knowledge comes line upon line, precept upon precept. God said to Samuel, ‘I will show you who to anoint. If I tell you the name, you will quickly go there and publish it. So go there first then I will show you’ [translated]. For many of us, God has said you are going to get married to this man and He has told you about the man. Years have passed and you are saying, “are these all the men?” I have good news for you today, David is coming! Believe me! I hope Read the rest of this entry
Trust And Obey
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine’ Isa.55:8
God will ask you sometimes to behave as though you already have what you are requesting of Him. It is foolishness but faith is obeying God even though I don’t understand it. Faith is giving even when I don’t have it. God says give this mount, and you say, “Lord, I don’t even have it”. Faith is giving what you don’t have. Faith is persisting when I don’t feel like it. How can a leper go to the priest? But as they obeyed Jesus, as they moved, the Bible says they were healed. I tell people that they don’t have a money Read the rest of this entry
