Be of good cheer

John 16:33: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."


God has sent His words ahead of us in the scriptures to inform us of the victory He has given to us over all that the devil may do against us so that we wouldn't have to be afraid or confused, but to be of good cheer. The words of God prepared our minds for what to expect from the world for being on the side of Christ so that we will develop faith in God and respond always with a faith attitude to every challenge that may come our way. If we are not enlightened to know what God has said about the troubles we are facing, there is the likelihood of responding as a natural man with fear in that situation and we will miss the help that God has prepared for us to save us from our troubles. Jesus has overcome all our fears and troubles and we don't have to be afraid of any of them. Despite the enemies that may be on our way in our adventure of fulfilling our God-given dreams and visions, by faith in the words of God we will progress in our pursuits and reach the summit that God has prepared for us. Everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world and our faith in the word of God is what wins the victory over the world. Victory in life belongs to those who have absolute faith in the word of God and who are courageous enough to exercise their faith in God amid their adversities. Faith looks forward ever and never looks backward. If we want to enjoy a life of victory in this part of eternity where God placed us now, we must be primed in the words of God and never give up on believing in Him irrespective of what and who is against us.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
