Faith small as a mustard seed

Luke 17:6 says, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you." The size of our faith doesn't matter, whether it's big or small it has the potency to make an impact. What matters is that we should have faith in our hearts through the word of God, and we must exercise it. We may not know everything about God, but what we do know about Him should produce faith in us and lead us to put it into action. 

Knowing God is not just about intellectual knowledge, but it's an experiential touch of the Almighty God in our spirit through the light of His revealed word. Knowing God is about building our faith, confidence, and a personal relationship with Him. There must be a communion between our spirit and the Spirit of God for the light of life inside the scriptures to be revealed to us, and for faith to be formed in our hearts.

Regular communion with God through prayer and meditation in the word of God leads to the formation of the light of God in our hearts which eventually produces faith that does things that look impossible. Faith can be recognized when it is formed in the heart through its ability to ignite the heart towards God. We should have faith in God for all things because all things are possible through faith. 

Faith can widen our visions beyond what our physical eyes can see and far above what we think is possible. Faith sees open doors beyond the barriers that physical eyes see. Faith does not consider obstacles nor meditate on difficulties but thinks only of possibilities. If faith is present in our hearts, no mountain can stand before us. Faith can handle any problem and save lives. But faith that is not expressed can do nothing. 

When we recognize that faith is not present in our hearts for what we want God to do for us, we shouldn't deceive ourselves and think that without faith we can receive anything from God. But to always go to the scriptures and ask the Spirit of God to reveal the word of God to our hearts and inspire faith in us for the thing we want from God.

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...
