Ignite Your Faith

In Judges 6:14, the Lord appeared to Gideon and commanded him to go in his might and save Israel from the Midianites. Gideon discovered his strength to face the enemy when God revealed himself to him. This revelation of God's might was intended to empower him to do the impossible. Discovering our strength and abilities in the word of God ignites and instils faith in our hearts to confront great tasks, and our enemies and obliterate their attacks. It makes us audacious to preach the gospel and proclaim the counsels of God.

Knowing God helps us discover our identity and strength in Christ. It allows us to think and speak like God in any situation we are in. Our success in life and ministry hinges on our knowledge of the personalities in Christ. The more we know God intimately, the more we discover ourselves in the light of His words, the more our faith grows in Christ, and the stronger we become to do great things. As we grow in our knowledge of God, we will have the faith to do what we could not do before, and God will accomplish great works through us.

To execute the works of God, we need complete faith in Him and His Word. The Word of God imparts the knowledge of God and reveals His love and power towards us. We must all know God personally and believe Him so that God will be able to do His supernatural works through us all. When God assigns us, He doesn't trust our strength to accomplish His great plans, but our faith and obedience to His instructions.

Abraham is a prime example of someone who had firm faith in God's ability to fulfil His promise. His robust faith came from being fully convinced of God's power through his knowledge of God. We must all ignite our faith and strengthen it regularly through the knowledge of the word of God so that we can be relevant in the works of 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...
