Take a step of faith

The book of Philippians teaches us that God is working in us to achieve His good pleasure. However, it is up to us to take the necessary step of faith to bring what God is working in us into reality. By exercising faith in Him, God will strengthen and help us fulfill His plans for our lives. Without demonstrating faith, nothing that God has intended for us will come to pass.

Unfortunately, many believers today do not act out their faith in Christ daily. Instead, they rely on their human nature and miss out on the glory of God in their lives. They keep Christ in their hearts but do not allow Him to be made manifest in their lives or take the lead in their actions. We must live our lives to please Jesus Christ wherever we are so that His characters and His glory will be made visible to the world through us. 

Having Christ in our lives but not allowing Him to breathe out through us is of no use to God and the world. Our lives would not be different from those who have not received Christ. The Christ in us is the hope of the glorious life that God has purposed for every believer. Let us put our faith in Christ so that we will be able to attain the glorious life that God has proposed for us.

We must intentionally create space in our hearts through our daily communion with Christ and be obedient to every instruction He gives to us for Him to be able to increase in importance in our lives. By doing so, we will receive amazing and timely counsel needed for our breakthroughs, and transformation.

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...
