It pays to obey God

Luk 5:6: "And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke."

This verse highlights the importance of obeying God's instructions rather than being idle or doing as we please. When Peter and his companions followed Jesus's directive to lower their nets, they caught a large number of fish. This demonstrates that obeying God's commands leads to blessings. It's crucial to regularly expose ourselves to God's words through reading and listening, as it strengthens our faith and enables us to obey God and receive His blessings.

Without hearing and understanding God's word, we cannot develop the faith needed to obey Him. The fulfilment of God's word in our lives is dependent on our active faith and obedience. God works with those who grasp His purpose, receive it through faith, and act upon it through prayer and obedience. Before God's intentions for our lives can come to fruition, we must obey His specific words with precision. This is why it is imperative for us to diligently seek an understanding of God's word and faithfully adhere to His instructions. 

God has saved us so that we may fulfil His purpose here on earth. Without our active participation in prayer, unwavering faith and obedience to His instructions, God's divine purposes will not be realized on earth. The establishment and advancement of the kingdom of God in the world is contingent upon the active involvement and unwavering faith of all believers. God requires individuals who can access His power through their faith and prayer, ultimately manifesting His glory on earth

A person is justified before God by works, not solely by praying. Prayer must be accompanied by wholehearted obedience to God's instructions. A fruitful prayer life will motivate us to take action towards realizing what we are believing God for. Faith in God does not make us passive and reliant solely on His intervention; rather, it compels us to take deliberate action, allowing God to bless our efforts.

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...
