Phil 2:13: "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

We must work with God through faith and obedience to see the fulfilment of the good work He is doing in our hearts, which He also intends to fulfil in the lives of others. It is by faith and acting responsively that God will strengthen us and help us to fulfil His purpose for our lives. Without an exercise of faith in what we believe God to do for us, nothing that God has purposed for us will come into the physical manifestation. Faith involves acting on your belief that God will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

Many people who claim to believe in Christ and are living according to their human nature are missing out on experiencing the glory of God in their lives. This happens because they only keep Christ in their hearts without allowing Him to take the lead in their lives and be reflected in their behaviour. Some will compromise their faith on the altar of sin, and they will return to the church to share the testimony of things that God didn't do for them. It is pointless to have Christ in your life if you keep Him confined to your heart and do not allow Him to shine through you and be revealed in your life. Your life wouldn't be different from those that haven't received Christ as their Lord and Saviour. 

Having Christ in you and going about to seek help from the ungodly is like a man who is sitting on a goldmine and yet going about seeking help. The Christ in you is the hope of the glorious life that God has purposed for you. If we sit down with Christ to know Him through His words, we will be amazed by the instructions and counsel we will receive from Him for our help, breakthroughs, and transformation. We must make space in our hearts for Christ and seek fellowship with Him. Through regular communion with Him and obedience to His instructions, His importance in our lives will increase, and His glory will be made manifest in our lives.

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...
