We Live by Faith and Not by Sight

𝐇𝐦 ... 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬?
𝐎𝐫 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡?

I've seen so many people, even myself, quit on prayers, 'cause of "nothing has changed".
The same God who had left us mighty words of "𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒚 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕."

Faith is a choice. Your faith is what you believe in, the peace that you see in the midst of the raging storm of reality.
Maybe our prayers looks so unanswered because we have chosen not to see and believe the personality of our God.
We hear almost everyday that "His silence means a thousand words", that "His plans are good" and "Our future is Secure", yet do we really believe?

Without Faith, frustration comes in , in the place of prayer. Then weariness, which in turn wounds the soul.
I believe that God answers every prayer i make. it's either, "Okay, done" or "No" or "wait" and I trust this God because He formed me, he made the person that I am, and he knows just what is best for me.

We do not remember this all the time. There'll be time when our faith in God would be shaded by our harsh reality and then it seems unreachable. We forget sometimes that Christ forever holds the future and try to do things our own way...

Here's my humble reminder dearest,

God says;

“𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒆, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆, 𝑰’𝒍𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏. “𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆, 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒍𝒍 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒆. 
Jeremiah 29:12-13a 

Not my words. God said that.

Shalom

Why You Need to Keep Record of Your Salvation Experience.

There are some memories that should never be forgotten, one of which is the story of your salvation. I think our Faith hangs on it somehow. Daily reminding ourselves that once we were lost but now and we are found. Daily reminding ourselves that our human mind never would have reckoned that the freedom which we now enjoy in Christ was possible. Daily reminding ourselves how broken, sad, confused, worried and tired we were before we found Christ who gave us peace in abundantly. Yes, our faith hangs on these memories. Because there would be days when salvation become visibly "no longer relevant", then we have reasons to say, no. I still can't afford to loose it. My old life wasn't better off. But there's one more reason why we should never forget our beginning with God. Worship. How do you worship God the best way when you have chosen to forget your personal experience of Him? And By Worship here, it goes beyond the emotions we feel while singing to Him. Fine, it is...

Is the Sermon On The Mount Meant for Everyone?

Is the Sermon On The Mount Meant for Everyone? The teaching of Jesus from Matt 5 up to Matt 7:28 is called “The Sermon on the Mount” because Jesus preached it on a mountain side. This sermon shows what Jesus meant when He commanded people to repent. It reveals what entering God's kingdom means, both in one's inner experience and outward behavior. It reveals principles which operate in the kingdom, and those things which exclude people from the kingdom. The sermon begins with the word “blessed”. So we can say the sermon sets forth the blessed life – who the blessed are and how they should behave. The blessed are those in the kingdom of heaven (Matt 5:3). This sermon does not give specific instructions as to how to enter God's kingdom but shows what sort of people are in it, and what they should seek to become and do. This sermon, for the most part, is for disciples of the Lord Jesus, not for everyone. However, it seems clear from Matt 7:28 that many other people besides H...

The Story Of Salvation According To Matthew 1

The name “Jesus”, like the Hebrew name Joshua, means “the LORD (Jehovah) saves”. The word “Christ” is from the Greek language and means “anointed one”. Its meaning is the same as “Messiah” taken from the Hebrew. The Messiah was to be anointed by God – that is, set apart and consecrated by God, to fulfill the promises of the Old Testament. He was to be prophet, king, and priest. According to the Old Testament the Messiah had to be a descendant of Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation, and of David, Israel's greatest king. To show that this was true of the Lord Jesus, Matthew gives this genealogy in Matthew 1 which shows how Jesus relates to David and Abraham by Ancestry. Jesus as to His human nature was descended from David who lived a thousand years before Him, and from Abraham who lived nearly two thousand years before Him. The women whose name showed up on this genealogy (Rahab, Bethseba and Ruth) teaches us of God's wonderful grace and mercy towards sinful peop...
