Hi friends,
Hope
you’re doing well. Today I'd like to share something on Faith. What is the
meaning of FAITH? Faith according to Philip Yancey means "Trusting in Advance what will make sense only in
Reverse." Lets take a look at Hebrews Chapter 11 which is the hallmark of
faith chapter.
Faith
is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.It is the
evidence of things we cannot yet see. God gave his approval to people in days
of old because of Faith.
1)By
Faith Abel's anointing was more acceptable than Cain's- Not that Abel was better or holier but his faith.
2)By
Faith Enoch was taken up to Heaven without dying....it is impossible to please God
without faith.Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that there is
God & that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.- The key is not He rewards perfect people but that He rewards those that genuinely seek Him.
3)By
Faith Noah built an Ark to save his family from the flood.By faith He condemned
the rest of the world and was made right in God's sight. God sees what no man sees in us, He sees our heart.
4)It
was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home & go to
another land that God would give him as His inheritance. he went without
knowing where he was going.- We got to walk on waves , doesn't matter we don't know where , but we know the One who is taking us there.:)
5)It
was by faith that Sarah together with Abraham was able to have a child even
though they were too old & Sarah was barren, Abraham believed that God
would keep his promise. God can always be trusted. He does not change. He never lies. He will complete what he starts. As long as you know He said it, you can be sure, He will do it.
All of
these people mentioned above received God's approval because of their faith,
yet none of them received all that God had promised. for God had far better
things in mind... for we can't receive the prize at the end of the race until
we finish the race."
Faith is
the currency of Heaven!
Friends
you may wonder who am I, without any theological training or credentials or any
references to speak into your spiritual life? They even asked Jesus the Son of
God , the same question. So it’s no surprise that you may doubt / question me. This is not about me , this is about Him. And truly
speaking, we already know we are nothing without Him. But no one could deny the
power & authority of Jesus . A truly
anointed man/ woman of God knows that it is God in them and not them. I am a
carrier of His Glory! and choose to honor His presence more than anything in
this world. Listen below to this video to understand more about being a carrier
of His Glory and why God chooses the foolish things of this world to shame the
so called wise! (1 Corin 1:27):
Our God is a Resurrector of Dead Dreams. Do you know how painful
waiting can be…for your Dream to come true? Year after year after year … My
dream has always been to serve the Lord. Right from my very childhood I knew that’s what I wanted to do. And that
dream kept me going no matter what came against me. I accepted the Lord in the year 1996 at a
college camp and it is the music of REX band that actually captured my heart
& led me to the Lord. Sharing below some of those songs that made me accept
Jesus as my Lord & Savior years
back. Hope it blesses you. You can read my Testimony here.

Yes Church, love makes us do the craziest things for the One we
love! That’s why God Almighty sent His Only Begotten Son to die that painful , shameful
death on the Cross of Calvary! He willingly died that death because He loved
you that much .... Church, let us never allow that Sacrifice to be in vain…

His way!
