UNWAVERING FAITH!

UNWAVERING FAITH

“Without becoming weak in faith he [Abraham] contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God.”
— Romans 4:19–20 

In Genesis 18, the Lord appeared to Abraham and said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” As you may know, there was just one problem: Abraham and Sarah were well past the age of childbearing. In the natural, there was no hope of them conceiving a child. But Abraham believed in something bigger and more reliable than his circumstance. And he was rewarded for his faith with the birth of his son Isaac.

Sometimes what God has told us seems impossible, but faith will always believe God. We are to walk by faith and not by sight, and we do this by clinging to God’s Word. We agree with what we sense the Holy Spirit is speaking to our hearts, and we trust that what we are believing for will come to pass, even if we can’t see how.

Beloved one, if you are praying for something that is according to God’s Word, don’t lose heart. Think about Abraham. Although his faith was tested, he never wavered. Don’t allow the visible world to weaken your faith. Stay steadfast, and your day will come!

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...
