Have you not heard that prayer is an acknowledgement that God makes the impossible possible? Yes, when you pray is about keeping that passage free of fear and failure, acknowledging that it could happen in a supernatural way. With prayer, you realise that even though what you are praying for may seem totally out of place, I mean, you are praying for an impossible. Yes, to you, they may seem impossible; with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). When…
*1.* “Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” *2* “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” *3* “And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”…
Yes, religion is man doing something of himself to bind himself back to God. With religion, it is a matter of doing it yourself, in yourself, by yourself to see God; this is why religion can never save. Only Jesus can save! The Cross in the Old Testament pointed to look on the serpent on the pole and live. Yes, it is the same as trusting Christ’s death on the Cross. “And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a…
The picture Jesus left with the world, the cross, the most widely recognised picture in the Christian religion, is evidence that God often thinks about our affliction and torment. He passed on from it. The cross, the most common image in the Christian religion, proves that God cares about our suffering and pain. He died of it. Today the picture is coated with gold and worn around the necks of all who believe, a symbol of how far we can…
*1.* “And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” *2* “If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know…
Friend, we need to understand why God wouldn’t just do everything on His initiative. Historical evidence shows that it goes back to God giving the responsibility for governing earth’s affairs to humankind (Genesis 1:26-28). Have you not heard that God ordained that everything on earth shall be on the order of human choice? That’s, by human will, humankind receive God’s ordination to determine everything on earth. Here it is: “The heavens belong to the LORD, but he has given the…
Prayer is serving God His way. It’s not just about getting our needs met, although that’s an essential part of prayer. God plans to rule the earth through His delegated authority. That’s us; we who believe in Him. God wants us to bring His Kingdom to bear upon the issues of the earth. God has things for us to do, and they start with prayer. Keep praying, my friend! That’s it!!!
*1.* “But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” *2* “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.” *3* “And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha…
Have you not heard that prudence is tact, discretion for an ultimate turnaround? Yes, prudence gives credence to diplomacy as a nurturing wellspring to the individuals who have it, but discipline is squandered on fools. From an insightful brain comes wise speech; the expressions of the slick are influential. Kind words are like honey-sweet to the spirit and intelligent for the body. There is a way before every individual that appears correct, but it closes in death. Yes, prudence is…
Someone once said, and I quote: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” Turnaround is all about consistent refreshing! God is in the business of improving and turning people’s lives around for the fortunate going forward by giving them a second chance and a fresh start. It is possible to say that in life, pain and problems come to everyone at one stage in their lives. As…
