What Faith is and isn't(Part 1)

Greetings.

Have you heard many say" the Christian walk is a walk of faith?"
Indeed, they are not wrong; we need to know what faith is and what faith is not.

Hebrews Chapter 11:6 introduces us in real terms to the concept of faith. It says, without faith it is impossible to please God; and that the believer must acknowledge that God IS and He His the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Hebrews Chapter 11:1 says "it is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".

Now, you cannot be in faith and at the same time believe against God. Why?

The basis of the Christian belief system is strengthened by the Foundation being God and His principles. What faith actually does is to put the believer in the same process and system of how God gets things done.
In essence, you cannot believe wrongly when you want Gods will done for your life and you are submissive to Him. Your submission to God is not to make you subservient or without a will nor emotion. What faith actually does in the life of the believer is to help in placing the believer in the right atmosphere and position to work with God.
Faith is the entire process where your being agrees with God to allow His will to be done.
Before I forget, God made us free willing and thinking creatures. In essence it means we have a choice to either agree with Him or disagree without the influence of His might. What faith does is to link up the believer with the power and ability of God. This can only be done if  the believer not in essence let go of His personality to think and make a choice but rather through the power of choice and individuality decide to agree with God that He His willing to assist and to help in times of need irrespective of the situation that is seen within or without based on the truth that God has promised; it is true and it will be done.

Faith is a battle walk in itself. There will always be a thousand reason to do otherwise and ten thousand why you should not trust God.

Are you sick; the symptoms may be visible. Are you poor, your account may still read nil. Are you lonely, no one has dared call you in the last weeks?
These are the facts; the truth is that God cannot lie. Why should He lie! No one is greater, no one can challenge him; and above all He has nothing to lose if He gives you what you asked for or not. He remains God.

The core of faith. 

Faith is not a position or state. It is what you do and continually do. It is a “verb”; a doing.
You cannot be in faith yesterday and not be today; you can only be in faith. Faith itself is present continuous just as God is. God is never in the past. He His now in the past, present and future. God IS. You see why faith is so important to God? With it you remind Him of Him. This is the essence of the entirety of the Christian system as designed by God. God IS.
Faith simply means; God I believe you and that you are telling me the truth and I will hold onto your promises despite what I see going right or wrong in my environment.
Remember " for by grace are we saved through faith, and not of ourselves, lest any man should boast"-Ephesians Chapter 2:8.

Let talk again soon.

God bless you.

The Cost of a New Day

Have you ever thought what it costs to make day?
Think about it.
What is a day made of? How is a day made?
What does it cost the Eternal one to sustain a day.
How does he fold an old day without interfering with the making of a new day seamlessly. 
When we ponder over this you will come to the understanding of an awesome God, Father and Friend we have.
The book of  Job in the Bible and  Chapter 38 gives deep and clear answers to this.
Lets appreciate God; even when things don't go the way we want.
He cares and He His in charge.
Have a nice day.

The Existence of God - the Reason We Worship

Welcome to a new day, and may I say, we thank God for keeping us all.

The existence of God is the very reason man has sought to worship; either  through deities in times past or objects; but in the last days He had made Himself clear and revealed to us through His Son Jesus Christ(John 8:18-29 and John 10:30)

We all seek for knowledge and information of our own very existence.  We say, how can a complex and yet compelling creation seen in its intricate splendor and complexity not point to a more excellent being. This fight to suppress this truth has led to all sorts of religions and atheist groups springing up but all leading no more but to further deprivation of the soul and a situation of lost inner peace and endless restlessness in man.

This simple question alone bogs the mind of the wandering and one who seeks to find a basis and foundation for life and the cause of creation. This is an indication that we were made and that we came out of someone and that we are not just beings of chance nor of a cataclysmic event that happened billions of years ago.

Why do we fear, if there is nothing to be afraid of greater than our abilities or superior to our limitations.

Why do we seek for purpose; if there is nothing to live for in life such that we need not then pursue goals, set them and achieve success.
Why do we seek for help through higher beings and perfect masters if there were not mysteries yet to be learnt and understood.
Why do we struggle with the very existence of God seeking most times to quash it knowing very well that our whole being seek for the unseen one.

Nature itself speaks of God.
Our being speaks of God.
Why then do we cry when we loose a loved one if there is indeed no life after death.

We are afraid that the truth stands very before us.
I close with those Scripture from the Holy Bible : Psalm 19 - How clearly the sky reveals God's glory! How plainly it shows what he has done! (Today's English Version)

Thank you.

Lets talk again.

God bless you.
