Faith works

Faith is the response of the human spirit to the word of God. Faith makes everything in life possible; it does not fail. If faith did not work that means it is not faith. Hebrew 11:1 “now faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen” KJV. Faith is the evidence of the unseen realities.
  Romans 4:17-20 “…before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief. But was strong in faith, giving glory to God” KJV.
 
  From the above reference, two statements are very remarkable and the first one is God who calls those things which are not as though they were, the second is Abraham did not consider his situations in life as the condition of his becoming the father of many nations. So God does not wait to see things before he calls them into being, In other words, His calling make things to exist. God called Abraham the father of many nations when he had no child and everything around him had no proof that he would be the father of many nations except the word of God. The bible says he believed on the God who quickens the dead and calls things that be not as though they were, Praise God! That means he knew the God who can quicken his body and the dead womb of Sarah also who can call a child into existence.
 Abraham aligned himself so that the word of God will come to pass in his life through faith in the word. Some people would have said “yes, it is by faith, I don’t have it now”, “I am yet to receive the miracle” but Abraham starting living like the father of many nations even before he saw the child, he was answering ‘father of many nations’ even without a child, what a faith!  
 You can arrange your life to receive from God today even as you are reading this article right now. Do you believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ? What do you want from God? The book of Mark 11: 24 says, “… what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” KJV You receive anytime you pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ if you are a Christian but if you are not a Christian don’t run away Jesus loves you and you can find help here.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
