BY FAITH OR BY COMPASSION

-->

So, this morning my husband preached this message to me and it was a word I really needed at this time and I felt I should share it with someone. A lot has been going through my mind recently and I just felt that I needed God’s direction on so many things and these were God’s words to me through my husband. He said to me;


Honey, great battles are won by faith, you cant continue to wallow in self pity, you need to brace up and be courageous and trust God to move on your behalf. Its ok to wallow in pity, but it is faith that moves God to do the unimaginable. God is compassionate, he can decide to have compassion and satisfy your desires, but faith will move him to do much more than you desire.


Remember the man by the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-15), God had compassion on him, there were so many people by that pool waiting to be healed, but God knowing that man had tried for years decided to have compassion and heal him. But do you remember the woman with the issue of blood? (Luke 8: 43- 48) God said your faith has made you whole. Faith wrought great miracles.


Its good for God to have compassion on you and grant you your heart desires, but if you have faith, you please him (God) to do much more, (without faith, no man can please God). So do you want your miracle by faith or by compassion? God is always ready to help either way, but let your faith move him, he is waiting for you, seek him and trust him, he wont fail you.

Still walking…..

OVERSHADOW

The word overshadow means to tower above or to cast a shadow over .  Its Christmas and it is important to take another look at the Christmas story. I have read this story in the bible so many times, but this year something struck me and that is the word "overshadow". Luke 1:26-38 is an account of Mary's encounter with an angel who told her she would conceive and bear a son, whose name shall be called Jesus and he will be great and will be called Son of The Most High. Mary then asked the question how all this events will take place because she was a virgin and the angel explained in  Luke 1: 35: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of The Most High will  overshadow  you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God" Now here is my understanding, when there is a purpose to be birth, when God is set to carry out an assignment through one of his own, to carry out HIS assignment and purpose which supersedes every human com...

HEAVENLY PLACES

I have just finished a bible study with the women's group from my church, we studied the book 'Armor of God ' by Priscilia Shirer. It was an interesting study and i had so many things to learn. An important lesson i learned from the bible study is about heavenly places which i am going to be sharing. I found this particular revelation very liberating for me and i pray it will be liberating for you as well. For me, there is something intimidating when the bible verse  Ephesians 6:12  is quoted  "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Scary right? look at all the forces of darkness in one sentence :) I know the next thing people say is "God is one your side" "God is fighting your battles"... But there is an understanding that you need to have, You need to have an understanding...

Sorrowful to Surrender

It's Easter and i was pondering on Jesus's days before crucifixion and after resurrection, the journey from his time in Gethsemane to Galilee was something, a lot happened in those few days before his death to days after resurrection. What is our response in times of difficulty, grief, pain and suffering?  One important lesson from this study is that God meets us in our difficult seasons.  Let's start with Jesus' experience, Jesus in a state of grief before his death, he knew what was to come and he was overwhelmed with so much sorrow. Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭37‬-‭38 ‬ ‭ “And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “ My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me. ” Imagine the soul being sorrowful even unto death, imagine the state of mind he was in? What was his response? He prayed! Not once, not twice but he went back 3 times praying until he returned fully surr...
