Only by faith, will we be able to please God...

 Hebrews 11:6

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.

The currency of the Kingdom of God is faith. Faith forms the foundation of our relationship with our Father. We have not seen Him with our own eyes, but faith tells us He lives, and He is who He says He is. Which is why the bible makes it clear that we walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). This means everything we do, we do it because we have faith that it will work out based on what God said, His promises on our lives. Therefore, it is impossible to please God without faith. We can't wait to see it first before we believe it. For instance, the gift of salvation (Ephesian 6:8-9) came by us believing without having witnessed Jesus being crucified on the cross and resurrecting in three days. However, we believe the word of God that is in the bible because He is faithful, and He is not man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). 

Should you find it difficult to believe in the unknown, that God may be telling you or leading you to, I pray that the Holy Spirit rest upon you and reveal the truth found in the bible. Without the Holy Spirit, it is difficult to understand the bible, let alone believing what's written in it. We are not meant to do life on our own, but God sent us the Holy Spirit who is meant to be our Teacher, Helper, Comforter and Guide. It is through Him that you would we would hear from the Lord personally, as we read the bible. Pray about it and God will reward you as you seek Him earnestly.

PS: It is by His grace that God has opened my eyes and helped me build the relationship with Him, and feeling His love and mercy on my life. Which has led me to do what others have done for me, bringing me to the feet of Jesus. Thus, I'm inviting you the 1st series of an Online Bible Study, to help grow together in faith. If you are interested, kindly see the attached invitation and respond accordingly. Stay blessed.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
