African Bishop seeks
your help and support for the poor Christians in the Ivory
Coast.
“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do
the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not
ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold,
I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for
they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth
wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that
soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is
that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to
reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and
ye are entered into their labours.”
JOHN
4:34-38
(King James Version)
Dearly beloved brethren
in the Lord Jesus,
I send you greetings
from Abidjan, in the Ivory Coast, West-Africa,
I am Bishop Osagiede
Godwin, the Minister in charge of “The Prophetic Church of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth Cote d’Ivoire International."
Your name and address
came to us as a miracle and we in West Africa really wanted to
work with you to evangelize the nations of Africa. For this
reason we wanted to get affiliated with your ministry and also
solicit your support in any way you can. We will need your
support in of Bibles and evangelical materials. For there are
many thousands of people who have given their lives to the Lord
Jesus as their Lord and personal Savior, but are so poor in the
villages that they cannot afford to pay for a new Bible.
They will appreciate second hand or fairly used clothes shoes
and Bibles and Christian books and other spiritual materials;
these villagers will highly appreciate them. Please help us in
any way you can to make the “Great Commission” of our Lord Jesus
Christ a reality in every nation of Africa. Bibles and books in
the French and English languages. And other microphones,
amplifiers, piano, video and audio materials that can help us
reach the lost for Jesus Christ. Maybe you will want to know
more about us, our website is:
www.ourchurch.com/member/o/osaretinchurch/
If you ask us, we could
also send you our government authorized documents, authorizing
us to freely preach the gospel in all the 15 countries of ECOWAS
States.
We have already planted
over 68 churches in the remote and interior villages of the
Ivory Coast, with Pastors living together with these villagers
in the remote villages. We want to get affiliated with you in
our village church planting ministry, here in the Ivory Coast.
May the Almighty God help us to be able to spread the Gospel in
every nation of the world.
We are looking for ways
to come to the full support of the abandoned HIV positive in the
villages who are without homes and without food. Medicines like
vitamins and antibiotics and other medical supplies to help
these villagers. We also support some of the people that had
been recently released from the prisons.
We also have a lot of
abandoned children of war here in the Ivory Coast that we want
to give food, clothes and shelter. And encourage them to go back
to school, by helping them with school uniforms shoes, bags and
books. We will really need your services here in the West
Africa.
Yours in the Missionary
and Humanitarian Services in the West Africa.

When we walk
by faith, it is no longer all about us, it’s now all
about Him.
“Now faith
is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.
For by it
the elders obtained a good report.”
HEBREWS
11:1-2 (KJ)
Faith,
part 1a.
Faith is the foundation of our relationship with the Lord. We
are saved by God’s grace through the finished work on the Cross
at Calvary and by faith. “For by grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
Ephesians 2:8. This grace brought us into the household of
faith.
Therefore, we start to
grow in faith as we continue to walk with God by following His
word, being guided by His Holy Spirit. Our thinking and
reasoning begin to line up with God’s word as the Kingdom
principles begin to dictate our actions and reactions. These
form our general Kingdom life pattern. It gradually takes us
away from our hitherto worldly behavioral pattern through the
renewing of our minds to follow God’s Word and walk in His way.
“Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in
the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called
the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time
ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of
Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no
hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye
who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of
Christ.”Ephesians 2:11-13 (NIV), Ephesians
4:17-24 (NIV).
As we yield ourselves to
the Word and the Spirit of God, our faith in Him makes us to be
subject to His authority. Instead of walking by the dictates of
the flesh, we begin to walk by faith. “But without faith it
is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.”Hebrews 11:6. It is no longer
all about us, it’s now all about Him. No longer worldly system
pushing us to react or do things rather, it is Kingdom
principles we follow in conducting our affairs irrespective of
circumstance. We are no longer moved by what they are saying
about the economy of the world. Instead, we are now more
concerned about the promise of God clearly spelt out for our
lives in the scripture. Hence, we are not moved by what they say
but, we react based upon what He says.
Unlike the Gentiles whose lives are driven by feeding, shelter,
clothes and other worldly passions. We are now much more focused
on the King, His Kingdom and His righteousness.
“(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and
all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:32–33.
Paul said, “If any man be in Christ (In
faith), he is a new Creature, old things have passed away,
behold all things are become new.”
By the new nature in Christ, carnality is jettisoned;
spirituality is the order of the day for our lives. The Bible
says,
“Those who are led by The Spirit are the Sons of God”
v.14;
“For
if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the
Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Romans 8:13-14
(KJ).
The Blood of Jesus be upon you and your ministries and all of
those involved and wrap you in His Blood to keep you from evil
and to keep evil from you and your families, your ministries and
from the Purposes and Goals of Father God and His Beloved Jesus
Christ now and always now in the name of Jesus Christ: Emmanuel,
Hosanna. Selah and Amen.
The
twelve (12) strategies and the devices of the enemy’s warfare

“Lest
Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of

Corinthians 2:11
(KJ)
“And
Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was
led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted
of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when
they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto
him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be
made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying,
It is written, That man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil,
taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said
unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of
them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I
give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get
thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. And he
brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the
temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give his
angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against
a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him,
It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he
departed from him for a season.”
Luke
4:1-13
(KJ)
“Be
sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom
resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

Peter 5:8-9
(KJ)
Ephesians
6:11; 2 Corinthians 2:11; Luke 4:1-13; 1 Peter 5:8-9.
(1) The
enemies are disturbed, when someone want to help you to promote
the welfare of the work God.
“When
Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite,
heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a
man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.” Nehemiah
2:10.
(2) The
enemies will mock and ridicule you, when they hear that you want
to begin a new work for God.
“But when
Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite,
and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and
despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye
rebel against the king?” Nehemiah 2:19.
(3) When
the enemies hears that you have started a new work for God, they
will become angry.
“But it
came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the
wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the
Jews. And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria,
and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify
themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day?
will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish
which are burned? Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he
said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even
break down their stone wall.” Nehemiah 4:1-3
(4) In their
anger, the enemies will plot together to come and fight against
you.
“And
conspired all of them together to come and to fight against
Jerusalem, and to hinder it. Nevertheless we made our prayer
unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night,
because of them. And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of
burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are
not able to build the wall.” Nehemiah 4:8-10.
The Blood of Jesus be upon you and your ministries and all of
those involved and wrap you in His Blood to keep you from evil
and to keep evil from you and your families, your ministries and
from the Purposes and Goals of Father God and His Beloved Jesus
Christ now and always now in the name of Jesus Christ: Emmanuel,
Hosanna. Selah and Amen.
But we love and faith
full with our faithful Lord Jesus Christ
and he always help us
in our difficult times according to the promised.
“The Lord
Jesus Christ said,"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim
freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed."”
LUKE 4:18
CHRISTIAN
LIFE COMMUNITY IN PAKISTAN -1.
Dear sweet readers, now Christians are just humbly living a
fearful life in Pakistan, fear of Muslims, any time they can
attack on Christian. And fear full life because there is nobody
for our support in Pakistan or from the west and America.
Pakistan is an Islamic country where the Christians form 2.1 %
approximately of the total 160 millions of population. Being
under the heavy flood of religious fundamentalism, the
constitutional and social prejudice is practiced against
Christians.
According to the law,
Christians cannot become president, prime minister, chief of
army staff and chief justice of the county. The blasphemy law,
most of the causes have been founded false and based on personal
rifts
Christian living style:
Christian living in colonies, and have not much interaction
with Muslims, for this living style, there is few reasons
Muslim dislike friendship and any other type of relations or
marriages, because they think that Christian are the unclean
nation, because of their faith. They call to Christians “kafar”
(kafar means, those are not Muslim or satanic, like demons.)
Sometimes, some Muslims want to have good relations with
Christians but they do not, because if they make relations with
Christian they call those Muslims “kafar” too, because they
build relations with Christians or with sinners. In fact hatred
among the common people of the Muslim create serious problems in
the social lives of the Christians and in creation if Christian
adopt very polite and bearable attitude for Muslim, even they
would not like Christian. For Christian they have not any
flexibility, because their religion is teaching them that
Christian and Jewish cannot make the friends of Muslim, so
according their faith they are bond and with this faith, they
dislike and consider that Christian are their enemy.
They think that
Christian are unclean nation, since they don’t like to
friendship with Christians, make marriage with Christian, eat in
one pot, drink in same glass, using the same clothes or shake
hands. They dislike even touching to Christians. They always
repeat this that Muslims are brothers and brothers, so when ever
two people Christian and Muslim will dispute, they gather
against Christians, even until two individuals fight on personal
issues,. Other Muslims will not see how it is right or wrong,
but they always give support to Muslim person. And gather
against Christian and even they always take action at the spot.
This all they are doing to please their God (Allah).
Because of these facts,
the interaction of the Christians with the Muslim community have
not grown and has limited interaction, if anything, they make
Christians dependent of the Muslims. The Christians are resource
less and poor and they have to depend on the Muslims for their
economic and social survival. They have to depend on the Muslims
for survival. This kind of interaction cannot ensure equal
status for the Christians.

Walk by
faith, then it is no longer all about us, it’s all about
Him.
“Now faith
is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.
For by it
the elders obtained a good report.”
HEBREWS
11:1-2 (KJ)
Faith,
part 1b.
Please read part 1a before beginning, Saturday 4 July, 2009.
Faith is the foundation of our relationship with the Lord. We
are saved by God’s grace through the finished work on the Cross
at Calvary and by faith. “For by grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
Ephesians 2:8. This grace brought us into the household of
faith.
(continued from part 1a)
The language of faith is
possibility through God. It emphasizes belief in God to make
things happen. It’s not what doctors say (thank God for them),
but it is what God says because He has the final word. No case
is closed until God has spoken. The good news is that God
masters in proving experts wrong. Therefore, now that you are in
faith, God can bypass what the economic experts say to lift you
up beyond even your own imagination.
Gideon said his family
was poor in Manasseh and he was the least in his family. In
other words, even the poor were calling Gideon poor. But the
Lord said, “Go in this your might” (which means,
Commander that can not be defeated by any army) “for I will
be with you.” Since God has spoken, the dreaded army of the
Midianites could not withstand the army of Israel under Gideon’s
Command! How many were they? Out of his own chosen 32,000
soldiers, God used only 300 of them. Did they even fight? They
only went to gather the spoil. Thereafter, even the rich were
calling Gideon blessed. Our God masters in lifting men from
dunghill and set them among princes. Psalm 113:7-8: “He
raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the
needy out of the dunghill; that he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people.” (KJ)
Mephibosheth was living
in LoDebar (unpastured land or desolate land). But his name
means ‘destroying shame’. He was crippled that remained alive in
the family of Saul. But God lifted him up by restoring all of
Saul’s estate back to him and David made him to also eat with
him on the same table. David himself was a shepherd boy whom the
Lord supernaturally lifted to become King over entire Israel.
Isaac was going to run away to Egypt like his father Abraham
because of famine. But the Lord said he should stay back in
Gerar and He would bless Isaac there. In the same year and in
the same famine stricken land, Isaac reaped hundred folds of
harvest. That is what God can do to those who walk with Him by
faith. These are just a few examples of what faith in God can do
in our lives. The Bible says “For by it (faith) the
Elders obtained a good report”.Hebrews 11:2 (KJV).
“This is what the ancient were commended for.” (NIV)
Apart from living by
Kingdom principles, we need to move by what the King says. By
hearing God speak and following His word in obedience, the
people of old obtained good report from the Lord. Hebrew chapter
eleven is the hall of faith where everyone mentioned apparently
walked by faith with God. God told our father of faith, Abraham
to leave Ur of the Chaldeans, his native land for a land He
would show him. After hearing the word, Abraham went by faith
and God blessed him in the land of Canaan for his obedience to
God’s word. Genesis 12:1-3, Genesis 22:15-18, Genesis 24:1-2.
“Faith
comes by hearing the word of God”. Romans 10:17. The
Logos (written word) help Believers to train in following
Kingdom principles and develop Kingdom Character. The Rhema
(spoken word) is specifically spoken to individual or a group of
Believers for a specific purpose. Therefore, we should press on
more to hear the Lord. This enhances our faith the more. It is
what God says, that He will back up. Man shall not live by bread
(logos) alone but by every spoken word from the mouth of the
Lord (Rhema) Read Isaiah 55:11: “So shall my word be that
goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
The more we hear God
speak concerning our situation in life, the more we have peace
in God coupled with assurance. If only you can develop an habit
of hearing from the Lord specifically by seeking His face before
taking major decisions (especially that which affect your
destiny) the better for you and the less the stress. It is
expensive to go in opposite direction of God’s will for your
life. As we obey His words, whether Logos or Rhema, our lives in
Christ will continue to count for the Lord.
“… He has
called us out of darkness into His marvelous light:” 1 Peter
2:9.
The Blood of Jesus be upon you and your ministries and all of
those involved and wrap you in His Blood to keep you from evil
and to keep evil from you and your families, your ministries and
from the Purposes and Goals of Father God and His Beloved Jesus

Hosanna. Selah and Amen.

Corinthians 2:11

“And
Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was
led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted
of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when
they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto
him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be
made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying,
It is written, That man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil,
taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said
unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of

give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get
thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. And he
brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the

(Continued
from 10 July 2009)
(5) By
prayers, God will make us to beaware of the plots of
our enemies and frustrate all
their evil plans against us.
“And it
came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us,
and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned
all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.”
Nehemiah. 4:15.
(6) The
enemies will try to device a new plan of
fake friendship with you
when the sees that you have succeeded in doing what God called
you to do despite their oppositions against us.
“Now it
came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem, the
Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded
the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at
that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;) That
Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet
together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But
they thought to do me mischief. And I sent messengers unto them,
saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why
should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?”Nehemiah. 6:1-3
(7) The
enemies sent four messages of
deception to Nehemiah, with the intention to stop him
from building the broken walls in the city of God, and he
replied that he was doing a great work for God, that he can not
come down to answer them.
“Yet
they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered
them after the same manner.” Nehemiah 6:4.
(8) When
the enemies saw that their plans weren’t working out as planed,
they accused Nehemiah of
wanting to become a king. In the same way the enemies might
accuse us of something we know nothing about, just to stop us
from doing what God called us to do.
“Then
sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time
with an open letter in his hand; Wherein was written, It is
reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and
the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall,
that thou mayest be their king, according to these words. And
thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at
Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be
reported to the king according to these words. Come now
therefore, and let us take counsel together.” Nehemiah. 6:5-7.
(9) The
enemies even went as far as trying to
frighten Nehemiah with
the aid of some false prophets, but with the gift if discerning
of spirit, Nehemiah knew immediately that these false prophets
and their false visions and prophecies were not from God.
“For
they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened
from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God,
strengthen my hands. Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah
the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and
he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the
temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will
come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay
thee. And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there,
that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life?
I will not go in. And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent
him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah
and Sanballat had hired him. Therefore was he hired, that I
should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have
matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me. My God,
think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their
works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the
prophets, that would have put me in fear.Nehemiah 6:9-14.
The Blood of Jesus be upon you and your ministries and all of
those involved and wrap you in His Blood to keep you from evil
and to keep evil from you and your families, your ministries and
from the Purposes and Goals of Father God and His Beloved Jesus
Christ now and always now in the name of Jesus Christ: Emmanuel,
Hosanna. Selah and Amen.
Even the
church based organizations handled by Muslims in
Pakistan are working for Muslims. Like example: Catholic
Relief Services, Church World Services. Action Aid,
USAID and many others. There is nobody in Pakistan for
the help for Christians.
“The Lord
Jesus Christ said,"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me

CHRISTIAN LIFE COMMUNITY IN PAKISTAN - 2.
Dear sweet readers, now Christians are just humbly living a
fearful life in Pakistan, fear of Muslims, any time they can
attack on Christian. And fear full life because there is nobody
for our support in Pakistan or from the west and America.
Pakistan is an Islamic country where the Christians form 2.1 %
approximately of the total 160 millions of population. Being
under the heavy flood of religious fundamentalism, the
constitutional and social prejudice is practiced against
Christians.
(continued)
Christian Position
In this background the
Christians, due to their faiths, become the most vulnerable
community in the country. Most of the Christians people living
in the cities do the sanitary work, socially degradable
profession, and they have to cling to it for centuries as there
is no prospect’s for them to grow. The Christian people in the
villages work on the lands of the Muslims people and are
considered 'out class' in the social life.
Christian Student
In the public schools,
Islamic studies (subject) compulsory and no more Christian
students there and have not chance to get the teaching of
Christianity. That’s why especially the illiterate Christian
could not get the dedicated religious education, so as result
they always failed to give proper presentation in the front of
others being witness of Lord God Jesus Christ. In Pakistan have
always many Christian schools, like Saint Peter schools, Jesus
and Mary Covenant schools. And some other, they have out
standing reputation. In these high quality schools, there few
Christians are getting education since these schools are very
costly and Christians are very poor and most of Muslims are
getting education there.
Government Attitude
The government delivers
political statements from time to time in the favor of the
non-Muslims minorities when some dignitary or delegation is to
visit Pakistan or when the Prime Minister is on tour to any
country of the Western World or America. These statements are
only spoken words in the air, just like lip service, never has
any notification been issued for the socio-economic and
educational development. There is a rigid and permanent policy
to erode the rights of minorities and curb them by different
methods.
Here I would like to
share with you about the ex-president of Pakistan General Zia ul
Haq (Chief of Army Pakistan). He passed a law, according to this
law he gave the permission to Christians to make the permit and
drink freely alcohol, since that alcohol is very popular among
Christian people and even young child use that much. And in this
way our nation going downhill. And same time He disallow the
drink of alcohol for Muslim. So this is an example, when
government with the use of the Constitution of Pakistan against
the Christian and want that Christian will not ever get
development in Pakistan. They look that they consider us as
enemy of the country.
Blasphemy Laws:
The religious
fundamentalists grown up to the grass roots level. The Islamic
fundamentalists in the country have their strong roots in the
villages and small towns all over the country and the youth who
went for the training for Jihad is brainwashed injecting
specific teaching against Christians. There in always a naked
and sharpened Islamic Sword hanging on the necks of innocent
Christians in Pakistan in the shape of the Law (Blasphemy
Laws 295.B and 295.C of Pakistan Penal Code). If any person
disgraces or insults the Quran, then he has to be punished by
imprisonment for life (295.B) and likewise if any person writes,
speaks, illustrates or does any action in a disgracing or
insulting manner, then he or she shall have to face capital
punishment, there is no fine or life imprisonment.
There are also many
other blasphemy laws through which there are severe punishments
but these (295 B 295.C) are open license in the hands of Muslim
Fundamentalists to kill Christians and other non-Muslims. Muslim
hard-liners religious scholars often deliver verdicts and print
the posters on the walls stating to kill a certain person
because he/she is blasphemous to Mohammed, the Holy Prophet of
Muslims. It is also stated that whosoever kills a blasphemer of
their prophet shall go into Heaven freely. They promise the
killers their entry to heaven. This law has been widely
misused by the Muslim hard-liners to implicate many Christians
in Pakistan.
International NGO and Charities
International community,
organizations, and charities always support the poor people in
Pakistan through Muslim organizations and charities in Pakistan
and these organizations always uses these funds for the welfare
of the Muslims and they don’t give any help to Christians. Just
see Christian people and churches give donations and these
donations have not been allowed in Pakistan to be used for
Christians. Many times I see personally that international
church donors even refuse Christian organizations and give funds
for the development of Muslim.
Even the church based
organizations handled by Muslims in Pakistan are working for
Muslims. Like example: Catholic Relief Services, Church World
Services. Action Aid, USAID and many others. There is nobody in
Pakistan for the help for Christians.
There is no body at International level for the help of
Christians, but always persecution and hard life for Christians
in Pakistan.
Immigration opportunities:
At the international
level in the west and America, when ever they need manpower,
they always give visas to Muslims. This is an example of how
many immigrants are Muslim and Christians from Pakistan: the
answer is Muslim in millions and Christian in hundreds. So this
is clear that west and American don’t care about the Pakistan
Christians. In fact it shows that they have no Christian concern
for us. But see the results, Muslim come in west and America,
they earn there, make increase their population and now trying
to destroy that country and want their government and this is
the look of punishment to these Christian countries. But
Christians are always peaceful and faithful for every one and
for other Christian nations.
The Blood of Jesus be upon you and your ministries and all of
those involved and wrap you in His Blood to keep you from evil
and to keep evil from you and your families, your ministries and
from the Purposes and Goals of Father God and His Beloved Jesus
Christ now and always now in the name of Jesus Christ: Emmanuel,
Hosanna. Selah and Amen.
Faith on the
other hand makes the Believers have access to the Throne
of Grace and God’s presence through accepting the
one-time atonement by the death of Jesus on the cross at
Calvary which makes this atonement permanent.
“1. For
the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and
not the very image of the things, can never with these same
sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make
those who approach perfect. 2. For then would they not have
ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purged, would
have had no more consciousness of sins. 3. But in those
sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4. For
it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take
away sins. 5. Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You
have prepared for Me. 6. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for
sin You had no pleasure. 7. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—in
the volume of the book it is written of Me—to do Your will, O
God.’”
8.
Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings,
and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in
them” (which are offered according to the law), 9. then He
said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes
away the first that He may establish the second. 10. By that
will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of
Jesus Christ once for all. 11. And every priest stands
ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices,
which can never take away sins. 12. But this Man, after He had
offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right
hand of God, 13. from that time waiting till His enemies are
made His footstool. 14. For by one offering He has perfected
forever those who are being sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also
witnesses to us: for after He had said before, 15. And the Holy
Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, 16.
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those
days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and
in their minds I will write them,” 17. then He adds,
“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
18. Now where there is remission of these, there is no
longer an offering for sin.”
HEBREWS
10:1-18 (NKJ)
Faith,
Part 2a. THE LAW
VERSUS FAITH.Components of Faith. Text: Hebrews Chapter 10 & 11.
Reading the book of Hebrews Chapters ten & eleven, you’ll see
how Paul clearly shows the difference between the Law and Faith.
Though they are both aiming at pleasing God, yet the law
emphasizes legalism and continuous atonement by blood of animals
which is temporary. Faith on the other hand makes the
Believers have access to the Throne of Grace and God’s presence
through accepting the one-time atonement by the death of
Jesus on the cross at Calvary which makes this atonement
permanent. Now faith brings us into the “finish-work” that gives
redemption to those who believe in Jesus Christ.
These are no more under
the law but are now in faith. (Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews
10:16-18). “But this shall be the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD,
I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their
hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
Jeremiah 31:33 (KJ)
As believers, the Holy
Spirit prompts our hearts with God’s Word to direct our hearts
in the path of faith and to enable us to live righteous lives
that obey the Word of God. The Holy Spirit also empowers your
heart to obey His prompting. Paul said it is the Lord that works
in us both to will and to do of His pleasure. (Philippians
2:13, Ephesians 2:10)
“For it is
God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good
pleasure.” Philippians 2:13
(KJ) “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 (KJ)
All we have to do is to
yield our lives to the Lord(v. 12). And, He will
help us to work out our Salvation with fear and trembling.
Again, the flesh cannot
do this; it is the Comforter in the life of the Believer that
enables him to yield to the Lord. 1 John 2:27—“But the
anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and
you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing
teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a
lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.”
(NKJ)
The Bible says, by the
law, no man can be justified or please God. “You have become
estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified
by law; you have fallen from grace.” Galatians 5:4 (NKJ);
Romans 3:24—“being justified freely by His grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” & Romans 3:28—“Therefore we
conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds
of the law.” (NKJ). But by faith in Christ only can we
please the Father. Hebrews 11:6. Only by faith in Christ
can we be justified. He has risen for our justification.
Romans 4:25—“who was delivered up because of our offenses, and
was raised because of our justification.”
“For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that
it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the
flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in
us, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit”.Romans 8:2-4 Therefore, the language of faith is by the
Word and the Spirit’s prompting.
(CONTINUED)
The Blood of Jesus be upon you and your ministries and all of
those involved and wrap you in His Blood to keep you from evil
and to keep evil from you and your families, your ministries and
from the Purposes and Goals of Father God and His Beloved Jesus

and continuous
atonement by blood of animals which is temporary.
“For the
law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not
the very image of the things, can never with these same
sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make
those who approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased

HEBREWS
10:1-3 (NKJ)
Faith,
Part 2b. THE LAW
VERSUS FAITH.Components of Faith. Text: Hebrews Chapter 10 & 11.
Please read Faith Part One first; July 4th. Reading the book of Hebrews
Chapters ten & eleven, you’ll see how Paul clearly shows the
difference between the Law and Faith. Though they are both
aiming at pleasing God, yet the law emphasizes legalism and
continuous atonement by blood of animals which is temporary.
Faith on the other hand makes the Believers have access to
the Throne of Grace and God’s presence through accepting the
one-time atonement by the death of Jesus on the cross at
Calvary which makes this atonement permanent. Now faith brings
us into the “finish-work” that gives redemption to those who
believe in Jesus Christ.
(CONTINUED)
“For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that
it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the
flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in
us, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit”.Romans 8:2-4
Therefore, the language
of faith is by the Word and the Spirit’s prompting.
(1) Faith is when we are
being led by the Spirit not by our own flesh.
(2) Secondly, as we can
see in part one of these teachings; our faith is enhanced by
ability to hear from God. Romans 10:17.
(3) Contend for the
faith: Hebrews 10:19-23.
The third component of
faith is to contend for the faith. Once you hear God’s Word, the
enemy must launch attack to steal it or prevent you from either
believing it, or block you from holding onto the Word. Your
faith in the Word of God is what can help you to overcome his
devices. The Word of God in you becomes the Sword of the Spirit
through which you can dislodge the forces of hell in order to
still stand on God’s promises for your life until it manifests.
Immediately the Father
pronounced Jesus His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased, the
enemy started to attack Him throughout His forty days of
fasting. (Luke 4:12) “And Jesus answering said unto him, It
is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”Luke
4:12 (KJ)The devil, after failing for forty days
then came with three major tests when he realized that Jesus was
hungry. v.3-12. “And the devil said unto him, If thou
be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And
Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil,
taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said
unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of
them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I
give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan:
for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him
only shalt thou serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set
him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be
the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: For it is written,
He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in
their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash
thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It
is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” Luke 4:3-12
(KJ)
After he had failed
woefully with Jesus, the devil departed for a season v.13.
(KJV) Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit
(Not flesh) v.14-15. Thereafter, His ministry blossomed.
After the first Adam received command not to eat of the tree of
the Knowledge of good and evil, the enemy came to tempt him and
his wife Eve. Despite all the battles faced by Joseph after
sharing his dreams, his focus on the Lord and his dream kept him
until his dream became a reality. And all those whom the enemy
used to persecute him bowed to him and his dream. Psalm
105:17-22, Genesis 49:18.
“ … I felt
I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was
once for all entrusted to the saints” Jude 3
(NIV)
The enemy is not happy
that you are in faith hence, he is contending for your
salvation. And you and I like Paul, need to fight the fight of
faith (2 Timothy 4:7-8) in order to win the crown as we,
through our work of faith, make Heaven. Jude said, many agents
of Satan are creeping into the Church (Believers) to truncate
their faith in Christ so, they can stumble, backslide and fall
out of faith. (Jude 4) But you will never be defeated as
you submit yourself to the Lord and as you resist the enemy, he
must flee. James 4:7.
Paul told Timothy to
guard what has been entrusted to him so that the enemy will not
take it. (1 Timothy 6:20; 1 Timothy 1:14) Paul further
told Timothy to: “Fight the good fight of the faith, Take
hold of eternal life to which you were called when you made your
confession in the presence of many witnesses.”1 Timothy
6:12 (NIV) Read also 1 Timothy 1:18-19.
(4) The Promise.
Hebrews 11:4-40.“…These were all commended for their
faith” v. 40 (NIV). The promise comes after we overcome the
wiles of the enemy and still stand. Ephesians 6:10-13.
The Lord said, “To him that overcome …….”Revelation
2:7, 11, 17.
When the Word comes, it
takes us into the process which includes tests to prepare us for
the promise. God will never give us something He has not
prepared us for because it can do havoc in our lives. He
prepares us for what He has prepared for us. Until you are ready
to handle a particular thing, you may bungle it should you be
given. Jesus told his disciples to tarry until the Promise come.
God told Habakkuk to tarry though the vision tarries. When the
Lord brought them out of Egypt, He worked upon them. In the
wilderness, He worked in them (in their lives) to purge Egypt
out of them. After, He worked through those who made it to the
Promise Land like Caleb and Joshua, etc.
“To him
that overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give
authority over the nations.”Revelation 2:26 (NIV) Read also, Revelation 3:5,12,21.
“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of
life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before
his angels.” Revelation 3:5; “Him that overcometh will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and
I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the
city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of
heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
Revelation 3:12; “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit
with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down
with my Father in his throne.” Revelation 3:21
May the Lord continue to
strengthen us to hold fast to the faith we have received in
Christ. May we continue to enjoy the grace to stand firm to
eternity in Jesus name. Hebrews 10:23-24, Matthew
24:12-13—“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same
shall be saved.”
Like the
elders of old who obtained a good report for their
faith in God, may we run the race to finish strong
by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus
name. Amen.
This is why you do
not call the LORD’s work a BURDEN.
“Woe be unto the pastors
that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the
LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the
pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and
driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will
visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. And I
will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither
I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds;
and they shall be fruitful and increase.”
“And I will set up
shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear
no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith
the LORD. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and
prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In
his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely:
and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
“Therefore, behold, the
days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD
liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land
of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led
the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and
from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall
dwell in their own land. Mine heart within me is broken because
of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man,
and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and
because of the words of his holiness.”
“For the land is full of
adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the
pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course
is evil, and their force is not right. For both prophet and
priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their
wickedness, saith the LORD. Wherefore their way shall be unto
them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on,
and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year
of their visitation, saith the LORD. And I have seen folly in
the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my
people Israel to err.”
“I have seen also in the
prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery,
and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers,
that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them
unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets;
Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the
water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness
gone forth into all the land.”
“Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy
unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own
heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto
them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace;
and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination
of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. For who hath
stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard
his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?”
“Behold, a whirlwind of
the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it
shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. 20The anger
of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till
he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days
ye shall consider
it perfectly. I have not
sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them,
yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and
had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have
turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their
doings.
“Am I a God at hand,
saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in
secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I
fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. I have heard what the
prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have
dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of
the prophets that prophesy lies? yea,
they are prophets of the
deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to
forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his
neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.”
“The prophet that hath a
dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my
word, let him speak my
word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer
that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am
against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every
one from his neighbour.”
“Behold, I am against
the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues,
and say, He saith.
Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the
LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their
lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded
them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith
the LORD. And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest,
shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou
shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you,
saith the LORD.”
“And as for the prophet,
and the priest, and the people,
that shall say, The
burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to
his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the
LORD spoken? And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no
more: for every man's word
shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of
the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God. Thus shalt thou
say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What
hath the LORD spoken? But since ye say, The burden of the LORD;
therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The
burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall
not say, The burden of the LORD; Therefore, behold, I, even
I, will utterly forget you, and
I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your
fathers, and cast you out of my presence:”
“And I will bring an
everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which
shall not be forgotten.”

appears to be more on

“It
is more blessed to give than to receive.”
ACTS 20:35
Faith,
Part 3a.
Asking Faith versus Giving Faith. Text: Acts 20:35
(Please start at Part One; July 4th)
Today, the emphasis of the Church appears to be more on faith
than to ask from God. Usually, Believers just take a promise
from the Bible without real prompting by the Spirit to receive
the Word as Rhema. Some of the time, the Lord gives us what we
ask just to honour His name out of mercy. But we must realize
that faith operates more when we first hear from God. Many have
become so frustrated by asking merely quoting the Logos. When
these things fail to manifest, it simply shows you you are
asking for something the Lord is not ready to give you yet
because, maybe it’s not yet time or you are not ready for it.
Let’s think of it, the
Lord who created heaven and earth with all the parallaxes is
able to give you anything. But you must realize that God
responds to need not want. God, who lives in eternity, also
operates in timing. “I returned, and saw under the sun, that
the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong,
neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of
understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill;
but time and chance happeneth
to them all.” Ecclesiastes 9:11 (KJ) He makes
everything beautiful in it’s time.
However, much as God
wants us to ask and it shall be given, we must also know that
the Father knows our needs. The Bible says, nothing good will He
withhold from those who are upright. “For the LORD God is a
sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory:
no good thing will he withhold
from them that walk uprightly.” Psalm 84:11.
The missing link today
is abiding in Him. Jesus said “if
you abide in me and my word abide in you, you will ask whatever
you wish, and it will be given you.” John 15:7. What
you are asking for, will it glorify God or will you use it to
His glory? “Herein is my Father
glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”v.8 If God gives you what you are asking, will it
enhance your life in Christ and help to advance the Kingdom or
will He make you to backslide and cause God’s Kingdom to suffer
loss? We need to ponder over our motives before asking God for
something. This enables us to check our hearts, to determine if
it’s flesh or faith that prompts us. Faith will never ask for
anything contrary to the Word of God.
Hannah inquired of the
Lord for a son and God gave her and Elkanah, her husband one.
She in turn gave her son, Samuel to God for His service. Samuel
became a renowned prophet in Israel. God made David king over
Israel who never even asked for it. Yet David served His
generation according to the Will of God. Acts 13:36 –
“For David, after he had served his own generation by the will
of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw
corruption:”
On the other hand, there
is faith that gives. This is the kind of faith that challenges
the Lord Himself. Those who engage in knowing God for themselves
focus on giving their service to the Lord.

Amen Holy Father. Lord Emmanuel, we are asking You
right now to make powerless --- satan, mammon,
spiritual wickedness in high places, rulers of
darkness (kings, queens, princes, princesses of
darkness), evil powers, evil principalities, wiles
of the devil, evil thrones, evil dominions, evil
crowns, evil things present, evil things to come,
evil heights, evil depths, evil creatures, evil
magistrates, evil governments, evil leaders, root
workers, evil angels, any evil creatures, and all
their replacements who are in line to replace them
when they are taken out of play and those below them
in preparation to replace them– AND, we command the
release of all the prayers of all the Saints which
they have held captive or destroyed or done anything
but allowed them to go to Heaven, to be sent right
now to the Throne Room of our Heavenly Father after
a review by You, Yeshua, our Beloved Savior. We
thank You Lord Emmanuel. We praise You Lord
Emmanuel. We ask for this Favor ABBA Father. We
thank You for this ABBA Father. We praise You for
this ABBA Father. Amen! Holy Father.
This is the
kind of faith that challenges the Lord Himself.

ACTS 20:35
Faith,
Part 3b.
(Please start at Part One; July
4th) Hannah inquired of the Lord
for a son and God gave her and Elkanah, her husband one.
She in turn gave her son, Samuel to God for His service.
Samuel became a renowned prophet in Israel. God made
David king over Israel who never even asked for it. Yet
David served His generation according to the Will of
God. Acts 13:36 – “For David, after he had
served his own generation by the will of God, fell on
sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw
corruption:”
On the other
hand, there is faith that gives. This is the kind
of faith that challenges the Lord Himself. Those who
engage in knowing God for themselves focus on giving
their service to the Lord.
The Disciples
were following the Lord to know Him, His ways and they
continue to serve Him while the multitude continues to
ask for bread and miracles. Many of them went away with
bread and miracles without knowing Him. His disciples
ended up becoming miracle workers like Him because they
chose to know Him as they follow Him. He showed Moses
who sought Him His ways, but, Israelites who never
sought Him only knew His acts. Psalm 103:7.
Solomon never
asked for anything when he offered one thousand bullocks
sacrifice in burnt offering to the Lord in Gibeon. I
King 3:3-5, I Chronicle 16:29. Yet, that same
night, the Lord told him to ask for anything and He was
ready to give him just for the asking. The Lord ended up
giving Solomon beyond what he had asked.
David paid for
the threshing floor of Araunah or Ornan the Jebusite who
had given it free. David would not offer God anything
that would cost him nothing; especially on the alter for
his God he was about to build. David wanted to offer God
things of value. 2 Sam 24: 21-25, I Chronicles 21:24.
Even when the Lord had asked him not to build the temple
for Him, David ensured that he prepared for the temple
in his distress. I Chronicle 2:14
Our Love for God
is made manifest by our willingness to give our lives,
time, intercession, service, word study and word-based
lifestyle as well as commitment of our finances to
advance His Kingdom here on earth. God is our example.
The Bible says, “For God so love the world that He
gave…..”John 3:16. Romans 8:32. What are the
bad habits in your life you are willing to give away for
the Lord? What are the good things in your life that you
are willing to give for His Kingdom to expand? What
we are willing to forgo and on the other hand, give to
the Lord will enhance our faith and faithfulness in
Christ.
Conclusion, when
you develop faith that totally depends on God, He will
surely give back to you. Much as we expect great things
from the Lord, we must attempt great things for God. The
Centurion whose servant was sick at home was introduced
to Jesus by the Jews as one who had built a synagogue
for them. Immediately, Jesus wanted to go with him to
heal his servant (not even his Son: selfless and
compassionate man). But he told Jesus to merely speak
the word believing that his servant would be healed. And
it was so. The man challenged the Lord by His faith
through his giving heart. Luke 7: 1-10.
The Lord enables
us to go extra mile to please Him by our faith in Christ
Jesus. Amen. Therefore, to be able to effectively
exercise faith that one receives, you should develop
giving faith that challenges God to move in your favour.
As we honour God, He will both honour us as well as
honour Himself in our lives. As we draw near to God by
faith, He too will draw near to us. He will help us to
grow in faith that is grounded in love for God, His
Kingdom and His people. For God to use you, your
faith must seek and serve Him without reservation.
Otherwise, it’s you that is using God if your faith in
Christ is merely asking.
Joshua was
fighting the Lord’s battle to the extent that he
commanded the sun to stand still on Gibeon and the moon
on Aijalon valley for him to finish the Lord’s battle.
By their faith, many men of old subdued kingdoms, tore
lions to pieces, some shut the mouths of lions, quenched
the violence of fire, wrought righteousness, etc and
obtained the promise.
