Live a life of faith

The kind of food one eats determines the growth one experiences. The same is true for the physical as well as the spiritual. If you eat a well-balanced diet, you will grow properly but if not, then growth is stunted. Living a life of faith stems first from the kind of spiritual instructions or food one gets. 

Who is cooking your food? Who prepares what you eat? There are chefs and there are chefs. And every one a master at their game but no one compares to the greatest teacher of them all - the Holy Ghost. Jesus says when he is come he will teach you all things. 

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John.14.26) 

The problem is some are hung on what this leader says and what that leader said but what is the Holy Ghost saying? 

"Don't let people waste time in endless speculation over myths and spiritual pedigrees. For these things only cause arguments; they don't help people live a life of faith in God." (1Tim.1.4) 

From this verse, we can tell that we do ourselves a great disservice if we do not get what helps us live a life of faith in God. Learn to hear God for yourself. The Holy Spirit is always present to teach but how often are we willing to learn from Him? We argue over endless speculations, myths with no facts and figures, and how good or better one person is over the other when we should be helping people live a life of faith in God. You can experience more of God by learning to live a life of faith in God but to live a life of faith in God you need a closer walk with the person of the Holy Spirit. He is always present to teach, guide, help, etc but you have to reach out to Him, whisper to Him, talk with Him, fellowship with Him in the place of worship, prayer, and study of the word and He shall guide you into all truth that will help you live a life of faith in God. 

Good day, 
Have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
