Still Keeping the Faith

Yes it has been too long. I don't know the exact reason I stopped blogging but I know I want to start again. Even though I haven't posted anything over the last 5 years I have still been keeping the faith.

I mean there simply is no other option for me, GOD has BLESSED ME so abundantly. He has taken CARE of me through every trial, He as proven his LOVE and MERCY over and over again. I know that no matter what comes way my I will be OKAY because I have the power of JESUS on my side.

I look around me at the people who don't know or believe in the awesome POWER of JESUS CHRIST. My heart cries for them, they will never know what it feels like to be free, to be able to take everything that worries you and hand it over to someone else knowing it will be taken care off.

I pray for them, may GOD open their minds and hearts, May they be BLESSED and encouraged by his words. I pray that I can be a testament to them, I pray that GOD helps me help them because I hope that through me they see a piece of GOD.

If you are reading this and believe, I pray that you too can be an ambassador for Christ. I know that GOD will still love me even if I don't do this but I want others to experience his LOVE.

Confessions

I never imagined that I could doubt my faith in GOD. I was always someone who claimed to "trust" GOD and leave my burdens unto him to take care off but when it comes to the crunch time, the minute I felt a "real" obstacle I caved in ; I doubted and let GOD down. It took the words of a very close friend of mine to bring me back around. I know that we are not supposed to to place our faith in man BUT sometimes GOD uses people to do his work for him. She reminded me that GOD has always been there for me through some pretty rough times and he has made me victorious in all that I do. She reminded me of how things that I thought were impossible became achievable only through GOD.

Why is it so hard to trust GOD and believe him when he said that we should "give all your worries and cares to GOD, for her cares about you." 1 Peter 5:7

Why is it that we can place so much faith in a husband or wife ; a boyfriend or girlfriend or even our children yet find it so hard to believe that GOD is taking care of us. I have changed my mindset and thoughts. No matter how many times I fail GOD  he has yet to fail me once.

I have learnt that bad and trying circumstances are guaranteed in life; it happened to everyone even non believers.

I am fortunate in the fact that I have a loving father who carried me through these trying times. I feel guilty about doubting GOD but take comfort in knowing that our GOD is loving and forgiving and that he will not hold my transgressions against me.

"For  nothing is impossible with GOD! Luke 1:37

Faith is

What is faith to you?  Is it, buying a lottery ticket hoping that you are "lucky" enough to be this week's grand prize winner. Is it landing that dream job or getting the perfect SUV that you have been wishing for.

Faith can be a lot of things to many people, different things to different people. For me, it is getting into my car knowing that I will reach my destination safely, saying goodbye to a loved one knowing that I will see them soon and they will be kept safe and sound. It means having the piece of mind to know that I can conquer any trial or hardships because the GOD that I serve is always there for me guiding me through every step of the way.

The thing about faith is every person has to have it either in another person, themselves and most importantly in GOD if we did not then well, we would not be able to live a fruitful abundant life. 

 The other thing about faith is it sometimes dwindles when things are going bad, we second guess the fact that GOD exists and always want answers to our questions. Remember that there is a time and season for everything. You may not know the reason why you are in the situation that you are in today but that does not mean that this situation does not have a purpose.

You need to be strong in your faith because everyday is a test easy enough to past but only if you want to. You will soon realise that "real" faith is better that any winning lottery ticket one can buy, faith in JESUS guarantees you an unmeasurable prize a one way ticket to eternal salvation.

Keep the Faith!!!

Have you ever felt like there was no way out for you? , nothing could ever change. You stuck in what seems like hell & praying to God for help. Yet, day after day there is nothing; you wait and wait but nothing.

You losing faith, depressed and going insane. Why is that happening to me? What have I done to deserve this? And then just when you feel like you can’t go on any more, it happens you feel this hand lift you and this huge burden you were carrying has disappeared.

That is the Power of our Awesome God that you have just been lucky enough to experience. He sees your hurt and pain and intervenes in the right time. He is Always with you, especially when you felt hat he was long gone. He never leaves you nor does he forsake you. Believe in this for it is True.

Hebrews 11Vs1 says that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This means that even if you can’t feel what’s happening, you can’t see and there is no physical proof that things are changing, they are. You just have to have faith, because God told us his people in Matthew 17 Vs 20, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move . Can you imagine the difference between a mustard seed and a mountain, God is so powerful that all he asks of us is to have a miniscule amount of faith in him and he will move mountains for us. He is the same, all powerful & Omni present and our faith in him needs to be constant in good and in bad. Never doubt the power of our GOD and saviour, he has great things planned for us so don’t miss out, because he is the author of your destiny and he will ensure that you achieve his plans for your life.

Remember that just as the sun must shine again, you shall also recover from whatever you are going through right now. All you need to do is have faith and keep your eye on the prize which is fulfilling God’s holy plan for your life.
