Faith Fit For Purpose:  

Throughout the bible are people who exemplified an astounding belief in God. Through them, God was able to do amazing and mighty deeds that defied their situation, and any adversity, and against the odds, came through victorious.

Living a life of great faith is a learned behaviour. Elijah was described as a man with a nature like ours. What God has done for one He will do for another, for God is no respecter of persons. There are principals of faith, that when applied to your life, will produce results that will be spectacular!!!

Keeping The Faith Ignited

A knife needs to be constantly sharpened and resharpened so that it doesn’t lose its edge. A dull knife requires more effort, and injuries are more frequent as a result. In the same way surveying instrumentation periodically needs to be adjusted and readjusted to maintain accuracy in its function. They say it needs recalibration.

Likewise, our faith too can become dull. As a fine instrument gets knocked around, affected by dust and weather, we too, can in life get knocked around and our faith needs a recalibration. Jesus restored Peters faith after he had gone back fishing and renewed the original call to “Follow Me.”

The parable of the sower tells us that the seed is the word of God. The success of the word which is described in scripture as incorruptible does not depend on the seed which is perfect, faultless and pure; but totally on the soil in which it is planted.

Hearing with a noble and good heart and holding on to that word will ensure the blessing for which it was intended. As believers in Christ we are of noble birth and with an honest heart receive the implanted word which will bear fruit.

Take Heart For I Believe God

The Apostle Paul a prisoner on a ship bound for Rome encourages the 276 men aboard as ship wreck was inevitable. “Take Heart  Men For I Believe God.”

A word of faith when people are in fear and despairing of life will sustain not only you, but also those around you. When the world is sinking in the turbulent times faith in the God of all ages and the God who is well able will bring you through.

Glowing Embers

Are you wounded? Hurting? Broken within?

God wants to breathe on the glowing embers of your life. He has a plan and a purpose for you - only submit to God. Believe in Him and believe in His Word.

And He will fan into flame the Gift He has given!

Miracles In Mathew

Mathew Chapter 9 is an action packed ministry few days for Jesus. There is nothing that quite builds your faith like reading the gospel.

Jesus said it was just as easy to forgive as it was to be healed. Jesus believes in package deals and economy of effort. The reason is simple. The same faith required to be forgiven and saved is the same faith to be delivered and healed.

It doesn’t say that Jesus saw the crippled legs or the anguish or the result of people being separated from God because of sin, but it does say that Jesus saw their faith.

Need alone did not move Jesus to heal, it was their faith.

This Is My Manifesto

Throughout the ages and the millennium of time people have sought to clearly outline their thoughts and their intent in what is commonly called a manifesto. You and I are more comfortable with the terms vision and mission statements.

The greatest mission statement and vision to mankind is God’s manifesto, the Bible, for this and every millennium. Its Inspired, infallible, infinitely inexhaustible and more up to date than today’s newspaper. It supersedes, it surpasses and will lay in the dust of time every other grand manifesto that man may hold dear. Put your faith today in the only manifesto that is not of human origin and therefore is eternal. 

Light And Salty: Condensed

Being described as “Salt Of The Earth” is always seen as a compliment; fair dinkum and true blue, where our yes would be yes, and our no would be no. Jesus has called His saints to be both salt and light. And to penetrate the world in which we live, both are needed.

Salt preserves, adds flavour, and was in ancient times of great value. Light illuminates the way ahead and dispels darkness. Changing and charging the atmosphere for God and for good, is the Christian witness.
