Faith has 2 parts a) a belief that God exists and b) the belief that he rewards them that seek him diligently. The woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 believed that if she touched Jesus' clothes she would be whole. God can do the impossible and He never fails. Have faith in God

Today, Jesús is offering Salvation to you. Therefore, if you hear His voice calling to you, please do not harden your heart. Now is the accepted time, today is your day of Salvation..

Friends you may be facing a rough patch now. You are almost out of options. It may seem as if nothing is working in your favor. I am encouraging you to choose joy over hopelessness. Rejoice because the Lord is your refuge and strength. The rubber may have hit the road, you may be between a rock and a hard place...look beyond your circumstances..see the bigger picture..God is able..trust in Him and His word and choose to rejoice...look back at what he has done for you in the past and look ahead in hope. He can do the impossible.

Jesus wants us not only to love people who are lovable. He wants us to love the difficult- the complainers, the bullies, the gossipers and those who get on your last nerve. We are not perfect, yet He loves us. We must therefore love others like He does..it is a sure sign of faith.

God sometimes asks us to act on certain matters. Our obedience is KEY. Saul is a perfect example . God asked him to kill all the Amalekites. However, he only did it in part. He killed some and saved others including King Agag,the best of the sheep and oxen. God said he was sorry he had made Saul King and Saul was rejected. Although Samuel mourned for Saul, there was nothing he could do. God had already drawn the line. He chose David to replace Saul. Let us obey God and live.

The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of His doings".

Today when you examine the events of your life, what do you see? The situations that you face may not be good, but God says in Jeremiah 29:11 that the plans that He has for you are not to harm you. They are intended to give you hope and a future. Look around you and declare that everything that happened in my life that was good " God did It"

If someone has hurt or wronged you, do something about it. FORGIVE! Jesus said in St Matthew 6:15 " But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Friends when you forgive you set yourself free.

We live in a corrupt world and as Christians we MUST take a stand for holiness and righteousness. This simply means drawing the line on activities which go against our beliefs and values. Yes, you may lose some friends and family may turn against you, when you do but i assure you that God will stand by you. When the night is the blackest he has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us...so let us draw the line on ungodly practices, friendships and anything else that goes against the Word of God. Let us not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

70 years is the normal span of human life. One may or may not live longer. How are you living your life? What kind of story is being told? Is it intriguing or frightening? Is it lived for God or on your own term? God has blessed us with life which we should be willing to give back to Him. Therefore, live your life according to His will and purposes.
