THAT I MAY KNOW HIM 1: Author and Finisher

Philippians 3:10 

"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;"


This prayer was made by Apostle Paul and is a very deep one. We will focus on the first part of it- "that I may know Him"

Jesus is a lot of things to a lot of people. Some know him on theory basis, while some have experienced his workings in their lives. Today, I will share about Jesus as the "author" and "finisher".


Hebrews 12:2a

New King James Version

2 " looking unto Jesus, the author and [b]finisher of our faith, "


Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith. As one justified by God, the Lord says we should live by faith. meaning, taking steps based on what the written or the spoken word of God says. Now, when a believer takes steps in line with the word, things may not fall immediately in line as one would expect, and often times, because we are humans, we may begin to bother. However, today's scripture is for comfort, that Jesus who helps us to start a thing will also be the one to organise it's finishing. Because Jesus is the word, he is able to work the word to pass in our lives.

This does not exclude us from the process, because he is partnering with us.

Rest in this understanding,that if he started it,he will finish it! ♥️

On different levels and in different areas of life, you probably have made moves and steps because you were nurged to and you took step(s) of faith in the direction . however, there are days or times when it would appear that weariness begins to set in. however, the Lord wants us to know that he that starts a thing is the same one that will finish it.


I want you to know that God that has started a thing in your life is well able to bring it into fruition. God wants you to know, in this season, that he will awesomely finish what he started in your life.

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...

Hello people,i've got something new for us today.  Its a guest post from a sister from another mother,dated back to sometime in August.  I'm sure you'll be blessed in some way.😃.It blessed me. Enjoy the read😘. *******Hi Everyone, It's an awesome privilege to be here sharing with you guys. This blog has been a blessing to me personally and I'm so proud of what Dr Grace 😍is doing here. She invited me to share from my heart and I have been pondering on what to share because I like to avoid situations like this 😃 but God keeps pushing me and breaking my walls. I was at a hangout for young leaders yesterday and it was an awesome time in God's presence with God's people. One thing I've learnt in recent times is the beauty of growing together with power minds chasing after Christ and making an impact in our world for the kingdom. In these days and times, a whole lot is going on and we cannot run this race alone. We need a support system to help us g...
