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.

My Beloved

If you would let me walk through the corners of your heart   I will take the thorns away with anesthesia enough to take you through I will shine my light in the path for your eyes to see and your feet to walk I will wrap you round in the warmth of my embrace From the cold that gives you frost bite in the feet and a chest pain even on a warm day I know you let some love in the left you broken And now it’s difficult to catch the pieces that remain because your strength is gone I see it all in your eyes, Even though you try to make it seem like you have it all together You have been bought with a prize I took all the brakes in my heart to see you whole I got striped and left in the cold so you could find warmth in me (would be hid in me and stay warm) I’m not about to let you go through all that trauma (again). I did it already, for you, for all So that when you pass through the rivers, you will have me around When you pass though waters, it ...

Faithfulness

Today I want to share something about faithfulness. Faithfulness,according to google,  is the concept of unfailingly remaining  loyal  to someone or something, and putting that loyalty into consistent practice regardless of extenuating circumstances. Literally, it is the state of being full of  faith  in the sense of steady devotion to a person, thing or concept. In my understanding, it is being consistently committed to a course or person regardless of what comes your way. I want to focus on the things that we have been called to do or the things that we find per time to do. Sometimes we can get so lackadaisical about stuff when no one is watching or when others are playing their part. Sometimes its really because we don’t have enough drive to do what we really want to do. Sometimes, factors beyond our control can be the cause. Sometimes its because we have not exactly decided to take up responsibility by ourselves. Sometimes we don’t have knowledge ...

GOD'S PATTERN OF HEALING// PT1

Hello everyone. I hope your week has been good? We'll be going on a journey through the book of Joel. I hope to expose certain things about God's pattern of doing things. You would have to pick up your bible to follow closely. God's ways are not the ways of man at all and the book of Joel paints that picture of how things go with God. I mean, the ways of God. I've come to discover that the ways of God remain the same from generation to generation. Though the situations may be different  but God's patterns are the same yesterday, today and forever. For this reason, the people of the land of Judah in the book of Joel were told to make known the ways of God from generation to generation. Joel 1:3 -  "Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation." Things had gone in disarray on the land and it's a reflection somehow of how things happen in our individual lives. A time came in Judah when...
