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...

Treasures

 Isiah45:3 {NLT} And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—     secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.  The word of God makes us to know that the earth, the world, as a whole is covered with darkness, according to Isaiah 60:2a - " See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, "  This automatically means that before anyone was born at all, the earth swam in darkness and so by default, we live in a world that is dark. But scripture says that light shines in darkness and darkness can't comprehend it. Jesus is this Light that shines in darkness. If you do not have Jesus in your life, I urge you to ask Him in now to be your Lord and Savior. The anchor scripture for today let's us into an important matter, that there are treasures hidden in this dark world, that only God can reveal to an individual.

Are You Asking Right?

Are you really focusing on the right things when you are asked to ask for what we want? I use to have a restrain in prayer before now. It was more like a subconscious one. Even though I have always known that God is able to do ALL things,I often catch myself doubting when it comes to asking for certain things~ BIG THINGS . For some reason,it seemed they were too big for me to ask him. I guess I just felt they were too big for me to have. But I know better now. I realised that God didn't just say 'Ask and it shall be given unto you....' in Matthew 7:7 He said to Jeremiah in Jeremiah 33:3- 'Call unto me,and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which thou knowest not' God was literally defining the things he wanted Jeremiah to ask for... great things and mighty . God was telling him that in as much as there are things which seem great and mighty to him,that He ,God ,will reveal them to him if he asked him to. Daughter of God,Son if God, are you ...
