Great God

 The Living God in heaven never fails and has never failed. 

In the book of I Kings 17, the Isrealites turned away from God and worshipped idols which God warned them against in His commandments. This made God very angry and Elijah the prophet spoke a word unto the land that there shall be no rain which causes a great famine in the land.

Elijah then went into hiding and God fed him and even provided him with water. A time came when the water dried up, God still sent to him help from a Widow shared her last meal with Elijah, that caused her to have an abundance of food. Her hospitality to Elijah also caused her son to be healed and be brought back to life. 

In I kings 18 Elijah decided to prove to the King and the Israelites that he served a great God in a contest of Fire.



He told them in I Kings 18:24

"And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord and the God that answereth, let him be God. "

And they all agreed to this 

Now they had 450 prophets of their idol Baal, they prepared a bullock for it and called on their God to consume it with fire but no response....

They continued for hours such that Elijah began to mock them telling them maybe their God was sleeping. The people  even went as far as cutting themselves to get an answer but nothing happened.  This continued till evening. 

Elijah's turn had come, he prepared an altar for God according to the 12 tribes of Israel and set the bullock on it. Then he did something that was crazy, he asked for 3 gallons of water to be poured into the trench where the bullock was set.

He then called on the Lord and in I Kings  18:38,

"Then the fire of the Lord fell and consume the burnt sacrifice,  and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench."

This immediately made the people marvel and bowed down to proclaim that indeed the Lord is God.

This story just shows how great God is. Hallelujah!!!!!

God is moved by your faith

  We can change situations with our faith for God is moved by our faith. Now what is faith?? Faith is a belief and total trust in something  without any evidence.  You believe, you are totally confident in it but you have to evidence yet that it will be. My dad will say, "Faith is counting your eggs before they hatch"  We do not know how many chick's you will get yet but you just counting them and naming them already.  That is Faith. God is able to change situations by the amount of Faith system you carry in you. Mark 11:23 says, " For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." Now as read, your faith can move mountain, and cause a divine turnaround.  The key is to stand firm on your belief and not to doubt in your heart like Peter did when he was...

Hope in His word

Image
  Life is full of surprises,  so much surprises,  easy to fall out of Faith and leave the body of Christ. But when we start to loose our faith due to the issues of life, when our patience is thin and our hearts are heavily burdened, we need to remind ourselves why we believed in the first place.  How?? By read the word of God. Romans 15:4 says, "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." The stories in the Bible are not just for your entertainment but that you boost your faith in the Lord and have more resilience to bounce back and defeat the enemies.  The Bible gives us a preview of the world today, and it is for you to realise the Bible is not about perfect people, you should know that those stories are set for you to reorganise your thinking and make changes in your lives. I do hope you find hope in God's word again, study and you will feel more fulfilled...

God, the activating force

Image
God is the activating force that brings word to pass. God is known for bringing words to pass, especially when we make a decree in His name. A decree is usually backed up by a force and that force is what activates it. For we that serve God when we make a decree in His name, He activates it for us and brings His word to pass. But then He need you to speak the word first, before He can activate. Speak with power unto whatever situation, issue, problem or wall you are facing and make a decree standing on the word of God. Then watch it come to pass through the activating power of God.  Job 22:28 says, "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways."  Once you decree that thing, the light shall shine upon your ways, that light is Jesus. He will be with you on what you set out to do. But are you willing to make the decree? God is a God of decree and what He says happens. So you the people the created, you His sons an...
