It is important we understand that the effectiveness or efficacy of prayer doesn’t have much to do with it’s length, how often we pray, or the intensity of our shout but rather it is our faith in God and His word that matters (Hebrews 11:6). Importantly effective prayers must be in line with God’s will, plan and purpose for us

Matthew 5:20 is saying to us….Live out who you identify as and profess to be, knowing it alone is just not good enough. We should not be Christians only in our Churches or only among other believers or only on Church days. We are to be light in a dark world and seasoning for a largely godless generation.

When passion turns to conviction with a corresponding action, then and only then can meaningful impact be made and change effected.
Passion (alone) about God seldom changes things, but faith always does.

Faith is not passive, it is active.
Faith believes the Word of God, Speaks the Word of God and Acts on the Word of God it believes.

Faith without corresponding works (action) is dead.

“A person’s body that does not have a spirit is dead. It is the same with faith—faith that does nothing is dead!“
James 2:26 ERV

Today, do something about what you say you believe. ???

Sadly, what this also means is that if I do not act in faith I may never reveal and experience the righteousness of God which is always available to me. We are unlikely to experience God’s integrity/ without faith. You cannot have victory without faith. There is an opportunity today to uncover the faithfulness/righteousness/wholeness of God in your work, health, academics, business, ministry, family, etc. Take God by His Word, believe and you will see the glory of God manifested.

ONE also describes something of same quality and make-up, something that is identical. This is the meaning of ONE this write-up is about.

The reason He did it is so that instead of suffering the curse, you can have and enjoy the blessing of Abraham; inheriting and enjoying all of God’s promises in Abraham through FAITH in Christ.

when we talk about people behind their backs, when we talk people down, when we degrade others with our words, when we bluntly dismiss other people’s feelings, when we engage in a conversation where we seek to build ourselves up or make ourselves look good by making others look bad- this is unwholesome talk.

So faith is for every split second, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year, every time.
Faith reveals the righteousness of God and the faith to reveal the righteousness of God comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. Without the Word, there will be no stimulus to act in faith and without acting in faith, the righteousness/faithfulness/wholeness of God cannot be experienced.

Happy Wednesday Friends,

I trust that you and all yours are fine and well.

I regret to inform you that I will be unable to share the usual Wednesday blogpost due to some technical issues on the site which is affecting content delivery to the different publishing platforms/outlets.

My sincere apologies.

I look forward to sharing Friday’s Bible Study post, by which time this issue would have been resolved.

Blessings & Love Always

unwholesome talks do not build people up, they are not edifying, they neither benefit the person doing the talking nor the person being talked about. Unwholesome talks grieves the Holy Spirit, they do not reflect kindness or a compassionate heart, rather such slanders many times indicate concealed bitterness, anger and unforgiveness.
