Romans_1-17: For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith

This year you And I will testify in Jesus name

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”

Romans 1:17 (KJV)

I don’t know how we came about the idea that simply because we are in the will of God challenges will not come. The fact that you are in the will of God does not give you immunity from the challenges of life. The fact that you are in the will of God is the more reason the enemy would come against you. Oftentimes when people are in the will of God, the challenges they face are so big that they will begin to wonder; did God really promise? Did…

Whenever you come to the crossroads of life, get ready because God is ready to show you a dimension of himself that you have never seen. There will always be crossroads. You cannot pray, fast or confess it out of existence. Every one of us will surely come to crossroads several times in our lives. A crossroad is a place where you make critical decisions. Crossroads are part of your pathway to greatness.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Rahab was a prostitute. She took a good look at her life and must have imagined how she would end up. She saw an opportunity when the servant of God who came to spy the land lodged at her house. She took a decision to end prostitution. She looked at herself and realized that of all the people in her city, God had chosen to visit her. She made a decision…

James 1:19 (Amplified):“Understand , my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear [a ready listener], slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry.”

We cannot even begin to count how many times this has spared us in doing all God requires us to do. It is, indeed, better to draw in and listen – quick to receive correction too – rather than to speak. In every conversation you engage in today, remember to take the time to listen to what is being said from the heart of others. More than that listen to things unspoken in words too!

In The Bible are promises precious beyond measure to us children of the most high God, because I have found that God always stands behind them solidly, unwaveringly, as surely as the sun rises and the tides ebb and flow.
