The Finisher Of Our Faith

The Finisher Of Our Faith

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV)

But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. Galatians 5:22

Your lives will be filled with the truly good qualities which only Jesus Christ can produce, for the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:11

 

Our faith can never be complete

Without Christ’s grace and help.

Our faith cannot be finished

or perfect

Without Him

 

 

He is the one

That bears fruits

In us

 

He started it all

He called us

He cleansed us

And became our father

Therefore, we are absolutely nothing

Without Him

 

Christ is grace, glory and mercy

Our faith cannot grow

Except by the power of Christ

 

We must keep looking unto Him

And at Him

We must fix our gaze

On His words

And His life

And imitate Him

 

As we meditate on His word

Let us also pray

That we will be

Given grace and power to understand His word

It is only this spiritual understanding

That will give birth to faith

And other fruits and virtues

Necessary for

Christian growth and maturity.

Dreams Can Come True

Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, Poems, Power, Scripture
Dreams Can Come True

Dreams can come true

Lions can become silent

Mountains can melt

Thunders can become mute

 

 

Dreams can come true

The lame can walk

The depressed can experience joy

The impossible can become possible

 

Scorpions can be trampled upon

Snakes can die by fire

Wolves can be tamed

Life can become joyful once again

 

Dreams can come true

Only by the power of God

That silences thunders

And melts great mountains

Grace Be Multiplied

Bible, Christian Faith, Grace, Home, Inspirational, Knowledge and Wisdom, Scripture, The Word
Grace Be Multiplied

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, (2 Peter 1:2 NKJV)

Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things (2 Timothy 2:7 NKJV)

 

When grace is multiplied

In the knowledge

Of God

We will understand His word

And His will.

 

 

We will no longer

Struggle to believe

That the blood of Jesus

Has set us free

We will simply know it

In our spirits

And our spirits

Will confess His Holy Word.

Then our lives will

Be restored by heart faith

Trust and belief

In God’s great redemption

Even as we strive to

Love one another.

 

So let us approach

The throne of grace

In humility

Because He gives grace

To the humble

 

As we meditate on His glorious word

Let us pray for

Grace to understand

So that the light of His word

Will penetrate deep enough

To produce heart conviction and faith

 

Blessed be God

Blessed be His Holy Name

Blessed be His Holy word

Blessed be Jesus

For a great and glorious

Redemption

He Gives Families To The Lonely

Bible, Christian Faith, Decree and Proclamations, Home, Inspirational, Poems, Power, Scripture
He Gives Families To The Lonely

God sets the solitary in families;

He brings out those who are bound into prosperity. (Psalm 68:6 NKJV)

 

God will give

Families to the lonely,

Because loneliness is against His will.

 

 

The lonely will once again,

Have companions,

That will lead to great happiness.

 

God will wipe away

The tears and sorrows,

Of the lonely and unloved.

 

Those who were once called unloved

Will be called loved, blessed and cherished.

The blessings of God

Will overwhelm them.

The Light Of Heaven

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, light, Poems, Power, Scripture
The Light Of Heaven

When it seams

Like all hope is gone

And mercy is absent

And denied

 

 

When favour and blessings

Look unattainable

And life seams bleak

And dark

That is the time to

Offer our knees in prayer

And cry out for help

 

It is not the time

To give in to depression

Hopelessness and despair

Rather it is the time

To cling to faith in

The blood of Jesus

And activate power

By prayer, praise and thanksgiving

 

It is the time to spend long

Hours in God’s presence

And wait upon Him

Until the light of heaven

Shows up

 

Praise God

For the gift of prayer!

When I Was A Child

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Fiction, Home, Inspirational, Poems
When I Was A Child

When I was a child

I used to believe

In the goodness

Of humanity

And man.

 

 

I thought everyone

Was like me

Loving good

And hating evil

With a passion.

 

Then, along the way

as I grew up

I noticed that man was perverted – even kids

As they ganged up

And bullied the innocent.

I noticed that some kids

Derived pleasure in

Hurting their peers.

 

I used to believe

In purity

Until I saw wickedness

All around me

And men exploited each other

For ungodly gains

And pleasure.

They tore each other apart

Feeding on one another

Like voracious animals.

Then one hot afternoon

In July, I stared into the

Blazing sun and I said to myself

Surely,

‘Some men are wild animals in

Human skin?’

 

Then I decided to transform

Into the greatest beast of all

To destroy all my attackers

And erase the wicked.

 

Then I heard a soft gentle voice

Speak softly into my soul

‘Don’t do it my child,

You were created good

And pure,

And your good heart

Has been a snare to you.

However, you must remain

Pure and good

Leave judgement and revenge to me

Because,

I am the destroyer

Of the wicked.’

 

Then I resolved firmly within me

To keep believing in goodness

And purity

And never give up

Because there is

A God in Heaven

Who is the judge

Of all mankind.

He is also a rewarder

Of those who diligently seek Him.

Heaven’s Gate

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Fiction, Heaven, Home, Inspirational, Intimacy, Scripture, Short Stories, The bridegroom, Visions
Heaven’s Gate

A gentle pat on my left leg

And I wake up

To behold a mighty Angel

In my room.

He smiled,

And I smiled back.

 

 

Immediately I smiled back

I found myself at

Heavens gate

As I walk though the city,

I loose every memory of pain,

Heartbreak and disappointment.

 

The Lord Himself walks

Towards me,

In a golden garment,

Studded with gemstones,

Shining brighter than the sun.

Resplendent, radiant and overwhelming

In power and beauty,

He kisses my right cheek,

And says,

‘I love you.’

And I think to myself,

‘How wonderful the Lord is,

That He expresses love very easily

Without shyness or childishness.

 

His comfort in love

And words of love

Made Him more attractive

And alluring

As I gaze at Him – My big Daddy,

With beautiful brown, tear filled eyes.

 

Then I remember my own husband

Who can never say

‘I love you’

But would show me in a million

Ways how much he loves me.

I always wanted to hear

Those precious healing words

But my husband denied me that pleasure

Relief and comfort

Of the mind.

 

Then I recall that the Holy Spirit

Said to me in the past,

‘A blessed woman is a woman

Who hears I love you everyday.’

He also taught me the importance

Of expressing love

As He constantly says to me,

‘Express your love for me.’

 

Here I am,

Hand in hand

With my King

Walking on golden streets

Surrounded by His glory

Hearing the one word

I was always denied.

 

Tears drop down my eyes

As the Lord opens up His

Healing arms

And I rush in

Overwhelmed by a million

Positive emotions and love, joy, peace, consolation and comfort.

 

I hugged Him never to let go

Muttering ceaselessly into His chest

Intoxicated by His fragrance,

Which smelt like nothing on earth.

 

‘I love you Lord, I love you Lord,

More than everyone,

And anything

On earth, I will show you my love

By constant obedience and service.

Your will is my will, your pleasure is my pleasure.’

 

I kept saying this, like a glorious litany rushing

Like golden cascades of love

Out of my quivering lips.

This pleased the Lord greatly.

 

He holds my face in His hands

Wipes away my tears

Gazing deeply into my adoring tender eyes,

‘I love you my child,

You are a princess,

Don’t ever forget that.’

 

Then I find myself

Back in my room

Wishing He never let go.

The Great One

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational
The Great One

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”

 

We bless Him,

We praise Him,

Because

He is greater than

All our problems.

 

 

Our great and mighty God

Is sovereign;

Ruling over all creation.

All things must praise Him,

Because

All Things serve Him

And His purpose.

 

Because of who He is,

What He has done

On the cross,

And what He can do,

We must constantly

Praise Him.

 

May all creation

Praise Him.

And may we always

Praise Him.

Your Response To Trials

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, Scripture, Trials
Your Response To Trials

Trials are a part

Of everyday life.

They come and go

Leaving some wrecked

And damaged.

 

While some people

Respond positively

To trials

By clinging more to

God and depending

On Him,

Some are left devastated

And completely defeated.

 

Some even go into despair,

Loosing hope and faith

In God and humanity.

 

Trials only expose

How vulnerable

We are as humans,

Because no one

Is exempted from trials

It is only wise

For us to determine

That trials will

Not make us bitter.

 

Rather, we decide

That we will develop

Positive traits even

In the midst of

The trials.

 

Trials should make

Us develop patience

Perseverance, endurance

Fortitude, hope, faith

Joy, kindness courage.

 

Trials should make us

Become more hardworking

And energetic, giving us

That I can do attitude

That will make us more

Than conquerors.

 

Trials should

Ultimately make us

Victorious in Christ,

If our response is positive

And right.

We Will Run

We Will Run

We will run

We will fight

We will endure

Because

The greater one

Lives in us.

 

He lives in us

To guide us

To protect us

To teach us.

 

In our Christian race,

He is constantly

Enabling us

And empowering

Us to greater heights.

 

When we run

We do not

Lose hope

Or get weary

Because the king of glory

Is with us and within us.
