Jesus said, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”Matthew 6:26 (ESV) Philippians 4:4-7(ESV)
We should not worry along with the world about anything. One e.g. Global warming – Once people worried when the climatic condition went a bit cold thinking Ice Age would come. And people think we have to save the world environment. But the word of God says,“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” Genesis 8:21-22(ESV) Another e.g. Depletion of Nutritions- Some people think the nutrients in the vegetable are all gone. During our grand parents time they were good and so they were very strong, but now it is not so. Jesus said, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”” Matthew 4:4 (ESV)
Another e.g. Old Age problem – Bible says, “Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eye was undimmed, and his vigour unabated.” Deuteronomy 34:7 (ESV)Are you resting in these facts? Because as Jesus said twice that we are not of the world as He is not of the world. e.g. Economy- we will not go down or come up as the economy of this world system. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 (ESV). It is so amazing that always good comes from God and He has got nothing bad to give from heaven. e.g. Dead Sea area- God destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah. Genesis 19:24-25(ESV) Sulphur and fire came down from heaven. But from the mud in the Dead Sea area now they make cosmetics – skin products because they say it is good for the skin. Hallelujah!
- Know the Word of God thoroughly:
Let us rest assured in Jesus, our Lord and bless Him by following all His Commandments for He is good. His commandments were all different from how the world operates. So let us find out and follow all and be blessed. Rest in doing His Way.
“But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:16-17 (ESV)
Drive away negative (-) Emotions. Unbelief of his disciples made Jesus wonder and made him angry. In the natural we do not have the ability. So do not stop reading Bible and hearing the sermons preached thinking you knew everything. Faith comes through hearing again and again.
- Receive the gift of faith by the Holy Spirit:
“To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.”1 Corinthians 12:7-10 (ESV)
Put on positive (+) Emotions: Faith is the major part of the gift of the Holy spirit. We should give importance to tongues. Because while speaking in tongues we receive Faith which is given to us as one of the 9 gifts. Ask the Holy Spirit to pour in you His own gift of faith. Not our faith let His own faith work through us.
- Faith apart from works is dead:
“But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.” James 2:18, 26 (ESV)
Build up your faith like muscles.The disciples once they got the supernatural power they immediately put into practice. Acts 3:6(ESV)
