faithfulness

"your faith is equal to or less than the knowledge you have, never greater",  this was a statement a friend send me and it made my mind go wild for a second because it made me ask myself some hard questions. Does it mean that their people who will always have "little" or "small" faith because they do not possess or have a lot of knowledge or the other way around does it mean that those people who are well informed or have amassed knowledge will have great faith? Is this the ground of faith anyway? if not what is an adequate ground of faith available to the simplest uninformed among us? I will respond to this because the scriptures urge me to 1st John 4:1. Believing and knowing are not alternatives in the new testament, belief is based on knowledge and leads to deeper knowledge john 17:7,8 Paul writes to the Corinthians "we believe and therefore we speak, knowing that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus"2nd cor 4:...

The way a word is defined really means a lot . for instance the word freedom is defined as "right to do what you want " you will promote anarchy and social chaos. but true freedom is "power to do what you ought " so when we teach on grace and lead people to believe or conclude that "I can sin and get away with it "we are rather turning grace into something filthy or something of immoral desire. Gods grace is an active change agent in our lives, grace does not forgive us but it changes us. we tend to tell people that we are all sinners so do not judge one another for we will be morally pure only after going to heaven..... well it is possible to overemphasize the love of God if we neglect the fear of lord and we are actually told that is the begging of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) I would say that for so long we have been fed with the wrong concept of grace as "unmerited favor" and some have even made it worse by saying "it is getting favor from G...

Y ou think that your life is in your own hands then think again. I hear people say that it's my choice my life but hey some notices I want to share with us today this is the reality of life it's not your own.  where did you come from did you produce yourself? No! God made you in his likeness and image, in fact, he gave us his breath that is why we live.  Dad and mam had to give a lot of things including the very care that we all need in life. but how that changes to become your own life I wonder because when you stand to tell people to leave you alone and mind their own business is saying in other words that God should take back what he gave. Your parents and friends to reverse all that they did to you which of course it's not possible but the pain that it causes or the damage it does is equivalent to actually being wiped out of existence.  this is a harsh reality to us who claim the so-called "human rights" this life isn't our own we were freely given and w...
