Rhythm of Faith

Gods 100 Times Your 0=0... (Do Something Natural and Expect Gods Blessings) In the Story of Elijah in 1 kings 17:5-6, the bible notes  “And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook” (1 Kings 17:5-6). I want us to note that there was a supernatural supply of bread and flesh, but there was also a natural supply of water.   The water  wasn’t a supernatural supply. It was already there and had been for thousands of years. It was natural. When God calls you to do something, the provision is not totally supernatural. There are also natural things that will meet your needs.” Some of us are just expecting God to rain money out of heaven without any natural action.  But God’s supply is both supernatural and natural. We need to keep things in balance. God has given us all  talents and abilities. If we rely only on ourself for provision, we will face a lot of worri...

Crave Wisdom! The bible says " Wisdom is profitable to direct" Ecclesiastes 10:10 This means that  the advantage of wisdom is that it brings success.  Sometimes we expect God to do things that He has already given us wisdom to do.  When God created man, he knew that we would need to brush our teeth, take our bath, cook food, have shelter, write our thoughts, travel long distances etc but he did not create or send toothpaste from heaven, or stove for cooking, or books for writing, or ships, car, motorcycles for move He equipped us with the wisdom to create and produce the things we need.  We forget sometimes that we have wisdom or that all we need is wisdom. Wisdom helps us create, to succeed, to build, to recover, to enlarge, to achieve and to do exploits in every area of our lives; marriage,parenting, business, relationships etc Solomon knew the value of wisdom. Let us seek wisdom and ask God who gives liberally without upbraiding. ...

Location! Location! Location! The one thing we consider when buying a home or a starting a business is location. If you leave far from the town,a lot of places and amenities will not be readily available. You spend more to get your kids to a good school, you have to travel to get good medical care etc but when you live in town, you have them at your fingertips.  If you start a business and you open a shop in a bad location or in a place that inaccessible. You will hardly make a profit. Location is everything! Being at the right place and the right time will prevent you from missing life changing opportunities. David understood the benefits of being at the right place at the right time. He understood the value of location and so he says in  Psalm 16:11 " In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" The Psalmist says in Psalm 27:4" One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in ...

December! The Revelation Month December to me is a month of gratitude! Not because i have not been grateful to God throughout the year but because December is like the end of another long journey. It is an "Oh I Thank You Lord Month! December to me is like a race with hurdles and i have crossed all the hurdles and the finish line is right before me. December is like a mountain climbing experience where i am just a step away from cresting the mountain. December is the last chapter in a book,the book of revelations in the bible.  December is revelation month! A month where we look back and realize that there were a great deal of suprises this year. Some good, some bad! It is a month that  reveals to us our physical ,mental and spiritual growth. I look back and i realize that i am still standing by Gods grace. Unshaken! Unmoved! Not because the devil did not try but because Our God is Faithful!. Not because i have been faithful,good or deserving but beca...

Be Wise As a Serpent! “Jesus said also to the people, “When you see a cloud coming up in the west, at once you say that it is going to rain—and it does. And when you feel the south wind blowing, you say that it is going to get hot—and it does. Hypocrites! You can look at the earth and the sky and predict the weather; why, then, don't you know the meaning of this present time?  Luke‬ ‭12:54-56‬ ‭GNT‬‬ Clouds show us that rain or a storm is coming and then we begin to prepare. When we do not respond to signs and signals that God shows us. We loose out, things seem as if they have gotten out of control and we begin to wonder about the goodness of God.  It is Gods business to show us signs, it is our business to respond effectively. Jesus said that there will be signs to show his second coming. ““Be careful not to let yourselves become occupied with too much feasting and drinking and with the worries of this life, or that Day may suddenly catch you” ‭‭Luke...

Make Your Trial A GIft James 1:2-4 “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” I do not know how to count a trial as a gift but the bible says we should consider trials a sheer gift not just any gift but a SHEER one! Sheer means nothing but.  This means that our trials that should make us weep and ask "why me? is what we are to count as nothing but a gift. I understand though that even though trials are difficult, it produces results that we may otherwise never see. Gods greatest concern is for the soul of Man. That was why He sent His only son and it is for this same reason that God asks us to consider trials as gifts. You can never get the true taste of a teabag except you steep it ...

‭ A Miracle that is Far From A Miracle. ‭‭I Samuel‬ ‭24:6-7‬  In 1 Samuel 24,we read that Saul and his men were on a manhunt. They were searching for David to kill him because David was on the run. But something happens that seems like a miracle but really wasn't. This man that is trying to kill David all of sudden comes to relieve himself at the mouth of the cave where David was hiding with his men. Coincidence? I don't think so! David's Soldiers saw a perfect opportunity to get rid of their biggest problem Saul but David rejected their advice and said " God forbid I should stretch my hand against Gods anointed".  T I learn a lot about this situation. As far as the eye could see it was a perfect time, a perfect miracle! It seemed like God dropped Saul right into David's lap. God had already promised David the throne so David could have helped God speed up the process by killing Saul. However, David knew that even though this seemed like ...
