FAITH (THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL)

FAITH.
Faith is like the magic spell that brings to reality your wishes and desires.
Hebrews 11 tells us about faith. Verse 1 of Hebrews 11 says, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Verse 3 strucked me in two places;
1. God created the world through faith. He believed in His words. No wonder in psalms 138:2; it says; thou hast magnified thy Word above thy name. That same word that was made flesh as seen in John 1.
2. Things which are seen where not made of things which do appear. God made the world out of nothing. Absolutely nothing. Man would have to work with the elements of earth to create something. But God makes something out of nothing.
That makes Him the God who knows no impossibilities.
He is not limited by anything.
Matthew 19:26 says, With God all things are possible.
It's really amazing!
Hebrews 11 is such an amazing chapter to read when you are down. We see how faith made Abraham, Joseph, Noah, Gideon and Samson great men. And how it made Sarah and Rahab great women. We see how faith has saved many. It resuced Daniel from the mouth of the Lions. And so much more that Apostle Paul said, it would take time to mention all. They all obtained good reports.
No wonder, without faith it is impossible to please God. Satan works hard to destroy our faith. He makes us doubt. He makes us to see God has an infinitesimal God. We begin to limit Him by our human reasoning.
Take a look at this, there are times we hope on God to do something new, and we begin to tell Him how we want Him to do it. But we get surprised at the end because it didn't happen the way we expect it to happen, it happened in the way we never thought of it to happen. That's how God works. His ways are not like ours and so His thoughts.
Faith!!!
God can make something out of nothing.
We have to wait long sometimes. But let your faith stay strong. God will never let it fail. And before you know it, those testimonies will just keep running in.
Faith will make us great men and women.
Imagine this, if your faith can be as big as a mustard seed, we would be able to move mountains (though Christ said, if we have faith as small as a mustard seed meaning our faith is not up to a mustard seed.)
I pray that one day, I'd be able to exercise great faith. And I pray the same for you too.
Remember!
¤ God can make something out of nothing.
¤ Faith can make us great.

Joy Of Motherhood

" She's here! What should I do with her? How am I going to do this? Where should I start from? Oh God, I can't. I just can't. She's cute but she's stuck with me now. I don't think I can do this." Jay wouldn't stop lamenting. Her daughter has just been born. It was her first child. It wasn't an easy ordeal for her, but she didn't want to think about it. She's was protecting her mental health. Her fears almost consumed her. Not until her baby was brought to be fed had she felt any connection. The moment her baby latched to her breast, it was a different experience entirely. One she will never forget. It felt like a message. One that said, "Hey mummy, I couldn't wait to do this with you. I am yours fully. I depend strongly on you. You are my mother and I know that. I wouldn't give up on you. I wouldn't let you go. I am here for you and I love you." Words could not express how she felt. She saw her baby's helples

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

It was in the year, 2004. She was in Junior class 3. A quiet and simple girl. The school authorities admired her. He was one of her school teachers. A short man, who loves to use a short cane. He was called Uncle E. He had been her teacher since class 1. But something happened. While teaching in class, he wouldn't stop staring at her. It was too much that she got embarrassed. He would walk to her seat, put his hands on her shoulder, locate her bra handle, drag it up, and let it go. It got to a point, her friends had to switch seats with her, so short Uncle E's hands wouldn't get to her. One day, he said; " You are my loving girl". And other words that got her confused. She went home, told her mum all that has happened. Her mum got angry. She reported to an authority in the school. One of the vice principals. He, the vice principal, decided to talk with the teacher first. But Uncle E told the principal to bring the case to the class to confirm all that had hap
