1 Peter 5:9
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

Yes, resist him and he will flee. He is none other our old serpent Satan. Satan has bee working left and right to deceive people and set them away from God. Every time he does that he finds that the maze is getting more complicated. His same old trick work no more. He is been constantly improving his skills in deceiving people. But till date Satan has never been able to device a person who stands firm in Faith. Faith in God is the key to resist him.  Just like Job resist him no matter what may come, for one thing be sure of – God may let Satan try deceive you but will never let him get over you. He says to Satan for Job – He is in your hand, but spare his life.

So hand on to the faith you have in God, build it strong and stand firm on it. There is no way the serpent can gloat over you for your Faith in God will obstruct Satan and crush him under your feet.

God Bless!

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

 Yes that’s very true; the whole existence of God comes in from faith. No one has seen God with his naked eyes. It’s only by faith we believe that God exist. If that’s the case then we need to have our complete faith in Him without any doubts or second thought. Life leads you through so many experiences that points onto the fact that God does exist and if we remove Gods existence then there is a complete big void.

The entire creation, the human survival and the natural environment around us itself is a testimony to the fact that God exists. A ancient theory will not be sufficient enough to prove that God does not exist and the creation is just an outcome of a big bang blast.

And now that our faith is anchored of God, it’s only by complete faith can we please God. There is no other way that you can please Him. And to all those who have their faith in Him, God is a God who rewards them in just. He rewards them according to the measure of faith and the earnestness of faith.

Hand on to the anchor and keep your faith firm on Him.

God Bless!

When things work against your faith…

I have always been a strong preacher of faith and I not just preach but also have experience that faith has the power to work beyond any material potentiality and can work impossible things possible.

Jesus during his ministry in this world had repeatedly shared about having faith and living a life of faith. Jesus says if you have faith like a mustard seed then if you command the mountains to move it will.

The Old Testament says about great personalities who lived a life full of faith and experience the miracles in their life. Look at

^-           Abraham who by faith became father in his old age.

-          By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death

-          By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen

-          By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born’

-          By faith the people passed through the Red Sea

-          By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days

-          And so on…

But what makes in our life is what we preach for. In our lives we have seen repeatedly that Gods amazing in His ways and has always met the standards His children have laid. We always put our standards that our God will help us and lead us. God has been faithful in blessing our Faith and helping us to nurture our faith. But why is it so that when we lose on fight in faith we ask a big list of questions with WHY?

-          Why God?

-          Why didn’t you help?

-          Why are you silent?

-          Why have you hid your face?

-          Why is your existence being question within me?

-          And so on….

But let me remind you one verse from the Bible –“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

When we are fighting the most toughest battle in faith many a times we find that things start working against our faith and probably ends against all out expectations.

It was few days before where even I went through a tough face where my faith was questioned. It was a moment that I could not believe upon. Over the past year the faith that I kept on my Lord about deliverance was not answered and the final outcome was against all my expectations and I went clueless of what’s happening.

I was fighting within me why this happened and suddenly my attention was taken to the book of Daniel chapter 3

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. ¹⁷ If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. ¹⁸ But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

I was again thinking on why God sent this word to me and I realized that when I combined both the verse, I find that with my strong faith and humanly mind I have limited wisdom and in my wisdom I have been putting a prayer request with faith.

God clearly says that nothing bad can happen to anyone who is in Christ. God cannot be wrong in His verse and as for faith lets have a faith such as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

Let’s be firm in faith that even if death falls on us, our faith in God will never stumble. We have faith like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that God will definitely protect us and bless our faith in Him, but even if He does not us nee to know that whatever happens, it happens for our blessing for the creator knows what’s the best for His creation.

The one who has made us so fearfully and wonderfully knows what THE perfect thing for our life. We with out limited knowledge cannot see beyond a scope and thus find at times that we have lost our battle in faith but lets still hang on no matter what comes against our faith, let our ship of life be anchored on the firm foundation in Christ and see how the master has created a perfect plan for us.

 God bless our Faith
