Jesus the author and perfector of our Faith

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.


We have a great leader children of God who doesn't throw us into something and then leaves us to figure out what to do. Jesus started our faith, he is the one to perfect it. Perfect there means complete or maturity or bring to an end. 


Many start well and do not finish maybe because they lack backbone, but we are covered already, we have one. Jesus won't abandon ship like some leaders who resign along the way, no He's right there in the ship with you. Even when the storm rages He's there, hallelujah. 


Once we understand that, Christianity no longer becomes a burden because Jesus carries the bulk of the load. We are yoked together with Him and even when we don't do our part, he is faithful to His. The Bible says even when we are unfaithful, God remains faithful. Jesus our last Adam was tempted but didn't succumb to the temptation, so we rest confident of our end. Jesus wants his work accomplished on the earth more than we do. This is important for us to know if we think that we are doing God a favour by doing ministry. Or if we think He's not doing enough about the society we live in. We are not the junior Holy Spirit so know your place. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly far above whatever we can think of or imagine, hallelujah. 


Let God be God. Don't think in human terms. Don't think it's your faith moving God, no God already moved, in fact it's His faith in you that is doing the work, your part is to be willing and obedient to be used of Him.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
