Trust God

Proverbs 3:5-10 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

How do you get to a point of trusting a friend? This cannot be a one-off but it comes through a consistent set of things you do together. One of those areas that binds relations are the areas of finances, giving and receiving from eachother. 

Man for some reason is attached to their money perhaps because it takes effort to make it. It becomes a treasure by default to him or her. Secondly man has placed a certain value for money unlike other things. Society collectively places value in certain things and on other things it does not. As for money,  everyone respects that paper because through it you can exchange it for something you need. The other things people value are one's own children. It's possible to have many children whom you take care of but in one way or another the fact that they are not your biological children, they don't cause you to worry so much like when your child is among them.

Why am I saying all this? We need to examine our levels of trusting God and giving to Him some potion of the very things we love and value, money. Many believers like the term is believe God but trusting Him is somewhat hard with a tithe, giving, offerings, firstfruits etc. Some after earning find it hard to give to God because they feel even the one they have is not enough, so giving a part of it does not make sense at all to them. But if they trust God to give back to them more than they have given to Him, giving cannot be a problem. Inside them they restrain because they fear that God won't come through for them when they give to Him. 

How are your levels of trust to God. It's the beginning point of all good stewardship with money.

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....
