There are many spiritual laws in operation. You do well to know what some of them are. 1. Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus,  Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 2. Law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3. Law of works. Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Romans 3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 4. Law of Faith. Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Romans 3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 5. Royal law of love. What you want to be don...

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Yesterday we learnt that faith is a law and it is predictable. Secondly it can be understood. Understanding it helps one to operate with it easily on a daily basis.  In today's blog we shall learn that some laws are greater than others and can supersede other laws for instance the law of lift once in operation can supersede the law of gravity. But that doesn't mean that gravity ceases to exist, it's still there. Gravity can only overcome lift and pull a plane or a bird down if there is a problem with the plane or a bird with its flying abilities which is enabling it to be in the air. Likewise we can also deduce that as long as a Christian keeps in the Word which is the word of faith, there are things which will never be an issue to them but once they cross some lines, they should expect a serious fall and problems since they are out of faith. I don't know if you...

Romans 3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith Faith is a spiritual force produced in a believer, released by words, and backed with corresponding actions. Faith is a law. Any law you ever know of is something that's predictable. If it's not predictable then it's was a mere phenomenon or an event but not universal in scope. Because it's universal, it means it can apply to all equally without segregation. There's no unfairness regarding its operation.  By a law being predictable it means when it's put to work, it will work the same way all the time. If it does not work, then there's something hindering it from happening. Gravity for example is also a law. It is the force that pulls objects towards each other. Understanding its workings makes life easy for you. The current aircrafts came about because men had started understanding the laws of Physics. Advances in the industry can only happen by more re...

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Faith and its use should normal or like second nature to every believer. Think of it like learning a new skill such as driving. The first time one drives, they have to juggle many things at the same time. It's sometimes feels like they are not in control since it's a fresh experience and any mistake can cost their life. But once they learn the art of driving, they can even talk to a person on phone, engage in a deep conversation with other people in the car, listen to something on the radio etc.  We need to normalise the use of faith too because of its great importance. Faith when used well can mean life and death. When there's no solution in the natural, that is when you will realise that faith is important. For instance when no doctor can heal you, that should not be the time to get a hold of sermons, scriptures but it should be a time to release your faith. ...

Matthew 5:23-24 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Faith is likened to electricity. Electricity goes through conductors. It meets resistance when it meets a non conductor. The conductor through which faith goes through easily is love. Expect resistance and hindrance when there's no love or unforgiveness.  Another major hindrance to faith is a lack of knowledge that you are a new creature. Many Christians don't know what really happened to them after being born again. Since no one bothered to explain to them, they operate carnally yet they should operate as faith beings. The day you got saved the fruit of faith, love, peace, joy etc were wrought in the inside of you, your spirit being. The same faith that brought this world into existence is in you. The same peace, love, joy that i...

Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. The fifth faith fundamental is, faith won't work in an unforgiving heart or faith works by love. Unforgiveness or a loveless life is the main hindrance to walking by faith. Where there is no love, don't expect any faith and where there's no faith, don't expect any grace.  Forgiveness is so key in that God cannot accept one's gift unless they first go and reconcile with their brother who has wronged them. Many people fall sick and they never know why the sickness persists for a long time. They even go to the doctor but the doctor cannot see anything. Such need to check their love life. There may be unforgiveness or strife in play.  As much as is in your power, walk in peace, love, and avoid strife as much as possible so that your faith and prayers are not hindered.  Further scriptures   Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses...

James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Fourth faith fundamental is to act on your faith. From our theme scripture, we can conclude that if you never work on your faith, then it has never existed in the first place. It's only a wish. For example if you say you are the healed of the Lord, then act on it. Walk out of that bed and exercise the part that is troubling you. If you believe you have the power to make wealth, then go find a Job or start a business. But if you stay in bed all day "waiting" for a chance to get you, you will wait forever. If you want a wedding, better draft a budget, find out what it takes to have one, go attend other people's weddings to get some lessons you will implement in your wedding.  In short you cannot afford to do nothing concerning the promises that God gave you in His Word. One mistake some do is attempting to do things in their own strength without first getting a Word regarding that promise. That...

I walk and live by the word of faith, I hear God's word, I believe it, it's true, I don't doubt it, its my life, it's by it that I live, move and have my being. God’s Word is my firm foundation. When I wake up, it's the word I think of, When I lie down, it's the word I think about. I act on the Word day and night. God's word is alive in me. It comes to pass in my life.

Romans 10:8-10 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Confession is possession  The third faith fundamental is you have to say the Word or confess it with your mouth. No confession, no possession. Do not say what you do not believe because it will come to pass and you will fall into regrets.  Confession is so important in because the very salvation you enjoy now was received by confessing the word of faith. The world was created by God speaking it forth into existence. Since we are in His nature, we take on the same characteristics. There's power in speaking the word in faith. Words were not only made for communication but for releasing ...

Romans 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  Faith is an important aspect of the Christian faith. In fact its the word we preach that brings men to salvation. If there's a subject any believer should be strong and established in, it is faith.  When you see an athlete compete at the world stage competition, what do you think got that athlete to that stage? It must be a number of things. They may actually do the same things like those who never reached that stage. However they may have had to work at their game or sport all day and all night. Studying it, thinking it, planning about it, sleep over it etc. They take time to watch videos of the opponents and Studying their tactics. They also watch their own games to discover where they would have been better and improve next time. I had heard that some sportsmen play video games of the very games they play! Since they are big names, they can choose characters in a team with themselves included! ...

Luke 8:50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. The second fundamental of faith after hearing God's word is, "believe it in your heart and do not doubt it."  The world's way is not of faith, for it does not believe unless it has seen evidence or facts. This is the norm in courts of law, science laboratories, workplaces, etc. Some have even gone ahead to prove Bible facts with archaeological evidence or by going to the places where these things happened. It is hard for someone to believe that you went to school unless you show them evidence in the form of school certificates; that you know a certain skill unless you demonstrate it; that some truth is true unless you present evidence of it. Even before someone enters marriage, if you say that you love someone, take an oath before many witnesses, and sign against it lest you change your mind the next day! This is okay in the natural but not in the supernatu...

2 Corinthians 8:1-5 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond [their] power [they were] willing of themselves; Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. Paul had good things to say about the church of the Macedonia. Among those were that they were very generous. But what characteristics did that church have that we the present church should learn from or get established in if we are already doing the same. Firstly, they had a good response to relief, Acts 11:29. A famine had happened in Jerusalem and they were mobilised to send relief there. If you...

2 Samuel 6:13 And it was [so], that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings. Giver type 27; The extravagant giver or high capacity givers. Gives over and above the normal amount. David, Solomon and the Macedonians were good examples of this Giver type 28; The first-time giver. Someone newly inspired to share their resources, often moved by a specific vision or message.   Giver type 29; The Intentional giver. These are likened to a thoughtful giver who carefully evaluates their budget to ensure their financial priorities reflect their faith. Giver type 30; The surrendered giver. A person who is no longer attached to specific amounts or percentages; they joyfully hold nothing back from God and stretch their generosity to the max. Giver type 31; The legacy giver. Someone who thinks long-term about the impact of their lifetime and estate resources, leaving a lasting, multi-generational kingdom impact. Further scriptures   1 Kings...

Mark 12:41-44 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living. Giver type 21; The big little givers like the widow who gave all her living in Mark 12:41-44. This seems to be like a paradox. How can one give big yet little? On paper, although they give amounts which appear smaller than the rest, in the eyes of God they are actually giving more than the rest. This teaches us that God doesn't look at what is given but what is left after giving. What percentage of your earnings are you giving or not? Your 1% given may be higher...

Philippians 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. Yesterday our types of givers list stopped on giver type 15. Giver type 16; Scented or perfumed givers, as shown in Philippians 4:18.  Giver type 17; Genuine or unpretentious givers, e.g Dorcas or Tabitha, Acts 9:39-40 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. Giver type 18; Self inspired or self driven or voluntary givers like Zaccheaus in Luke 19:1-9. When Jesus visited Zaccheaus' house, he without any instruction from anyone gave freely to the...

2 Samuel 24:24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy [it] of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. Last week we stopped at giver type six. Giver type seven: Limelight givers: They give primarily to look good to leadership. They seek the praise of others. They can also be referred to public relations givers. The Pharisees were known for this. They would give alms in full view of everyone so that they receive praise of men which is the reward they could get and not God's reward. Giver type Eight. Regular Givers: They give on a regular, planned basis. They support the church vision faithfully. They automate their giving so that they don't miss out on giving. They can also be called consistent givers. Giver type Nine; Separated givers: They give beyond their normal capacity. They prioritize God's work over per...

Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. There are different types of givers among us. We give differently. You may wonder where you fall but you definitely fall somewhere. I have tried to compile the different giver types from various online sources and these are some of my findings. First type of givers are conservative givers. They limit their giving to information they have receive via church announcements. They are normally slow at adjusting to modern ways of giving for example via Church lines or merchant codes and instead prefer to  envelopes and cash only. The good side to them is that they have high levels of trust. Second type of givers are emotion led givers. They are reactionary, seasonal givers. Their giving fluctuates with emotional appeals. When they are moved by compassion to help someone in need, that is when they act. They are also big givers when someone challenges them to give after a powerful sermon o...

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.   Yesterday we got to learn that there are eight degrees of giving charity. The first and highest according Moses Maimonides is empowerment giving.  Giving degree II: Anonymous Giving. Here the giver gives to a public fund, and the recipient receives help without either party ever knowing the other's identity. Moses Maimomides noted that this kind of giving is the second highest among the ranks of giving. Public funds màh  Giving degree III: Secret Giver: The donor knows the recipient, but the recipient does not know the identity of the person helping them. Giving degree IV: Secret Receiver. The recipient knows who the donor is, but the donor remains unaware of who is receiving their help. Giving degree V: Proactive Giving. Giving directly to a per...

Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. The perspective of the Jews differs from most people when it comes to giving charity or aid. Tzedakah, from the Word Zedek is a Hebrew word meaning justice or righteousness. Jews view charity as an obligation rooted in social justice. Others non Jews give out of love or pity for their fellow man.  But what do you always mean when you say that you are giving help to a needy person? What is your first instinct when someone requests money from you? In which ways do you help them and to what degree do you help them? Many years ago a Jewish scholar and philosopher named Moses Maimonides in the 12th century categorised charitable giving in eight stages or degrees. Chariatble degree 1: Empowerment giving which according to Moses Maimonides is the highest form of giving. This includes providing someone a means to earn money and become self reliant like connecting  ...

Deuteronomy 24:19-21 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean [it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. We talk about giving but what do groups like the Jews Believe about Giving? We know they are a blessed group of people. If you didn't know how blessed they are, look up the statistics. 9% of Jews have been past winners of the Nobel peace prize, and have 25-35% representation on the Forbes richest people in the world year in year out. Most of the tech inventions you know of, biggest companies in the world etc...
