Faith is the Currency of Heaven

" God will not ask you to do the impossible , He will only ask you to do the ridiculous ." That was the conclusion of the Sunday Sermon. It got me stirred up about faith and the importance of Faith .Clearly, faith is about taking that step to do the ridiculous .

Faith is that gut that is inspired by the Holy Spirit . That is how you know the difference between Faith and mere instincts , or foolishness if I may add . I bet you have heard tales of people who started with the mustard faith and are now reaping the reward in a bounty harvest . It did not make sense then , if you have a close up ...You will even find that they were mocked and jeered .

If you read Hebrews 11, Its a narration of the patriarchs and how faith brought them to the hall of fame . Faith will take you where even the Creme de la Creme of the world haven't been to. The world is always at a standstill until someone takes a leap of Faith and ventures into the unknown .

Abraham was a man of crazy FAITH , Who takes his Only son to offer as sacrifice to the Lord ?The world would probably have booked Abraham into those psychiatric rooms and examine his mental state . But guess what, he was FINE .

You see , Faith is not logical , You cannot subject Faith to any form of theory or explanation , its not practical . It looks , sounds and even perceived as a crazy thing at the time. No wonder Jesus said that if we could have the faith of a mustard see, we could Move Mountains.

Faith is an expression of LOVE . How so ? You cannot step out into the known without knowing the love of God . Trust me , it is the fuel of your faith the assurance that you are safe and have God by your side . Galatians 5:6. How about the water walking faith ? Read Matt 14 :29

Have faith and venture into the unknown , Faith is the currency of Heaven , Fear is the currency that operates in hell. Choose wisely what currency pays for your stay on earth . XOXO

Why the Devil wants You for Dessert ! - On the Menu

Let’s agree to disagree, this year has a point to prove, it’s in a rush. It’s on the run to somewhere; it has to be there by December. I am not sure whether I am the one experiencing this, but Sunday is such a throw stone away from Monday nowadays. It feels like yesterday I was huffing and puffing trying to get my resolutions together, it’s now July . Anyway I am buckling up and keeping up with the speed levels of 2018. 2018, if you can hear me, I am breaking sweat as well, we shall revisit and settle in December. .................... I love Nigerians, it’s not their Jollof rice or their incredible sense of art, and it’s their oomph! , I have a thing for their vigour. I find them so boisterous in their confession especially. You can tell when Jesus said, the kingdom suffers violence and the violent shall take it by force, that was for them. I have limited knowledge about them but I have managed to gather a few traits here and...

Consider an Oak Tree

I like to think of myself as a patient yet inpatient person, ( a paradox right?). I am patient towards others yet treat myself with some level of impatience. Self imposed timelines for myself are what I would consider the yeast to my rising dough. Something I am unlearning as I grow older. But what stretched this for me is that the older we grow, the more we are inclined to look, feel and be seen to be productive, proactive, securing whatever the bag is. That is why even on social media, it is those that have “results of the day” or what corporate lingo may call “KPI’s” that seem to ammerse a following. Let’s consider this verse. Isaiah 61:3 They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. Now let’s consider an Oak - “ Oak trees generally take several decades to reach maturity, with most species taking around 30-40 yea...

Loving Right and Staying Tight

It’s February, Finally!! Yeey! And after the intense Part A and B of January we could use some LOVE. I wrote this post like 5 days ago but I wasn’t particularly sure this was what I want to write on. Anyways, as I was delaying on this matter we had a small ladies random discussion and fellowship with my girls about single-hood, engagements and marriages. That served as my confirmation that surely the Lord had placed this in my heart for a reason. Let’s admit, your timeline is full of everyone getting engaged, and it looks like they met yesterday and you have no choice but to like and type (Aaaaw # goals # Godspeed ), Yes ? . Don’t get me wrong, we are happy for them and wish them all the best, but like everyone else we too, long for our turn when the piece of Pie gets over to us. Can we have a heart to heart? P.s the post is longer than usual ...Mapenzi Overdrive :)
