...will He really find faith on the earth?

"I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8 NKJV

One of the most timely questions asked by The Lord as it relates to The Lords return. A profound question asked by Jesus himself! Will He really find faith on earth? Many nowadays are proclaiming to believe in Jesus, but will He really find faith when He returns? There's a verse in scripture that says that even demons believe and tremble, so a superficial belief that Jesus "existed" does not cut it as the meaning of true faith. These verses should serve as sobering elements for believers these days. Every believer should be doing his /her own spiritual inventory to see if we are truly living in faith. Look at what faith is according to Hebrews 11:1, the NIV says "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Let's see again The Lord's question under the light of what faith is according to Hebrews 11:1.
(1) What is the hope that we're so sure of? (2) and how certain are we of what we don't see? (3) who don't we see? The first is Jesus' return, The believer has to be living with the 100% sure hope that Jesus Christ is returning, and show that hope living our lives as if He can return at any moment. Secondly we have to be certain, beyond the shadow of a doubt of what we don't see. For the sake of our Lord's question let's say (of WHO we cannot see) and who is this? The Holy Spirit! our eternal companion who is not only with us but in us, Halleluyah! We as believers have to be living our lives daily with the certainty that the Holy Spirit is right there with us, otherwise we will not, I repeat WILL NOT be able to walk in holiness. It is the knowledge of knowing that He is there with us that feeds the fear of The Lord in us and helps us to maintain the type of faith that The Lord wants to find in us when He returns. So the question can read "...will He really find (people with the pure hope of Jesus' return and the certainty of Him who we cannot see, The Holy Spirit) on the earth?
Let's meditate in the word, our redemption has never been closer.

Be Not conformed...

It seems like the majority always wins. At least that's how it is in man's society, with terms like the majority vote, “All those in favor say . . . ,” and other phrases that clearly indicate the losing battle of anyone who opposes the “popular opinion”; but tell you what, the Lord did not call us to be “popular.” He called us to be holy. God's kingdom does not function the way this earthly one does. With God, it is not the majority vote that wins. It is not the “popular opinion” that triumphs but rather those that through faith in Jesus Christ stand firm in obedience to God's Word. While it might be popular and convenient for some to go with the flow of the majority of this world's opinion, for us, it is dangerous and deadly to do so. The Word of God instructs us in Romans 12:2 to not be conformed, molded, shaped by this world (system) but rather that we ought to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. I am so, so grateful that the Lord has and is still renewing my mind through His Holy Spirit and His Word. I am convinced that the Word of God is alive and has an incredible transforming power.

God's Blessings are Yes and Amen!

Peace to all in the name of Jesus! just want to glorify The Lord at this moment and declare how faithful He is. A couple of years ago The Lord gave me a word in prayer and I wrote it down. He told me "it will not go past March". I was very excited to hear this from Him. My wife and I have a wonderful son his name is Samuel. We have been praying to The Lord to grant us the blessing to conceive once more. My son is now 7 years old, so as you can see we have been waiting for some time now. Back to what The Lord told me, March came and my wife did not conceive. Next March came and we did not conceive, however I was delivered from things in my life that had kept me bound for some time (Glory to God!!) March came again and nothing. But then guess what, March came again, and oh boy this March was it and my wife and I are now expecting our second child, Praise Jesus!! We are so blessed by his awesome mercies, and words are definitely not enough. So I pray that you rejoice with us as we expectantly celebrate the birth of our child. Blessings to all in Jesus name, AMEN!

Believers Wake Up!!

Dear viewers and brothers and sisters, it is with a sense of great urgency that I write in this blog the following words. Our redemption has never been more near than it is today. The condition of life all around us, the breakdown of all moral values and the falling away of the church are but a few of the markers that reveal without any doubt how close our Lord Jesus is to his second coming. This site will feature words of encouragement and exhortations to help us all to walk more holy lives, lives that truly please The Lord and not just simply appear to do so. The Bible clearly says in John 4:23
"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him." Beloved there is much junk circulating out there even in some churches we must be alert as believers and be sober! For good reason The Lord also says to us in his mighty word in Colossians 2:8 "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ." Be encouraged and be brave, stand up for Christ where ever you go and remember: Hebrews 12:14
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:

May The Lord Richly bless as you persevere in true faith.
