Sunday Mornings

And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him. Luke 22:43 It is that time of the year where we collectively reflect over the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Our anchor text for today's study is timed just before the arrest and trials of Jesus. May God grant us insight as we glean at His feet together. Amen. Can two work together except they agree? Amos 3:3 In Jesus' agony in the garden of Gethsemane, we see something that we can all relate with. There always comes that point in a believer's walk with God that there is a conflict of interest. God would be leading you in one direction, but you would rather prefer some other method or direction. Jonah once went on this path, and when he was in the belly of the fish, this is what he had to say Those who regard and follow worthless idols turn away from their living source of mercy and loving-kindness. Jonah 2:8 it was in the light of this fundamental truth that even though Jesus would have preferred ...

  Many times when we read about the heroes of faith, we fail to realise that they were men like us. Trusting God was not any less difficult than it is for us today. If we were to read their diaries, what would we learn from their journey to the hall of faith? Let's have a peek at David's diary today as God grants us insight. Amen. Months had passed since the Prophet Samuel visited my father’s house to anoint me as King over Israel. As I sat meditating over the events of that fateful day, a lot of questions were looming round my head: why me? (I was an insignificant member of the family. A family sacrifice could have successfully happened without me; a king could have been anointed in the family while I was away in the fields because my presence was insignificant) A King? Even if it were to be so, how could a king be anointed when there was already a king? And why was I not on the throne yet? Few weeks after Samuel’s visit, King Saul sent for me to join his royal service. Was ...

 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Romans 10;17 Last week, we established the fact that Faith is every believer's spiritual breath for survival. It entails trusting God even when the situation says otherwise. We need faith to please God. This therefore tells us how important it is for us to build our faith.    And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6 Today, we will be looking at one of the ways through which we can build our faith. The WORD of God. The beginning, progress, and strength of faith is by hearing. But it is only hearing the Word, as the word of God that will strengthen faith. It takes genuine labor in the word of God to have our faith grow.  One thing we have to understand is that faith has unlimited capacity for growth. In many places in the Bible, we see where various measures of faith were ...
