Faith Pleases God
FAITH PLEASES GOD God is looking for faith in people. Again and again in scripture we see how important faith is. We need this active faith in our lives. When God sees active faith, it pleases Him. Hebrews 11:6 You can never please God without faith, without depending on him. Anyone who wants to come…
Because of Our Faith We Are Different
OUR FAITH GETS TESTED This is perhaps the difficult part. Not only does God give us a measure of faith, He then proceeds to allow that faith to be tested. 1 Peter 1:7 These trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure. It is being tested […]

A Measure of Faith
A MEASURE OF FAITH Faith is something that has been placed within us. It is as if God has carefully planted, within each one of us, this deposit of faith. Romans 12:3 God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Somewhere deep within us we have this special quality. This ability to trust…
Active Faith
Faith is something that God has planted within each one of us. Our faith was meant to be active. This means that our faith should be operational. We were never meant to be passive Christians. Faith is a journey that our hearts have to take. Faith is not some strange value. It is something alive…

We was rejected, abandoned, sold into slavery, abused, falsely accused and imprisoned. There he was forgotten. Some […]
The Time To Trust
THE TIME TO REALISE THAT OUR TIME ON EARTH IS SHORT There comes a time when we realize that our time here on earth is a short season. When we are young we think we will live forever. With time we begin to understand that life is short and we will not live, as we […]
Fruitful Throughout Our Lives
FRUITFULNESS AND BEING PRUNED It is clear that the vine also gets pruned. Fruitful vines need to be pruned to stay fruitful. It seems that as we go along we pick up baggage. Perhaps pride or a sense of self-fulfillment. This needs to be constantly removed so that whatever growth or fruit there is, is […]

God Wants To Make Us Fruitful
GOD WANTS TO MAKE US FRUITFUL I like this aspect because it makes it so easy. We do not have to produce our own fruit.It is a natural outflow of being connected to God. Leviticus 26:9 I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep…
