DON'T SETTLE INTO DOUBTS

-

đź““Romans 14:23
_And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. (KJV)_

We all, sometimes, experience doubt in life. However, some people are sceptical that they need to doubt before they believe. Thomas in the Bible is a good example of such people. When he was told about Jesus's resurrection, he doubted and said, "....except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe....." - John 20:24-29.

Although Thomas doubted, but he didn't stay in his doubt but he allowed Jesus to bring him to belief. Obviously, we can doubt without living a doubting way of life. Doubt can do us good and can also harm us. Doubt does good if it leads to finding answers to questions, and accepts the found answers. But when it obstinates and produces a haughty lifestyle, it harms faith. Sometimes, Satan may tempt us to doubt the true identity of Christ Jesus. He knows that it's far easier to be tricked or deceived when we begin to question whether or not Jesus is God.

Beloved, doubting bring about questioning, and times of questioning can either help strengthen your Faith or harm it. Therefore, when dealing with doubt, be aware that you are extremely vulnerable to temptation. Let your doubt deepen your faith as you continue to search for answers. And as you search for answers, be protected by meditating on the truths of the Word of God. Also, when you experience doubt, don't settle in it, but move on from it to decision and belief. Not all, when you are stagnant in doubt, you can share with other believers in order to find answers.

PRACTICALIZE YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH

đź““1 Peter 2:21 _For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (KJV)_ Christianity is more practical than theological. Knowing about God; studying everything in the Bible doesn't make a Christian. Instead, what makes a Christian is living (practicing) what is studied and known about God through Christ Jesus. Although it is important to study or listen to God's Word, it is more important than one can take a stick at to obey and practice what it says. Therefore, professing to be Christians without godly effect on our behavior and attitude is futile. From our open verse, it obvious that we are called to live as Christ lived. Christ is our ultimate example. We are to walk in His footprints. So, not only by our mouth confessions, we are to practicalize our faith in Christ by giving ourselves to Him as living sacrifices which is holy and acceptable; allowing Him to transform our minds (Romans 12:1-

THE UNCHANGEABLE DEPENDABLE GOD

đź““Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (KJV)_ David said, "the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork" - Psalm 19:1. Despite all the evidences the nature (creation) reveal about God and His supremacy, many people still have shallow knowledge about God and even some don't believe in Him at all. They therefore limit the power of the Lord in situations. They face difficulties and think they are too big for the Lord to handle. However, our thoughts are not the thoughts of the Lord, neither are our ways His ways (Isaiah 55:8). The Lord is greater and bigger than everything and we are to know that. "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and  we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture" - Psalm 100:3. Beloved, the Lord Jesus never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Though we live in a changing world, you can hope and trust the Lor

WHAT COMES TO THE MIND

đź““Romans 12:2 _And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (KJV)_ Always, there are many thoughts that come to our mind that we don't expect. These thoughts come due to mainly what we see and hear. Sometimes, the devil also brings some thoughts to our mind just to tempt us. The mind always receives and works on our senses; what we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. It therefore, begins to work on what is received from any of the senses whether good or evil, but we can set guard over its works. It is said, "you can't prevent the birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from constructing a nest on your head". Likewise, we can't keep or prevent thoughts from coming to our mind but we can decide not to ponder (meditate) on them. Anytime we dwell on evil thoughts, our actions also become evil. Therefore, we need to delete s
