Walking by Faith - Not by Sight

2Cor 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight”

"Don’t get your hopes up!" I am sure you have all heard this before. Have you ever wondered what does this truly mean? For some, it means that life is bound to disappoint. It says, do not aim high because you’re not likely to have the things God promised. It says that we can’t expect good things to happen to God’s people.

We must be careful of thinking this way. This kind of thinking is convicts us to an empty existence. If you think this way with little faith you will never get much out of life. You will continue to get as you always got!

Therefore my beloved, Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become your actions. Watch your actions; they become your habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. Watch your faith; without faith life is hopeless.

Instead why not focus the immense power of God and his promise of everlasting life? Extend your faith and allow yourselves to have faith in the word of God. It is time to make man’s impossibility; God’s possibility. Get your hopes up! Be the person that God would have you to be and never worry about that of which you cannot see; “For we walk by faith, not by sight!” Have a blessed week ! Amen.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

Isaiah 46:3-4 Listen to me...you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you. I found this illustration for Father’s Day. It is the story of Derek Redmond, a star runner in the 1992 Olympics. Derek was competing for the medal in the 400 meter race. Less than half-way through, he ripped a hamstring muscle and fell to the ground in agony. While the rest of the runners moved past him, Derek managed to get to his feet and began struggling to move forward. Then something caught the attention of the television cameras. Jim, his father, ran past security and onto the race track. At first Derek shrugged him away, saying, "I'm going to finish the race." Jim said to his son, "We've started everything together. We'll finish this together." He put his arm around his son and held him as they crossed the finish line together. ...

RUNNING FOR JESUS THIS MORNING

Galatians 2:20 20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Back in Africa, when the sun comes up all the animals are running! It does not matter whether you are the Mightiest of Lions or Weakest of Gazelles, when the sun comes up all the animals are running. For the mightiest of Lions understands that if he does not run faster than the weakest of Gazelles, he may starve and die today. The weakest of Gazelles understands that is he does not run faster that the mightiest of Lions, he will become the Lion’s meal and die today. You see my Brothers and Sisters, when the sun comes up in Africa ALL the animals are running the marathon of life! It is the same way for us as Christians. When the sun comes up we all better be running for Jesus! Doesn’t matter whether you are the Bishop, Pastor, Deacon or Member when the sun comes up this day we should be rejo...
