PLANTS ALSO LIVE BY FAITH!

Believers are not different from plants. The bible says the just shall live by faith, but guess what? Plants also live by faith.

Jesus acknowledged the faith of a plant in Luke 12:28 when He said "if God clothes the grass, which may be in the field today and burnt tomorrow, won't He be more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have!". In other words, plants have better faith than we do.

He continued by saying "so don't be upset, always concerned about what you will eat and drink, because your Father knows that you need these things. Instead, be concerned with His kingdom, and He will provide you with these things". That is probably how plants operate, they are just concerned with the kingdom, beautifying the whole earth, and God takes care of them for that.

Many people are deviating from the main course. It's not about us, but about the kingdom. It should not be "us" first, but "the kingdom" first.

Alright, how do I live by faith?

Faith primarily comes by hearing and understanding the word of God. In Job 14:7-9, the Bible tells us how the plant finds faith to live on; it says "there is hope for a tree that has been cut down; it can come back to life and sprout. Even though its root grow old, and its stump dies in the ground, with water it will sprout like a young plant". That's it!

What water is to a plant is what the word of God is to a believer. As a matter of scriptures, Ephesians 5:26 literally compared water to the word of God. You have successfully developed the faith of a plant when every thing about your life is rooted in God's word.

What more? In Isaiah 61:3, Jesus referred to us as "trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord". He further said that "we would make new the old waste places". That's how plants operate, they have a way of beautifying desolate places.

Let me conclude with this; let's live like plants, because we are really not different from them. May God give us understanding!

God bless you, I love you, and don't forget to share!

TIMELY NOTES!

TIMELY NOTES! Having faith without a connectivity to the Author of faith is a waste of time. Faith may please God, but love creates a link between the one who has faith in God and God Himself. The bibles says "faith is the substance of things hoped for"; that could also mean that faith dwells on material things. But God is love; having true love in your heart is simply having God in your heart. This makes it impossible for your faith to please God without love for Him in your heart. Being filled with the word of faith doesn't mean you're filled with love for God. Love for God is something you must consciously decide to build. Trying to build a relationship with God is closely related to how a man tries to get a woman to like him. When a man wins a woman's heart, he can believe her for anything that is in her capacity to do - which she would do without fail. The bible talks about a set of people that God will answer even before they pray; and while they're

TIMELY NOTES!

TIMELY NOTES! The life and acts of Jesus on earth was a fulfilment of prophecy. Prophecies are the direct words of God spoken through the mouth of His prophets. For instance, God told Ezekiel to speak to the bones, and when he did, the bones heard. God told Abraham that Israel will suffer for 400 years in Egypt, and it was so. In Matthew chapter 21, Jesus sent two of His disciples to a village to bring a donkey - which He'd use for a majestic entrance into Jerusalem. And verse 4 said "All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet... " Great prophecies had gone ahead of Jesus, but He didn't wait for them to come to pass, rather, He made them come to pass. The prophecy stated that "Jesus would come, sitting upon a donkey", but it didn't tell Jesus how and where to get the donkey. A prophecy will remain dormant until you've played your part. Imagine for a moment, what if Jesus didn't make a move to get the donkey,

TIMELY NOTES! Fasting increases the depth of our thirst. People who live by chance may never see reasons to fast. Even though the happenings around them affects them, they just feel too lazy to take responsibility. I have vowed that in this year 2017, I will not let my life end with a story that will not give God glory, I will take responsibility and recreate the happenings around my life by the word of God. I have discovered that many people do not face the challenges ahead until their challenges reaches their neck. Heart attack is not actually what the medical practitioners call it, it is what happens when your challenges begins to cease your breath. Haven't you heard people say things like "I need breathing space"? Stop compiling your challenges, hoping that they would go on their own. If they would go on their own then they would not be in 2017 with you. From experience, I have discovered that challenges that go on their own do not require prayers, and the ones th
