TIMELY NOTES!

Faith in God is all you need to live a victorious life. The bible describes faith as "the victory that overcomes the world". This also means that no matter what is happening in the world, faith will always win. However, both faith and victory are in degrees. It is the level of your faith that will determine the level of victory you would be able to attain.

A certain man had a lunatic child who had been diagnosed with several treatments, but all to no avail. The child was even taken to the disciples of Jesus for deliverance, but it seemed the matter grew worse. The bible records that, sometimes the child will jump into fire, and some other times into water. But when they brought the child to Jesus, he was delivered instantly. When the disciples enquired to know why they could not deliver the child, Jesus told them that their faith was inadequate, and that the kind of faith that will cast out such a demon will require fasting. Do not get me wrong; fasting is not the victory, faith is. But do not expect to drive a trailer with the engine of a car, just as you should not expect to build a house with the same level of faith you used to rent a house. Faith may be the victory, but what generates its power are knowledge, prayer, and fasting.

That's how far we'd go on today's Timely Note. But take these last words; FASTING IS A PERIOD OF TIME WE INTENTIONALLY SET OUT FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING OUR FAITH. WHEN IT COMES TO GROWING YOUR FAITH, FASTING IS NOT AN OPTION. Have a most fruitful weekend, in Jesus precious name!

An hey, don't forget to "like" it. And if you really like it, please 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
