TIMELY NOTES!

TIMELY NOTES!

One reason why we fast is so that we can be sure and convinced about God's plan for our lives. I defined fasting as neglecting every other thing and drawing closer to God. And there is no better way to draw closer to God without studying about God. When it comes to fasting, studying is as important as praying. Praying is like breathing, while studying is like eating; if you continue praying without studying, a time will come when you would run out of points. It should not be called "prayer and fasting", but "studying, praying, and fasting".

God wants to bless us, but He often waits till we find the reason why He wants to bless us. The bible says "When thou has found it, there shall be a reward". Do not spend all your fasting time in prayers, engage in rigorous study about what you are praying for. Isaiah 41:21 says "present your case, and bring your strong proof". If your proof is not strong enough, you may not get the blessing, no matter how fervent you pray. I remember how God would often refer me to a book whenever I prayed to Him regarding a matter of interest. There are times that God will prefer to give you knowledge than to give you answers to prayers. Surprisingly, most of the things we pray for are things that knowledge will easily fix.

That's how far we'd go on today's Timely Note. But take these last words; PRAYER CHANGES THINGS, BUT THE PRAYER THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING IS THE ONE THAT IS BACKED UP WITH KNOWLEDGE. Have a most fruitful day, in Jesus precious name!

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

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! 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
