Faith Energy!

A woman has been dealing with health concerns for 12 years. Her name is not provided, but she was identified by her health problems.

Twelve years is a long time. Assume that this problem began when she was 25 years old. That means she is now 37 years old. I'm just trying to explain and demonstrate how serious her problem was to the reader.

Many people could have given up on her; it had been a long journey of 12 years of illness, and she could have faced emotional and mental challenges. She persisted in her search for relief. She sought medical attention and must have sought expert advice. She didn't just wish for healing; she went out and did her part. Why am I saying this? Some people just pray and do nothing. They completely misinterpret Jesus' teachings on "rest" and "no work required."

God did not simply wish for the salvation of the world; he sent us his son. The son did not simply sit idle on earth; he did what was required of him.

Consider the following scenario: I have an exam tomorrow; should I just sit and pray? Should I just pray and sit if I have debts to pay? I pray to God for help with my exams, and then I study and prepare for them. Here, I sought God’s help, and by His grace, I was able to prepare for my exams. Now, how can I fail? My part is to go to work and earn some money, so that whatever my income is, God will bless me and help me clear my debts. Never stop praying or letting God know what you need. Because prayer always inspires action, people who practise it are known as "prayer warriors." Warriors do not sit around; they fight.

After suffering for 12 long years, she heard about Jesus. She may have had a thousand questions or thoughts running through her mind when she heard about Jesus. What do you think she did to win this mental battle? After hearing about him, look what she did! She kept repeating what she had heard about Jesus. That is crucial. I told you she was a warrior. She was on the lookout for an answer. These days, there are sermons everywhere. We all hear, but only a few follow through on these sermons. Most of us, however, believe in the problem rather than the Creator.

At the end of the story, Jesus addresses her as "daughter" (she was previously known by her disease, but now she is referred to as a daughter) and commends her faith. He restored her health and gave her a clean medical report.

You, too, can triumph over long-standing problems. You must do the same as she did. Continue to hear the Word and repeat it to yourself; rather than fighting in the natural realm, fight in the spiritual realm and claim victory in Jesus' name.

•       I demonstrated the magnitude of her problem in the first paragraph of the story.

•       She didn't sit around whining or complaining about her situation. Child of God, “Arise and shine”.

•       She kept repeating what she had heard about Jesus. She eventually met the Saviour, Jesus, in person. Nothing is too challenging for him.


God bless you!

Run for Jesus!

April 20, 2025, Easter Sunday. I woke up at 4:30 AM and, after freshening up, sat in prayer, seeking the Lord's wisdom to preach about His resurrection. God graciously placed this beautiful message on my heart, and I am grateful. “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said!” - Matthew 28:6 Let’s reflect on these powerful words. "Rise" (verb): to move upward, to become higher, stronger, or to increase. "Resurrection" (verb-like noun): refers to an action - physical, mental, or a state of being brought to life. Jesus died and rose again - He came back to life stronger and more powerful. The dead body of Christ was quickened by the Spirit and came back to life. We serve a living God - full of energy, strength, power, and action. That’s why, after the four Gospels, we have the Book of Acts - a book filled with action. We preach the Gospel of a living God. Speaking about Him is a blessing and a privilege. Today’s Theme: “Run for Jesus” When we en...

Rise Early, Pray First!

  “Early to bed and early to rise” - a phrase we all know too well. But let’s be honest: in today’s fast-paced world, early to bed is not always practical. Late-night work schedules, family commitments, and digital distractions often keep us up. However, this month, I want to focus on something we can control - praying first . For the past three months, God has consistently been stirring my heart with one clear message: Prayer . And this month, He reminded me again through this powerful verse: Mark 1:35 (KJV) “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Let us unpack the wisdom in this short but powerful scripture. Jesus Rose Early - So Should We Yes, Jesus is the Creator - He neither slumbers nor sleeps. But when He came in flesh, fully human, He modelled habits to teach and motivate us. And this verse clearly shows one of them: waking up early to pray . He rose a great while before ...

Building with Wisdom!

On June 14th , I went to a prayer meeting at one of my church member’s homes. The prayer request was for a marriage alliance for their daughter. I shared this verse in their home: Proverbs 14:1 (KJV) Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. It is through wisdom that one can build or construct a house. Building a house is not just about the physical structure—it includes nurturing relationships within the family. Anything that is to be built requires wisdom, and we all know that true wisdom comes from God—godly wisdom, not the devil’s cunning or destructive thoughts. This verse presents two opposites: one who builds and one who destroys. The first part of the verse says, “wise woman.” Let us look deeper. The church is the woman who is wisely building the house of the Lord for His second coming. No matter how many hurdles the world and the enemy impose, the church is wisely and quietly doing her work. Hallelujah! Remember: the chu...
