A faith that would make you jump off a building

One Pastor said, don't throw away your common sense. I say, indeed it is a faculty that God has given to man and we should put it to good use. God has given us sound mind and so no Christian would jump off a building thinking that the angels of God would catch him.

But born again Christians are branded as being crazy about Jesus and true enough we are. We have come to a relationship with God that our faith has become alien to the world. We believe it when the bible says with God, all things are possible. Does that include jumping off the building? Technically yes! Jesus walked on water and he ascended to heaven defying all the laws of gravity. Phillip was taken by the Spirit and was found in another city. Moses parted the red sea, Elijah called fire to fall from the sky. Kuya Vic suffered a car crash, lost his kidneys to alcohol and yet he is still alive only to find that the Lord had planned for him in the ministry. And just take a look at the ministry of Pastor Chris! 

Unless our faith is the type that can make us jump off a building, we will never see the excellencies of God. But that does not necessarily mean that one has to jump off a building. What I'm saying is that, there is a force greater than the gravitational pull of the planets, and unless we are willing to unlearn certain norms, we will never see the glory of God.

How do you know?

I asked: How do you know that when you die you will be with Jesus? Somebody said: 1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And WHAT are these who believe... 1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God... And what shall become of those who believe... Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. I said: Yes, sure the Bible tells us that, and our Pastors tell us that. But how are you so sure that indeed you have eternal life? And again he says: Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED. This is the glorious future of those whom the Father foreknew. Again I s...

Between God and the Politician

Often we hear during election time of Politicians platform of government and promised infrastructure projects should they be elected in office. But all those talk and speeches just go back to the filing cabinets once elections are through and kept hid until the next elections. So between God and the Politician is a great chasm, a great divide between truth and lies because Man's words are often empty, but the Word of God is never empty. Not because Man wants to lie but because he is not capable of keeping his every word. God on the other hand is able. God said: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts (Mal 4:2-3). Those words are not empty. Surely they come to pass to them which receives them. And God has declared it that ...

Working Out Salvation

Php 2:12-15 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;  Just to remove the misconstruction here, ‘work out’ is not synonymous with ‘work for’. The former means to develop while the latter means to earn. Salvation is not earned. It is freely given of God. He made it that way so that no one can boast. But salvation needs to be developed so that we may reap its fruits. Christians struggle with their faith because after that they have received the Lord Jesus they still face the same problems, the same struggles, the same circumstances even long after that they be...
