'Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed'  (James 1:6).

Christ says, "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them" ( Mark 11:24).
We see here that prayer and faith goes together. You can't truly have one without the other. The things we ask God for must be what He has promised, and whatever we receive must be used in doing His will. God wants us to come to Him convinced both that He is the one true source of wisdom, and that the wisdom He gives us is trustworthy. He wants us to be ready to act upon faith. James said, the person who doubts God's wisdom, is like a wave in the wind storm being tossed every way. So anyone who comes to God with unsettled convictions and hopes, is liable to be driven about by every new feeling that may spring up in his mind. When you lack confidence in God's faithfulness you'll manifest a lack of consistency in your life. When we ask in faith we must believe that God hears our prayers; if we doubt it leads to unbelief.  Forms of unbelief includes, complaining about our circumstances,  blaming others, questioning God - power and ability; or trying to punish God because He didn't respond in the way we had requested - our contributions and prayers. We need to have confidence in God, to believe without a doubt that He will do as He has promised. If you seek wisdom ask with confidence,  that the Almighty God, the Creator of all that there is, has promised to give you wisdom. If our faith is as small as a mustard seed, we can remove mountains. Today, make your prayer life counts. Prayer with faith are powerful tools, so use them. God bids you come apart and commune with Him. Be still and know that He is God. Surrender your whole life to God as you put your trust in Him.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
