The Condition and Effects of Faith

The Condition and Effects of Faith

"Everything is possible for him who believes"( Mark 9:23) When we place our faith in God, the possibilities open to us are unlimited. Faith is the key that unlocks the resources of heaven for us. Jesus said, " If you have faith... nothing will be impossible for you" ( Matt. 17:20 ) However, faith can not be separated from the will of God. John qualifies this point to us. This is the confidence we have in approaching God., that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears " ( 1 John 5 : 14 ) here John states a condition for asking and receiving. Some promises in the Bible are conditional, that is, they require an appropriate response in us if we are to receive the things He has promised. We must remain in Christ and His word must remain in us, ( John 15:7) We must be obedient ( 1 peter 1:14) and We must live by Spirit ( Galatians 5:16) God bless you. Pastor Mike

AMAZING GRACE

I had just taken our Friends of Jesus Ministries Annual returns to the Government as require by the law of the State. The process took a lot of time for we had many many being served in the office. As you remember this was also one of our days of the Conference we are having here in Kenya. The CCM East Africa Leadership Summit held here in Nairobi Kenya. After going through of what I was doing. I went to the bus stop to aboard a bus of which never showed up on time. I lost a hope of attending and decided to go back home. I went to the other bus stop to look for our bus. "Pastor! pastor!" a man followed me by running where I was. I was shocked and afraid of what might have happened. Oh my God!. " I need your prayers" said the man. "Man have courage your faith has made you through" I told him. I will pray for you! What is this that you want God to do for you? I asked him. I have been struggling and struggling with my life and I have reached to appoint of losing hope in life. "I need a job!!" He said. A crowd of people kept looking at me for it was at the center of the city when everyone was there busy with their things. I prayed to God to give me courage as I prayed for the man. I told him to have faith in Jesus Christ and trust in Him for He is the answer for all what we need. God bless you Pastor Mike http://friendsofjesusministries.blogspot.com/
