ECHOES OF HIS SPIRIT

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.     Faith plays a significant role in our walk with God and the fulfillment of our destinies. This is so 'cos without faith, God's promises have no solid basis or foundation in our lives. Also, without faith in God, our will can't revolve around God's, and without this, it'll be impossible for our minds to have even a tiny conception of God's eternal glory and His will. Romans 10:17 says "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." And as we know, our mind processes information that comes through our ears. So unless our minds are(being) renewed to the mind of Christ, though the words come in, through our ears, they'll just sound like ordinary words. This is so because the sin nature is blocking the entrance of the words of faith. From this, you see that the result of what comes in through your ears depends on the level to which your mind has

   In my 2nd article, I wrote "your definition of peace shouldn't necessarily be that no trials or harm would come your way, but having an assurance that no matter what comes your way, God will always be there to see you through. I know that at this point in time, living a life filled with peace is not that easy due to the economic crisis, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, increase in  all sorts of crime and other things like that. But as true believers that shouldn't bother us, because God said in Psalm 91, summarizing, that "we will live a long and peaceful life"  so it's up to us to believe it. Living a peaceful life isn't something that's gonna happen automatically when we get born-again, we have to pray for it daily, without ceasing because the evil, being the ruler of this world, constantly has his eyes on true believers because they are a threat to his kingdom. And because the devil knows that...   1John 4:4  ...greater is HE that is

     A friend of mine listed "How to realize the plan of God for your life" on facebook, so I'll just shed some light on them as I list them out. 1.) YOU MUST BE SAVED. >>>>Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have come between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing.   Of course, you should know that as long as you are living a life if sin, you can't have a relationship with God unless you repent. You wouldn't share your secrets with someone you barely have a relationship with, so how do you expect God to tell a sinner about His plans and purpose. DUH!!! 2.) YOU MUST BE FAITHFUL/ STEADFAST IN HIS WORK. >>>>John 15:15  No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.   Only those who are faithfully committed to doing God's work 'cos as you do so, an intimate rela

  Welcome to the 21st century, when most youngsters dream of becoming great movie stars, artists, fashion designers, doctors and others like that, you know na. Some even think it's their God-given destiny to become someone great in this world, I mean to be get in the eyes of the world, instead of in God's eyes. An example is Alberto Del Rio, who thinks it's his destiny to become the world heavy weight champion. SMH for him. When God created you, He did so in His image and likeness as we all know, and also for His pleasures (not the world's) and His perfect will. There are various reasons for different people God created, but all these reasons revolve around one purpose; >>>>>Exodus 9:16  But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.   Till you start living according to God's plan and purpose for your life, you're just existing no matter how wealthy you re. This doesn't mean

Now we're left with 2 eaglets, and as the parable says, one surpassed the other in terms of strength and authority even though they both passed through the training stage... Let's go to the story of Noah and his three sons after the flood. Gen9:21-25 “21 Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.25 Then he said: "Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren."    Noah represents the eagle (which symbolizes our spiritual oversight), "Shem and Japheth and "Ham" represents the 2 eaglets (which symbolizes us). From

The second eaglet is symbolic of those in the church who don't take their relationship with God seriously.  As an eaglet grows it has to pass through some training before it becomes a mature eagle... Even though I've never experienced the sight, I know, from some documentaries I've watched, that when an eagle wants to teach her eaglet how to fly; it carries it to a high altitude and drops it. The eagle doesn't drop it from that height to kill it, but to teach it to fly and this is something it'll struggle to do. From the parable, one of the eaglets grew weak and eventually died, this happened because it didn't go through the process diligently. We all know that we can't perform effectively if we don't train ourselves properly. Our pastors and teacher tell us to pray diligently, read, study and do God's word daily e.t.c. They are not doing that to show-off how spiritual they are or something like that (I can't speak for all though), but because

   There lived an eagle, she laid 4 eggs in her nest (high above the ground), all hatched and emerged as little eaglets. One day, while she was away to get some food for her eaglets, one of the eaglets stood at the tip of the nest and eventually fell to the ground.  Another grew weak and eventually died. The last 2 eaglets grew up and became mature eagles, but one surpassed the other in strength and authority. The mother eagle symbolizes our spiritual father/ oversight, while the nest symbolizes the church.  As the parable says, one of the eaglets fell from the tree while standing at its tip. The eaglet stood at the tip admiring the wonders of the world and its worldly pleasures (covetousness) {remember the devil tried to tempt Jesus like this}. The eaglet got so engulfed in it to the extent that it fell from its nest, luckily it survived the fall. The eaglet should have stayed where it fell so its mother would have taken it back to the nest when it returned, but instead it kept wand
