Unbelief: Diagnosis, Paralysis and Cure

Image
TITLE: The Paralyzing Effect of Unbelief and It’s Cure TOPIC: Unbelief: Diagnosis, Effects & Cure    Introduction: What is UNBELIEF? According to dictionary, unbelief is doubt, withholding of belief, incredulity, and skepticism, disbelief on divine revelation or divine providence or scheme of redemption. Greek word for unbelief is “APISTIA” which is unreasonable, obstinate, rebellious, prejudiced, presumptuous, insolent, stubborn, self-willed, boastful, insensible, hardening and deceitful. Unbelief is the core of paralysis that eventually has an effect not on the power of God to perform wonders but on man’s capacity to experience what God has in stored for him, it is worst than fear because unbelief is as act of rebellion and stubbornness toward the divine manifestation of God and His existence.

What If You Had an Expiration Date?

Image
All food labels must have an expiration date to ensure all customers that what they are buying is safe to eat, some of the labels read “BEST IF USED BY _____”, others were tag as “CONSUME BEFORE _______”. I remember one time when I was craving for an egg sandwich, I have already mixed the ingredients: eggs, mayonnaise, onions, salt, and liver spread. After my hearty meal, I remember going to the comfort room for almost every hour because of diarrhea. It’s a good thing that I have prescribed medicines stored, after praying and taking up the medicine my diarrhea was cured that instant, I checked everything that I ate and the last thing I noticed was the expiration date of the mayonnaise, it expired 2 months ago. I’ve learned a valuable lesson, it is indeed best if used before the expiration date! What if God has labeled us with expiration dates? When will it be? What would you do if you knew your expiration date? How would you allow God to use you or how would you consume your ...

Think About RH Bill...

I am anti abortion and pro-life. Some say that RH Bill is giving option to couples to plan their family well with healthy precautions and means. Like what I have commented on a blog about RH Bill @definitelyfilipino.com, it would definitely affect our nation if families will not consider family planning in a godly way , parents should be responsible for their children's future, their food, clothing, shelter, education, love and affection, some parents failed to provide these important needs to their children that's is why they suffer. Suffering children become the problem in our society; some of them grow up with no sense of value, they ended up thieves, drug addicts, prostitute and later on producing the same result just like them. People need to understand that bigger population will cause bigger problems, so it is important to plan your family well – it is not an abortion or anti-life if a couple plans to have a baby at an early stage of their marriage or in-between ...

2 nd Part Meaning of Christ’s Death ATONEMENT ATONEMENT – coming from the Hebrew words: 1.       “KAPHAR” to cover, purge, make an atonement, make reconciliation, cover over with pitch 2.        “PIEL” – to cover over, pacify, propitiate, atone for sin, make atonement for, atone for sin and persons by legal rites All this is from God,   who reconciled us to Himself through Christ   and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:     that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.   And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 2 nd Corinthians 5:18-19 According to 2 nd Corinthians 5:18-19, we were once enemies of God but because of the work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, He purged us, cover our sins and reconcile us to the Father. Jesus is the bridge to get us to the Father, and He is our only way, there is no way...
