KEEP YOUR VISION FOCUSED!

Title: Keep your vision focused!
Scripture: "But when he saw the strong wind he became afraid. And starting to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"" - Matthew 14:30

 When Peter lost focus of Jesus, and began to look at the strong wind and how powerful the waves were, his faith weakened and he no longer stood above the situation. He was now sinking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very good symbolism of what happens to many Christians. They begin they're Christian life, stable and focused on the target; the centre: Jesus. But, as soon as they notice how impossible the situation is or may be, or how they may not get through it, Satan doesn't wait - not even for a split second. Then, you let yourself into his trap because you lost focus. Focusing on Jesus means everything...and He is the Unchangeable Changer, the one who can fix those issues! It's a test of faith, patience and focus. Very soon, as you remain focused, those trials will start to disappear, and the waves will start to recede, and be still. The focus is Jesus, seek him first and all shall be added unto you. Many wonder, I have faith; but nothing is working.

Look, do you really think God can help me? I mean, last time it didn't work out! 

No! Satan won't waste a second in overpowering you. 

It is you who gives Satan the power, by the thoughts of you heart and your words. Be careful; and keep your vision focused!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...

Acting on God's Word....

"Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. practice it and do what it says." - James 1:22 Today I wanted to talk to you about the Bible's power. Many atheists and other non-Christians believe that the Bible is not true, but THEY haven't meditated on the Word that they heard from Church, study etc. Let's take a look at what Jesus said: " They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.   49  But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.'" Any questions? OK. But HOW do I 'practice and do' what God's Word says?  You make sure that whatever it says, has effect on your life. What I mean to say is, make sur...

Pondering the Bible: How to deal with anger

"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires." James 1:20 NLT http://bible.com/116/jas.1.20.nlt Let’s admit it, we all deal with anger sometimes. But some more than most. When we do get angry, we get this overwhelming sense of bitterness and malice that is sometimes uncontrollable. This brings us to today’s question: How do you deal with anger?  Well, satan will always keep on trying to do things to make you angry. And as soon as you give in and never let it go, you have failed and satan can hold you back.  Here’s how to deal with it:  The Bible says that when you are angry you should not let it carry over to the next morning.  "And "don’t sin by letting anger control you." Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry," Ephesians 4:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.4.26.nlt This means you may only be angry for some time. But I wouldn’t for long:  "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be...
