..the rescue

I was lost alone in the darkness,
Shadows lurking all around,
Shuddering in the cold of the night,
Just praying i'd be found

It was then that morning broke,
And upon me a new day dawned
There was a little spark of hope
Lord for you my spirit longed


Fed up of being tossed around...
Down that road and across that river..
Lord Jesus please hear my cry
Lead me i pray, to You , Father..

It was You who heard my cry,
It was You who took my hand,
It was You who led me home,
Down into Your promised land..

You're the one who heard my call,
You're the One who set me free,
You're the one who took my hand.
You're the One who rescued me :)

the faith life

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

To live a victorious life, there are things you ought to give full consideration. Faith is not the denial of facts. Faith is acting on God’s Word in spite of contrary circumstances. For instance you may be feeling sick in your body. It is not faith when you say “I am not sick, I am only weak” like some people say, trying to deny the feelings in their body. It is faith when you declare God’s Word which says “By His stripes I was healed!” you refuse to consider or give attention to the pain rather you fix your eyes on Jesus who is the author and perfecter of our faith. Like I said faith is not a denial of facts, it is the refusal to consider those facts and rather consider that which is eternal and unchanging—the Word.

The circumstances of your life may not measure up to God’s Word you have believed and have been confessing. Don’t get worried at all. Do not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief; be strong in faith by giving glory to God! And like Abraham you would obtain the promise. The circumstances of your life are temporary i.e. they are subject to change! Like someone said, “no condition is permanent”.
The Word of God abides forever and that is the true source of Faith for the believer.
Believe and confess God’s Word in spite of contrary winds and you would be sure glad you did.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
