Walking By Faith

" Truth is what is in harmony with the nature and will of God" --Nelson's NKJV Study Bible "...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power...put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil...stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth..." [Ephesians 6:10-14]. A couple of months ago, I wrote something concerning the Shield of Faith that we as Christians need if we are going to be successful at waging war on the Kingdom of darkness. (check out: http://ndidiwozichi.blogspot.com/2010/11/waging-war-shield-of-faith.html for that encouragement). I want to continue in this vein by talking about the Belt of Truth, a very important point of discourse, especially in this day and age. So...Truth. What is truth? Pilate asked this question when Jesus declared, "'...for this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who...

As Christians, we go through a lot of trials, tribulations and circumstances, some of which require a divine miracle to get out from. You wonder why in the world God is taking a long time to bring you out of the dilemma you find yourself in. You pray, you believe, you step out on faith, doing all you can, all to no avail. And then you come to a place of realization...there is absolutely nothing you can do to get through this hurdle. It seems like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. You wonder why God would take you through this route instead of the easiest route to your promised land. I, too, have found myself in such a place, believing for so many years concerning a situation I just can't seem to get out from. I've done all I can; I've exhausted all ideas. So, I decided to quit while I was ahead. I decided that maybe what I am believing for is not God's will for me...then I realized that quitting was not an option. God had brought me to a p...

A few days ago, I began thinking of my year so far and remembered what my pastor declared over us, an Ephesians 3:20 year, "...exceedingly abundantly far and above anything I can ever ask, think, or imagine", and my thought went something like this, "Yeah right! Eph 3:20...haven't seen that! In fact, all I've seen are bad experiences, mistakes, pain, and unfulfilled dreams." . Before I had time to meditate on this negative thought, I was reminded of Romans 8:28, which declares that "all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose." (AMP). It is tempting to view the things that happen to us as bad experiences, but consider that what you think is a bad experience may actually be a blessing in disguise. As those who have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, the things we experience are not independent of each other, meaning that if t...

When you hear the word “Time” what do you think of? How does one even begin to define that word? The dictionary has several definitions of the word “time” but the one that caught my attention is the one that defines it as: “ the continuous passage of existence in which events pass from a state of potentiality in the future, through the present, to a state of finality in the past ” [World English Dictionary]. Now, that definition seems a bit vague and somewhat confusing but it’s simply defining time as the passage of life and life events. In Genesis, God makes a covenant with Creation after the flood and says, “While the earth remain, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night shall not cease.” [Gen 8:22, NKJV, emphasis mine]. Now, if we put a comma (,) between the word ‘seedtime’, we come up with ‘seed’, ‘time’ and thus, Seedtime and harvest becomes  Seed, time and harvest . Now, we all know that w...

So, a couple of my friends and I were having lunch and the conversation turned to a discussion about the majesty of God. Oftentimes, when we read the Bible, or hear sermons, we hear or read things like, “the God of all creation”, or “the all-powerful God”. Maybe it’s just me but sometimes, when I hear or read these words, they don’t mean much to me. I mean, yes, I know God is an all-powerful, omnipotent, omniscient, ever-loving God but do I really know ? I believe sometimes, these words are hard for us to grasp because we don’t fully understand what those words mean or we haven’t really had an experience of The God of all creation, the all-Powerful God. For example, because of my limited understanding and experience of creation as a whole, I cannot fully grasp that statement: “the God of all creation”. I mean, what does that really mean? This prompted me to do an investigation of sorts about the universe. After the little bit of investigation I did, all I could day was WO...

F aith: the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]—-Hebrews 11:1 [AMP] So…faith? What is it all about? Do you have faith? Faith is something every one possesses. For example, getting in an airplane requires faith in the pilot and the plane, trusting that both will do their job in bringing you safely to your destination. Driving is an act of faith by itself…it requires faith in your abilities as a driver and the drivers around you. The question is not whether one has faith or not…the real question is where or who one places that faith (in). Faith in faith alone will disappoint…but faith in the unchanging, ever-present, All-Powerful God will never disappoint. In this day and age, it seems like our faith is being continually tested and it is important to know if our faith is in ...

What comes to your mind when you think of a foundation? Buildings? Institutions? For the ladies, make-up? What is a foundation? I’m glad you asked! According to the dictionary, it is the basis or groundwork of anything. Having a good foundation in anything, whether it be a building, an institution, or even make-up, ensures that whatever is laid on that foundation remains. The following highlights the importance of having firm foundation. I’m part of a singles group at my church and on one specific gathering, we had what we called “the baffle of the sexes”. Without going into major details on all the fun we had that night , I will share with you the highlight of the night…at least for me. So, after playing three rounds of the game and watching my fellow chicas loose, a bonus round was introduced. We were told to build the Tower of Babel with a limited amount of newspapers and staples. We were being judged on the stability, majesty, and height of the ‘building’. Our...
