Belief is REALITY

A man is made up of different things and whatever he is, is a product of what he thinks on in his heart. There are so many ways that lead to different destinations. We follow the way we think or believe is right and that's how we begin to form our belief systems. A belief system is an organized thought pattern that a person has repeated and proven to be true to him thereby forming his realities on it. 

The things we believe in is what we see as our truth. When a person chooses a path and pattern of life, he believes every other person should do the same, because his belief has become his reality. Until there is another conviction greater what he thinks is the best, he won't let go and will constantly cause arguments or conflict with anyone who wants to impose their pattern on him. 

But when a man chooses the way of Love in Christ Jesus, he has the truth and Life all wrapped together. That doesn't change the fact that he'll also face some people's drama who wants him to follow other ways, but if he's convinced that no heights, depths, money, food, people, life - nothing, can take him away from the way he has chosen, then his belief has become a true situation that exists (his reality).

I believe Abraham faced a lot of abuse from his people when he left his father's house (the thinking pattern he's accustomed to) to follow God's word in Faith and Hope. Who he believed became His reality and that we as can see today and even be connected to the blessings of his obedience. 

Now, what about you? What has formed your belief system? Is it the Truth of God's Word or the lies of the world? Are you persuaded in whom you have believed? How firm do you stand on his Word and how long will you walk in Him - the Way, Truth and Life? Is Jesus your reality or the things of this world that will perish?

I encourage you, my brethren, there is no other way that we can be saved or have anything worthy and glorious than being in Christ. You may be in a wilderness, but He'll surely make a way for you. Don't listen to what people may say, it's a way of discouraging you from seeing your realities materialize.

Jesus is always with you. Don't be tired or give up, He will strengthen you, just wait on Him and hold on to His Word. You will see Him come through for you, just let Jesus be your reality. SHALOM!
Romans 4:20

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
