Jesus Walks on Water

Do you have a life without problems? Yes? Then you have a problem! Because problems come as an in-built feature in life's travel package.

Think about it. If you did not have problems, you would not:

* learn how to solve them
* look for a power higher than yourself who could help you solve them

Trust God and Overcome the Giant

God is greater than your problems!

In the post David and Goliath, we read about how David knocked down the Philistine giant Goliath with just one weapon. No, that weapon was not the stone. It was faith in Jesus Christ.

When you have read the Bible carefully, you know that God, throughout history, has promised people of His blessings if they follow Him and obey Him. You also read how He has fulfilled these promises when people obeyed Him.

David and Goliath

Have you faced a major challenge in your life and wondered, "How am I going to overcome this?" I think most of us have. Rejoice, for there's some good news for you and me! Read this true story to learn more...

David was a shepherd who was faced with a giant of a challenge when he was just a teenager. King Saul of Israel and his army were confronted at war by the Philistines. The enemy camp had a giant of a man in their ranks, called Goliath. You have probably heard the story of David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Goliath was over 9 feet tall, solidly built and wore a complete armour. None of the Israelites thought they could take him on. He kept mocking them. He came out against them every morning and evening for 40 days and terrified the Israelite army.


In the name of the LORD!

Then David was sent to the battlefront by his father Jesse. He had a good look at Goliath and saw no reason why he could not overcome this hurdle to victory. So when Goliath cursed him, he answered him back:“You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the
battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into our hands.” (1 Samuel 17:45-47) You can purchase a Bible from Christianbook.com

David took out a stone and took aim. At the first throw itself, the stone hit Goliath's forehead and knocked him to the ground. David took Goliath's sword and killed him and cut off his head, as he said he would. The Philistines fled. King Saul and his army chased them and killed them and won.

You can win too, if faced with a giant in your life.

10 Amazing Bible Facts You Must Know

Bible Trivia is truly amazing! Tidbits about the Word of God are also a priceless weapon in every Christian's armoury. Like it or not, people are more likely to agree with you when your argument is substantiated by facts and figures, even when it comes to God and His Word! For instance, did you know that:

1. The Bible is a collection of 66 books - 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament.
2. It was written over a period of 1000 years by at least 40 different authors from Asia, Africa and Europe. They wrote under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

God Has a Plan for You

"God has a plan for your life." You've heard this over and over again, I'm sure. And the story that follows will convince you that it's true.

3 trees were selected for being chopped and made into something.

Bible-believing Christians - a Blessing for Humanity

Christians are like jungle trees, said our pastor one evening at a mid-week service. You might think that's crazy, but it's not. He went on to show why:

When a fisherman wants to build a boat or a barge, he looks for wood. He chooses a jungle tree and not a tree from his backyard. The jungle tree has weathered many a storm and passed through several tests. It is tough and can survive attacks. But a backyard tree cannot.

Praise and Worship Music - its Benefits

Praise and Worship through music is often underestimated when it comes to prayer and fellowship. If you think (as I used to, once upon a time) that praise and worship music is not for you and the pastor's message is enough, you will likely change your thinking after reading this post.

Benefits of Worship Music:

• Releases God's Blessings: Glorifying God is the very purpose of our existence. When you sing His praises, you are actually aligning yourself with God's plan for your life. This releases His blessings over and into your life.

Jehovah-jireh - He is our Provider

Do problems come to an end when you believe in Jesus Christ and repent of your sins? "Yes" and "No." Let me explain this...

YES:
When I believed in Jesus and repented of my sins in May 2001, God delivered me from a mental block where I did not want to do a salaried job. I took up a job and then it led to another and then another. Despite 6 years in the field of music, I did not earn as much as I began earning every month, after I turned to Jesus.

God Wants to Live in Your Heart!

The Universe has 100,000,000,000 = 100 billion = 10000,00,00,000 = 10,000 crore galaxies (see Wikipedia: "Galaxy"). Our galaxy is among the smaller ones. And it contains at least 200 billion stars (and possibly up to 400 billion stars - see Wikipedia: "Milky Way"), other than the Sun! Do you wish to calculate how many stars there must be in all the galaxies combined? I don't, at least! The Bible says, that “the host of heaven cannot be numbered.” (Jeremiah 33:22)

Now...these galaxies, we know, were created. They didn't just appear out of nowhere. They were created by (obviously) an intelligent Creator who we call God. And if I create a clay model, it belongs to me. If you create a software program, it belongs to you unless and until someone pays a price to buy it from you. God created the universe and everything - every living and non-living being - in it. So naturally, the universe and everything in it - living and non-living - belongs to Him. He can choose to live anywhere. Yet He prefers to live in your heart. Is your heart big enough for Him to gain access? If not, what's stopping you from trusting such a great Creator and letting Him guide you every moment of your life?

Do you know what a lovely life He has in store for you! Read this post to learn how Gracious and Merciful God is. Get yourself a Bible today from Christianbook.com, start reading from the Gospel of John or Mark and see your life change - for the Best!

All the Best!
