Certainty Of Faith

1 Timothy 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

2Corinthians 4:16Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things, which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things, which are, seen are temporary, but the things, which are not seen, are eternal.

Prayer…. Our heavenly father, give us ears to listen to you. Speak to us Holy Father we need you. Every time we come to you… your table is ready and prepared with food, come quench our thirsty hearts, the bible said: its not by bread alone does a man live but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God…. Our spirits need your grace, your word is the light that can get to the darkest places to change us and reshape us, don’t let anyone get out of this place the same way they came tonight, your love will be enough to encourage us and lift us up…. Amen.

One of the most worrying things in this world (which we were part of one day, but thanks be to our lord who saved us from) is the FUTURE!

What’s in the future? What does the future hold for me?

Many claimed to know the future; some scientists now believe that the brain really CAN foresee events before they happen.

They designed machines that can travel into the future called TIME TRAVEL! It is a plot device of science-fiction tales; through some means or another character are taken away into the future. But is it possible? Could we ever travel into the future? Absolutely NOT!

Fortune-tellers or psychics try to predict the future! Many religions teach on future too, but end up with this saying: “GOD KNOWS” … Or nobody knows because it’s not clear.

The bible said: 1Cor 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

In our lifetime, not every problem will be solved, and not every question will be answered.

We cannot afford to stop the wheel of life to get an answer for our question! Because the wheel of life in continuously going with my question, and me… life goes on!

Some people stopped to get answers for their why’s…and got trampled on and got crushed by this wheel and got run over! Then they started to ask more unanswered questions…why did I stop? Why did I lose this and that? Why me? Where was the church when I needed them? Where were my brothers and sisters in Christ? Where was God? Why did I fail and others succeed?

The answer to all of this is…because there are unanswered questions in this life!

But with all this…God is saying to us: THERE IS CERTAINTY THAT DOESN’T NEED DOUBT IN LIFE. He wants to speak into us certainty, faith, assurance, and believe. Psalm25:14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show (demonstration, confirm, illustrate, teach) them His covenant.

Jesus our lord and saviour is our good teacher, He said: learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Learn from me means= I will reveal to you my secrets, and the future…I’m going to teach you so you can understand my revelations to you and the desire of my heart for you.

Daniel prayed and the angle came to him saying: “O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” Dan10:11.

Psalm 119… Containing 176 verses, is the longest single chapter in the Bible. The author of Psalm 119 is unknown, but most scholars agree that it was written either by David, Ezra, or Daniel. Each of these proposed authors suffered serious difficulties in their lives, and the author of Psalm 119 reflects that in descriptions of plots, slanders and taunts against him persecutions and afflictions. The major theme of Psalm 119 is teach me, give me understanding, incline my heart, revive me in your way…. teach me teach me!
