Faith that can overcome impossibilities

Someone said "Faith is only as good as it's object." The man in the jungle bows before the idol of stone and trust it to help him, but he receives no help. If faith is not directed to the right object, it will accomplish nothing. THe big question is "in whom do you believe".

It is so very true and essential for a man to have faith in the right object. The choice of this object will be done on the basis of his knowledge about it, as well as the things he wants to accomplish in his life. Here comes a crucial point for a man to know whether the love of God is there in his life or not, as he chooses the object of his faith.

For a Christian, it is his privilege to hold on to his faith and exercise it. As he holds his spirits high and hopes for the promises of Christ, he finds himself victorious in Christ. But as he leads his daily life, he comes to the point where problems that are as big as boulders come on his way, hindering him from going forward. At that point, comes in the role of faith in his life and plays an integral part. Here, faith in Christ Jesus works like a sledgehammer that shatters everything that comes in contact with it…! This faith keeps him going forward till he reaches the point where God wants him to be a warrior.

Faith is more effective when the knowledge of it comes along with its experience. It is important for a Christian to know that a strong faith leads a man to live a life that is not by sight. As he goes forward and faces the realities of life, there are possibilities that could make him fall apart or to quit, but a deep rooted faith in Christ Jesus will accelerate him to press on until he is successful. But unless he knows the power of God that is prevalent and can help him solve all kinds of problems in life, he won't be able to exercise his faith effectively. So it is important for a Christian to "know about" the right source of power and to "know" the source of power.

How true it is when someone said "Feed your faith, or your doubts will starve you to death". When we face impossibilities in our lives, there should be no seed of doubt or fear of failure that could give way to growth of unbelief that which will hinder us from continuing our successful Christian life. God calls us to experience Hid goodness and greatness and that will help a man to feed on his faith.

God wants every Christian to exercise faith to come to know about Him. It is not important as to how much faith we have, but the important thing is that whether we exercise it enough or not. So let us be bold and strong, let us face the impossibilities with this faith that "Greater is He who is in me, that he that is in the World".

Family

Family is the oldest and most fundamental human institution established by God from the beginning. As children of God it is necessary that we understand the biblical blueprints for building a godly home.

The blueprints for building a solid blessed marriage and family life are recorded by the Holy Sprit in the Bible. To maintain a healthy family life, one must follow these principles God has established in a spirit of humility and obedience. These Biblical principles for marriage and family life transcend time and culture.

God is the originator of the family. God established it in His inaugural act of the marriage between the first man and the woman.

God has created man in His own image and likeness and gave him dominion over all his creation. God knew that it is not good for man to be alone, so He made a help mate for him. God blessed them and instructed them to be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth. He gave them instructions to serve as stewards of His creation. The eternal purpose God made man and was to bear His likeness and thereby reveal His glory and honor by forming the spiritual, emotional, physical, and economic foundation for individuals, church, and society.

By Wisdom a house is build, and by understanding it is established, and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Home and the concept of family is God's original and primary means of producing Godly offspring and passing on godly values from generation to generation. It is at home that children see manhood and womanhood and that is where the character of Children is developed. It is at home that moral values are taught by parents and placed into the hearts of children. It is at home that the children see the reality of a life and establish a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is at home that people learn to live out their convictions.

To be a blessed family, it should be rooted in the word of God and abide in Him. God's words encourage us to invest on heavenly treasures and consider eternal value of our lives. Christians identify themselves as children who belong to the family of God. He demonstrated his responsibility as a father to his children through His life, love and sacrifice. A perfect example for us to follow. Parents have been given the responsibility to protect their children and keeping the family safe. But they cannot do it alone. Each member is a doorway an entrance to everyone's lives. God's goodness is His inherent moral perfection and His wonderful generosity to all His special creation. God is good and does good to all.

During the latter half of the twentieth century the western culture has suffered an unrelenting decline in moral and family life. Although scientific and technological advances led to prosperity and progress, moral values and convictions of people all over have rapidly crumbled. Thee western world once, based their sense of right and wrong on Biblical values and principles, which provided them with a solid, biblical foundation for life. Today, a very majority of the modern generation view morality and ethics as relative and subjective and have developed their own version of morality with little regard to biblical principles.

Many people today have little or no concept of how to maintain a successful marriage lead a successful family life. A growing number of educators, politicians, and the media are trying to redefine the biblical definition family. Many came to the realization lately, in light of unexpected, unexplainable tragedies, realized that that family and family values are important, but the their positive view towards moral relativism has lead them to redefined the meaning of family values. Christ is the foundation of the family, the family the backbone of the church and of society thereby the strength of the nation. History revealed that, if any society wants to survive, it must uphold, strengthen, and continue to build upon the biblical mandates of marriage and family.

To be a blessing as a family we need to mature spiritually day by day. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to follow. Give him control over your life and your family and he will reveal to you the will of God, step by step. He will bring you to maturity. Put God first in your life, take time to know that God is good (Psalm 46:10). Life is not always easy, but thankfully God is on our side. You may have to go through rough roads to reach the goal. God will work out your difficulties for your good, if you trust Him. He leads us for the easy way as well as the difficult things we encounter. He empowers us with the Holy Spirit to run the race and finish the course with victory. Don't run from your problems, face them head on. You will win if you wont quit.

The biblical principle and wisdom will lead us to rewarding results at home, in the family and finally the heavenly home, which God is preparing for us. We are His children, members of that glorious family of God. Let us be examples as he has demonstrated through His life to bring others into His family through a personal relationship with His Son.
