Our True Source

1 Corinthians 8:6 

Nothing can cut you down permanently and no one will succeed against you if you are connected to God through Jesus Christ.

John 10:28

A tree, even if it has been cut down still has hope as long as it still has it's roots in the ground.

If there is hope for a tree, there must be hope for you

Job 14:7-10

If the tree is not disconnected from it's source the tree will live again once it's roots make contact with water.

The root of a tree is it's source and foundation.

In scripture, God's people are likened to spiritual trees and plants.

Psalm 1:3

We are called the planting of the Lord.

Isaiah 61:3

We are called the branches of Jesus the vine.

John 15:5

We are also likened to olive plants.

Psalm 52:8

Jesus identifies Himself as a spiritual plant too.

John 15:1

He also identifies with the root of the plant.

He is the root of David.

Revelation 22:16

If you are in Christ Jesus, He is your root too!

If Christ is your root, you are set for great things!

If Jesus Christ is your root, you will and should be immovable.

Psalm 125:1

God was the anchor, the root, the refuge, the stronghold, that ensured David never lost a fight on the battle field.

2 Samuel 8:1-15

God is our source, our true source.

Unfortunately, there are so many people who do not take God as their source.

Their faith is in something else.

The faith they should have in God has been put in something else or other things, like their education, their spouses, their children, their jobs, their careers, friends, their money, their wealth or business connections.

They have refused to trust the one true God who sustains their life, gives them daily bread, and supplies the air they breath.

Some even put their faith in the universe and leave out God who created them.

Romans 1:25

The universe is not God.

God is not the universe.

God created the universe.

The universe is not to be worshiped.

The universe is the handiwork of God.

God is our true source. 

Our root!

My root!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
