@holybibletoday Hi can you please pray for me, about two weeks back i ate spicy food against my better judgement and now im struggling to get the pain in my stomach under control i had a few good days, but since yesterday the pain is quite intense, i battle to sleep, thanks
@anna_stephens7 Amen Anna, God is sovereign and holy, as much as He loves us, the best decision we can ever make is to fear Him, not in the sense we would be punished but in reverence and awe
Here's 3 points:
1. God wants no one to have a reason for boasting (see 1 Corinthians 1:29, Ephesians 2:9).
2. If you are made right before God by your works, it gives you a reason to boast (see Romans 4:2).
3. Therefore, you are not made right before God by your works.
@anna_stephens7 Amen Anna very true and powerfull words, we sometimes think of idols as physical things, they can sometimes be a very good thing in our lives that becomes more important than God
"so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
-Isaiah 55:11
God declares that His Word never returns empty and always accomplishes exactly what He sends it to do. That means the gospel is never ineffective.
When it's preached, it either softens hearts and brings life to those He saves, or it hardens and leaves others without excuse. The same sun that melts wax hardens clay. God's Word succeeds every time, either as the aroma of life to those who believe or as a witness of judgment to those who reject it. It never fails and it fulfills His purpose perfectly
@anna_stephens7 Amen Annna, Absolutely God for me, funny that you posted this, i was thinking about this these past few days, greed will lead you nowhere, blessings💚
