God is faithful

God is faithful. Even when we are faithless, God is still faithful. He is faithful to His covenant.

Abraham was told by God that he will be father of many. Abraham believed God though he was childless at that time. However, many years after that promise was made, Abraham was still childless. Years later the Lord himself told Abraham that he will have a son by Sarah and Sarah judged God faithful. Then came Isaac.

God sent Moses to deliver His people from the Egyptians. The nine plagues didn't make Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go. But the blood of the sacrificial lamp was able to make Pharaoh let His people go. It wasn't plain sailing though. While trying to get away from the Egyptians, the children of Israel was met with the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army hot on their heels. God is faithful and He caused the Red Sea to part for the children of Israel to cross and later flood the whole Egyptian army.

Because God is faithful and He is love, He sent His only begotten Son to die for the world that through His death, the world will be reconciled back to God. The bible says that whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, and his household.

God is faithful to see that things out to be good for His children. He will make sure that those who put their trust in Him shall not be put to shame. He will alwyays deliver His saints, for He is a faithful God. Look to Jesus for He is everything that we need. Hallelujah!

God counts the number of your hair on your head

Nothing is too small or too big for God. Anything that troubles a believer, Abba Father knows about it and has a solution for it long before that thing/event troubles a believer. The bible says that God even counts the number of hairs on believer's head.

God is always looking out for His children and His people. He showed His love for the world by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus, to be crucified at the cross. Through that ONE sacrifice, all our sins are forgiven and whoever accepts the gift of salvation is made righteous. Whoever accepts the Son can go to the Father directly in his/her prayer. He/she can talk to Abba Father directly.

There were many instances in the bible where God's love was manifested in the natural. After God created Adam and Eve, He didn't just leave them and let them be. He came, daily, in the evening to commune with them. God came to talk to them like a caring Father would do.

When Joshua took over the reign from Moses, he was apprehensive about undertaking the leadership position to lead the children into the promised land. Before they came to the wall of Jericho, God appeared as an Angel with a sword in His right hand to assure Joshua that God was with him and His people.

When Jesus was walking on earth, He set a man who was demons possessed free where no man dare come near the man. Jesus touched the leper who was probably devoid of human touch when He healed him. He even raised Jairus' daughter who was dead and commanded that food be given to the girl. Jesus went about healing and doing good.

Whatever we are facing today, knows that God is with us and He is doing mighty things behind the scene for our own good. Just trust in His love for us for He loves us more than we can love ourselves. Hallelujah.

Shadow versus substance

I had always doubted the purpose of offerings to "God" of other faith. Never really grasp the true purpose of those offerings as well. Always wanted to question the real purpose of these offerings when I was very young but never had the courage to ask for fear of been reprimanded. However, I had always found the whole process meaningless.

Praise be to God that many of my doubts were cleared when I know more about Jesus. Before Christ came, children of Israel had to offer sacrifices to atone for their sins. This was done at the tabernacle of Moses. At the outer court, there was lots of blood shed from the killing of the sacrificial animals. At the holy place, there were three items: the altar of incense, the table of showbread and the candlesticks.

Till today, many religions are still practicing the ritual of sacrificing animals to have a prosperous year. Isn't it strange to see all these rituals so similar with the animal sacrifice during the old covenant days. Probably someone just copied the process but didn't get the true meaning of these rituals.

At the cross, Jesus, the true Lamb of God had completed the animal sacrifice to God, once and for all. The Lion of Judah had finished a finished work at the cross. It is completed complete! The true substance had come! All those sacrificial rituals are just a shadow, they are just representation of the true substance.

So, today, we just need to behold Jesus and His finished work and proclaim our blessings in Him. For Jesus is the true substance.
