The Object Of Our Faith

Picture by Aubrey P.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

Faith in God starts with a belief in His existence. To know Him must be our quest and the number one desire of our heart.


The LORD God said to him, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not the rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD (Jer. 9:23-24).

What do we know about our God? He is self Existent. He is The Beginning He is the Ending. He is not constrained with time. He is the All-Knowing, All - Powerful, Most Holy God. God is Love and He is our Creator and our Savior. He is Spirit and there is only one God.

This One True Almighty God was manifested in the flesh and dwells among us (I Tim.3:16) The angels have seen Him and we can see God through our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the image of the invisible God. (Col.1:15-17) "For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." (Col.2:9)
Now how these facts have something to do with our Faith? All of it! Because He is the object of our faith.

It is not the strength of our faith that matters, but the strength of that in which we place our faith.

"Look unto Jesus the Author and the Finisher of our Faith." (Hebrews 12:2)

The Object of our faith is Tried and True; Strong and Faithfull; He never fails and He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
Did our Lord give them instructions on how to increase their faith?

Jesus replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. (Luke 17:5-6)


Great faith is good but even a small faith has enough strength to command everything the Lord had released in heaven and in earth by the power of His Name. Just have faith!

Real Faith is faith in real things. Faith is not trying to create reality. It understands what Jesus Christ came and did was a historical fact not fiction. It is a conviction that what we learned are not just true, but the truth that God has revealed for a purpose. We are assured, confident and certain that His words and promises are true. He will not just honor His words, but He is His Words.

Sometimes God will put us in the situation that neither your strength, nor your talent nor your resources can help you and what left is to completely trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the testing of our faith, our true nature will come out and God wants to see if we truly have faith in Him.


Faith in Christ is not faith, until He's all we're holding onto. But He is able to hold us forever and never let us go all the way through eternity.

Something Better Is On Its Way

Some of us were privilege to witness and understand the works of God in the midst of long painful nights of uncertainty.

Close doors and dead ends in our path do not indicate that we failed to reach our goal nor it signify failures in our journey, they are simply barriers of whom God put to keep us from a wrong decision that will take us out of our course. Instead of stopping, find an open route and keep on going until we reach our destination. The Lord hears our prayer and honors our faith and according to His will, He will bring it to pass. Despite of all the negative and unfortunate circumstances we are in, He is still in control. Stay in the path and keep your eyes on our Lord Jesus Christ, the author and the finisher of our faith. Hold on to the promises of God until that day, the hour of victory, which is always better than what we expected! Then all our "Why's" will be answered.

That's the time everything will make sense and you will thank God for what He has done. And yes, you are right, "All the Glory belongs to Him!" for the simple reason that it's all because of Him. Now, stand up brush off the dust on your clothes, wipe the tears in your eyes and lift your head up. Give thanks unto the Lord! Look up for something better is about to happen… Something better is on its way.

There's a Blessing in the Storm

All of us in some way, if not us, it's our family, or our friends or people we've known has been touched by "Laid Off" or "Job Lost".
Home, business and occupation, the very thing that people trusted to have a better life, sometimes or most of the times their priority more than their health and unfortunately, more than God...now crumbled and could not help them. Where's the job, your work, career you treasured when you needed them the most? Even the professions we thought that is secured nowadays we can no longer trust. Nothing is permanent in this world. All is subject to change whether we like it or not.

Then where else and to whom we can put our trust?

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he …shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul." Psalm 121:1-7

There is One who never change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Everything that we need comes from Him. And He should be the priority in our life. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Rock that is higher than us.

"From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I." Psalm 61:2

Will the Christians who love the Lord be spared by these unfortunate circumstances? No. We are not immune to it. But this is for certain, Our God will surely take care of us, He will keep us safe and will supply all our needs through the process. There's a Blessing in the Storm!
The peace and joy that we have in the midst of this worried world is more than enough to be grateful.

"Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. " Psalm 62:5-7

God's ways and thoughts are higher than us. World's economy is different than God's economy. God's purpose will not be affected by what's happening in this world.

His perfect will be done on this earth as it is in heaven!
