Having Faith is the only thing that pleases God

Went to church today and as usual our pastor Julian spoke so beautifully and convincingly that i just wanna keep on nodding my head the whole time. Thought i would skip service today and study for my exam but then i know i would eventually sleep and waste my time so i thought I'd go and have quality time with God.

As a kid i always hated going to church. Only if i had a pretty dress would i wanna go otherwise i was very demotivated to attend services. I got bored hearing about the narrations after the narrations about what happened to the Israelites, the kings and on and on cos I even got to hear about that in Sunday School too. And the sad part was that there were rarely, even a pint of humor to the messages. Anyways past is past, now am like really looking forward to attend service and if i ever missed one i would be really sad. But i guess part of the reason was because of our pastor who's really concerned for the youths and i can really say that he's truly a man of God.

He talked about Faith today. It was based on Genesis 17:15-21. Abraham, the father of faith waited for 15 years and finally God appeared to him and told him that he would a father soon. During that long years God was teaching him develop Faith. It was the undying and unfailing Faith that Abraham has towards God that made him a blessed man.

Faith is the language of heaven and God throws us in a situation that allows us to develop Faith so as to help us reach/attain that eternal life and the riches that God has stored for us in heaven.
God gives the best to those who let Him have His will and not go according to one's own wishes. However God is so generous and loving that He answers our prayers. But we have to always bear in mind that it has consequences. If you make a wrong choice, the consequence can be passed from generation to generation. But, the good news is that He would redeem us if we ask Him so.

I cannot type the exact words that Julian shared to us but it was really enlightening and it's not about how he teaches us from how God made the heaven and the earth to the end of the world in revelation, but its the way he extracts from the bible, a verse or a chapter and makes us see the relevance in today's world and the need for God's word in our daily life.

"LEAVE YOUR CHOICE TO GOD; THOUGH IT MIGHT BE THE HARDEST PART. ALL THINGS WORK OUT FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD. WE HAVE TO ONLY HAVE THE 'YES' SPIRIT!"
