CHRISTIAN BEST ONE LINERS - 23 (QUOTES ON FAITH - TAKEN FROM THE WEB)

There is no fear in faith, and no failure in God.

Faith is the warranty deed that the thing for which you have fondly hoped is at last yours.

Faith moves first; then God moves in answer to faith.

Sorrow looks back. Worry looks around. But faith looks up.

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.

God puts no restriction on faith. Faith puts no restriction on God.

Faith is a requirement, not an option.

Feed you faith and your doubts will starve to death.

Both faith and fear may sail into your harbor, but allow only faith to drop anchor.

Faith does not make things easy, it makes them possible.

IN THIS NEW YEAR GOD WILL DO MIRACLE IN THE LIVES OF HIS PEOPLE WHO WERE DESPISED AND UNLOVED

UPCOMING LENGTHY ARTICLES IN THIS NEW YEAR AND NEW PAGES

YOU WILL RECEIVE THE GOODNESS THAT YOU HAVE WANTED TO RECEIVE FOR SO MANY YEARS

In Mark 5:25-34 we read about a woman who had a particular sickness for twelve long years. All those years she longed for healing. She ran to doctors. She had spent everything that she had to get healed but she could not get what she longed for. But one day she ran to Jesus and touched His garment. Immediately she got healed. As she ran to Jesus Christ, she received what she had longed for.

In John 5:5-9 we read about a man who had an infirmity for 38 long years. He had been in that condition for long time. Jesus knew his condition and so He came to him and healed him. After 38 years he took up his bed and walked. 38 years he could not walk or do anything by his own. But then when Jesus healed him, he immediately walked. He was waiting for a healing for 38 years and Jesus Christ who knew his condition granted him what he had desired for.

You might be expecting a healing for years. You might be expecting a miracle for years. Do not get discouraged. You will receive what you long for in this New Year.

I knew two young girls who had lost their father many years ago. On a particular day the father met with an accident and he died. The father was the only man who was earning in that family. The mother was not well educated and she was a house wife. As she lost her husband she didn’t know what to do. But then she had kept her trust in God.

At that time the elder daughter was studying in a private college and the younger daughter was studying in a private school. They are in need of the money as the fees have to be paid for their studies. No relatives came forward to help. As their father had an insurance policy they thought that the insurance money will come and it will be helpful to them to pay the fees and manage their life. But the money they had expected never came.

A case was registered in the court but then years begun to pass. They waited for years in prayer asking God to intervene. By then God met all their needs in some other ways miraculously. Both the young girls had completed their studies in reputed institutions by the grace of God. The elder one got married and even at that time they thought if they receive the insurance money it will be helpful but they have not got it.

Yet they continued praying. Finally after 9 years recently the insurance money was sanctioned to them. They waited for the case to end for so many years. They kept their trust in God and prayed. Finally God gave them their expectations. Today I believe that the money will be somewhat helpful to them to meet their future needs.

My dear young friends, you might be longing to receive a particular blessing for so many years but yet you might not have received that. It might be a promotion, a job, or any other blessing. You might be barren for years and you are longing for a child for so long. Today God is promising you that you will receive the goodness that you are longing for so many years. Whatever that you are longing to have for these many years, will be granted to you in this New Year. God will do that in your life and definitely you will receive His goodness.

MIGHTY WATERS WILL NOT REACH YOU AS GOD'S GRACE WILL SURROUND YOU AND PROTECT YOU

From my young age, whenever New Year eve comes, I used to hear the prophecies of certain great servants of God whom I like a lot. Even in this New Year I listened to few prophecies that God revealed to His servants. Most of the prophecies warn about the dangerous things that are going to happen around the world. God wants us to pray and so He reveals His plan through His servants.  And then I was thinking how God’s people will survive in those situations.

Yesterday as I was sitting in a Spiritual meeting and listening to the message of one of the great servants of God in India, He quoted a Bible passage which is in 

Psalms 32:6-8 &10

“Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while You may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them. You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in Him.”

Through him God spoke certain things that encouraged me a lot which I wanted to share with you today. Mighty waters may come against you but it will not reach you as you will be surrounded by three important things.

1.      You will be surrounded by Songs of Deliverance.

2.      God will counsel you with His loving eye upon you.

3.      You will be surrounded by Lord’s unfailing love.

My dear young friends, in the beginning of this New Year, you might be anxious about so many things. You might fear about certain things. The situations might be similar to the mighty waters that rise against you. But today God promises you that evil things will not reach you for you. God will deliver you from all troubles. He will counsel you and teach you in the way you should go. His unfailing love will be upon you.

All you have to do is to pray and trust God. When you pray the situations will change for good. As you trust God, you will see God doing greater things in your life. Jesus Christ loves you. He will protect you and save you from all troubles. You are not alone in the path in which you are going now. Jesus Christ is with you and He will never forsake you.

WHAT GOD IS PROMISING US IN THIS NEW YEAR 2017?

1.     You might be despised, unloved, hated and afflicted. This year God will do miracle in your life and He will be revealed through you.

2.     You might be living a deserted life without any blessings. This year God will remember you and will pour out His blessings upon you and He will raise you.

3.     Those who are mourning in the beginning of this year will be comforted before the end of the year.

4.     You will receive God’s provision in abundance.

5.     In this year, God will give you the blessings that you are longing to receive for so many years.

6.     You will prosper.

GOD WILL SATISFY YOU WITH HIS GOODNESS AS HIS PLANS ARE GREATER THAN YOUR PLANS

“I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord."- Jeremiah 31:14

In this new year God is promising you that you will be satisfied with His goodness. In I Kings 17:8-16, we read about a widow in the city called Zarephath. She was a widow and she had a son. Her life situation was in a terrible state. She had only a handful of flour and a little oil. With that she knew that she could eat only for a meal and they could survive only for a while.

She was gathering the sticks to cook the meal and her plan was to eat and die. She had no hope about the future. All she had was about to end. She had no one to support her. She knew that she and her son were not going to live. She had no future in her sight. Her plan was to eat that one meal and die. But God’s plan about her life was different.

“…See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” - 1 Kings 17:9

While that widow thought that she will die, God has already planned that she will live and also provide for Elijah in the future days.

Bible says in 1 Kings 17:15  “…she and he and her household ate for many days."

When the whole city had no rain and when other people struggled, the widow and her household was blessed by God. God’s plan about that widow’s life was greater than her own plan. God’s goodness filled her and she lived and also provided for Elijah.

My dear young friends, God says to you today that your life will be filled with His goodness.

I knew a girl who got married a year ago and her husband was working under a cruel manager who used to make his subordinates work very hard and take all credits to himself. That person was even more unfair to her husband just because they were Christians. He literally plunders all appreciation, appraisal and incentives of his team member because of this many had jumped into different company and her husband too longed to get into other company. At last on the month of May 2016, by grace of God he got a job in another company and that very day God has promised them from Haggai 2:19 “Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. ‘From this day on I will bless you.’” and also counselled them not to shift to the new job, but to stay where he was working and he will be blessed in that same place.

Her husband decided to obey God and stayed in the same company. Within two months, on the month of August as God has promised he blessed her husband with an increment of 25% from his actual salary. They were so astonished to see the way God blessed them with His goodness in their life. God hasn’t stop there, He also provided them 35% of salary as bonus for the Christmas 2016.  In years, this was the first time he was getting the bonus from the company as a team member. God met all their needs and satisfied them with His goodness as they surrendered themselves to God’s plan.

My dear young friends, as you surrender yourself to obey God’s plan, He promises you that He will satisfy you with His goodness. You have to understand that God has greater plans about your future. His plans are greater than your own plans. His plans will bring goodness and joy into your life. Holy Spirit says that this year you will receive the goodness that you long to have for so many years. This year will be a blessing to God’s people and you will be blessed.

GOD'S PROMISE FOR THE YEAR 2017

GREAT ARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD

“Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them." - Psalms 111:2

Throughout this year God has done wonderful things in our life. His works are great. Even now as we are approaching this year end, I want to thank God for all that He has done in my life.

I knew that this year I failed to upload God’s messages in this blog regularly. There were times God spoke certain things and asked me to write that in the blog. But I failed to manage my time and failed to obey it. Personally this year I was so lazy regarding the blog work and because of that only very few articles were updated compared to the previous years.

Though I failed to do His work properly, He was so gracious to lead me till the end of this year. He has blessed the ministry, family life and official work.

As there is only one more day left in this year, I could boldly say that because of God’s grace nothing has lacked in my life this year. I thank God for that.

Also I believe that His grace will lead me in writing articles in this blog regularly. I assure you that from the first of New Year there will be regular posting of articles in the blog. Do pray for me. Have a blessed new year.
