The black balloon

Thank you Bishop. This message is very powerful and really hit me. Truly we must use our faith always and keep it active because our faith in God is in vain if we will not use it with intelligence and with assurance that His word never fails.
Thank you Bishop.

i truly love this message for this morning, i was thinking about my testimony after i was watching a testimony of a couple from the youth group of the church. When i begin to carefully analysis the similarities of both testimony i end up realizing its the fact that God has toke the worse\ someone who has gone through hell and made them the head corner stone today, like my self. What I when through i only could of overcome through the power of faith manifested into my life at first i would wonder how did i end up on that road but now my pass is there only to help and motivate someone else with the similar case for them to be the next head corner stone for others to know that God is true and exist for us to have a better life, one that will be forever with him.

Thank you for the message Bishop. I understood that sometimes we make excuses to go ahead in life or limit ourselves with what we can achieve or tend to not dream big due to our pasts, our economical state or the qualification we don't have. I agree that using our faith has nothing to do with being religious and those who are followers of Christ should aim bigger and better in life to achieve even what seems impossible to us because God wants us to have a bigger and better life also for the winning over of souls, therefore we should use or faith and forget what we do or do not have because we serve the God of the impossible.

Thank you Bp for this message. I know for one that it is extremely easy to come up with excuses on why we CAN'T do A and B. However, in reality God wants the despised the ones that need this change in their mentality to lift and transform their lives.

Dear Bishop,
Thank you so much for posting this message.
I learned that what is the most important is not the outside part but what is inside of me (character) that makes the difference in my life!

This message opened my eyes that i should analyse always if my faith is active and produces fruit.Allowing doubts to take contol minimizes practicing the faith we proclaim to have.Then we start making excuses and looking to the exterior and worse yet we blame God for not moving forward and reaching our dreams.It's us that impede God's power in our lifes because we hesitate to use the great gift of faith and take actions in our lives.

What I understand is that to go high, to fly, my insidide needs to be filled by the Holy Spirit. Without Him, I will not go very high, my life will not go very far. Some without God are able to go further than others, but yet they will never be happy. This is foolishness to the world to say that, as many people think they do not need God. The more you understand who God is and the more you realise how much you need Him. But to let hil takeover, the doubt needs to bo on the bin!

this mesage it came in the right time, or let me say l read this mesage in right time becouse we start a week of different. God to make different between those call up on hin; and those not

Morning Bishop...
This is really true Bishop.. . the problem is not because people are not educated, no job or poor background. Doubt is what is rooted in many people's mind. And because the root is not good, the fruits it bears will be automatically not good as well!

Here I learnt that its only ourselves that dont allow ourselves to move forward. If we are doing everything right, the only thing that can possibly stop us from moving forward is ourselves, because we chose to believe in the doubt, I think this is becoming one of my problems as I am becoming complacent though where I am is not where I want to be

This message has definitely shaken me up as sometimes I tend to limit God telling him what is and isn't possible for Him to do in my life, how silly. But this has reminded me that God's abilities are not limited to mine but with faith in God the possibilities of achievement are endless.

What stood out for me was ''When it comes to faith, many link it to being religious, or to prayer, church attendance and things like '' . It's so easy to become religious (well in my case) without realsing. My Pastor has been talking about how simply God is, and how we can complecate things at times, and the thing is I realised that God is demanding belief, not religion.

This post showed me even more that the use of faith really is beyond doing the typical christian duties, it is crossing the boundaries of religion and going into a all or nothing belief that will bring a 100% solidly positive result, pushing away all doubts. And this is what i need to carry within myself in all areas of my life!

Dear Bishop.
The problèm is in someones mentality because colour méans nothing what matters is the volume inside.
Thank you.

Doubts make us think very small, they cripple our abilities,Everything becomes difficult because we think how big is the problem not how we are going to solve it.
Thank you Bp.

Reading this made me realise how true it is 'that my interior is more imprtant than my exterior'. The success of my life is within me not becaue of my intelligence or knowledge, for me I took for myself that I need to invest in my faith because it is the building blocks of my life, through it I can excel spiritually and physically. I remember my pastor spoke in a meeting that we impede God from doing great things through us because of our doubts and unbelief in ourselves. God works with us as a partner and needs our faith and belief in Him and ourselves. I need to cooperate with God through my faith in action.

This is a very good example. The helium in the ballon is the Spirit of God and if we want to fly high ( our lives to be at the top and us to be the blessing) we need to manifest our faith by obeying, trusting and practise the word of God and surely we will reach the sky.

God bless u and thank you for sharing this message.

Afternoon Bishop, This is very true. This reminds me of a youth that i evangelised for the event we will be having here, and he came up wth many excuses as to why his life could not change and how the event could not help him. And reading this blog showed me the main reason he brought so many excuses was because of doubts. Simple, and when i mentioned to him the use of faith, he declared it to be 'religous talk' in a way, and like the post says 'Faith has nothing to do with religion' but the truly the power of God working in our 'inner most parts of the poor in spirit.'
Faith in God is truly the only thing that can cause us to have TRANSFORMED Lives

Very true Bishop! All excuses given by a person out of his/her complexes are summed up with 'Doubts'!
This was the primary reason why many people in the church for a long time and seems they were stuck, yes they got healing, blessings, transformation but this is not only all about, it's about the time people must see that the God we are serving and believed is Alive! God chose the weak ones (us) in order to shame the wise who think they are perfect and knew everything! Those who said I am weak, I don't deserve are the humble one would be greatly used by God and He will start change the history of our life! Thanks for this an aye opener message to us bishop!

Anyone can succeed or do well regardless of external factors such as race, physical abilities ect. But these people who do well have something in common which we cannot see so there is obviously something within them that they all have in common-faith.

Good Morning Bishop
One thing I have learnt is that I do not let my circumstances defy who I am. No matter how bad things may look on the outside (Physical eyes) I always use my Faith and look at everything with (Spiritual eyes) so being constantly Vigilant in all that I do. I have noticed that the more I spend time seeking and asking God to direct (even in the littlest of things) there is no longer any room for doubt.

yes bishop...it is our decision that will lead us where we wanted to go...if we decide to be strong and use our faith or not..

Indeed the devil has been overcoming many people and impeding them to look ahead, and their lives to continue stocked only with his strongest weapon which is doubt.

God is not looking if we are beautiful or not, if we are white or black, if we are rich or poor... What He is looking for is what is inside our heart.

The Lord Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible."
This is how much He want us to use our faith but without any doubt.

Mine was am too fat to get this job, this was the doubt that played with me for years in my love life.

its true, many people dont go as far because they dont believe they can. ''Anything is possible for he who believes''. If we believe we will surely go to greater places we would have never thought.
