Crazy faith..

I have a couple of favorite preachers and one of them is  Sarah Jakes Roberts , the daughter to the famous Bishop TD Jakes.I have listened to almost all her sermons on you tube and i love that she is not just a preacher but also a prayer warrior.So there is this phrase she loves to use, ' I am crazy enough to believe...'. And she will go on to declare the things she is believing God for. I used to wonder why she often used the word 'crazy' until i found myself in the same place.

I am in a place right now in my life , where all i have is this crazy faith...

Let me take you back a bit to an experience i had in campus. In my class of B com Finance we were very few during that year and so we all connected somehow.As it is  a custom of most university students, before the lecturer came in , we would talk about all things and nothing. I loved to sit at the front row in class, not because i was a chopi ( bright student in class) . I felt comfortable there..at the front. I think i have always been a front girl.And so we would joke around and say, guys at the front row will get first class honors, true to that word all of us got first class honors.And though i said this with some conviction , i never imagined that this would one day become a reality( the power of the tongue). First year, second year i was doing okay, until third , things changed on my report form. My hope of attaining a first class honor was slowly fading away. I was so devastated.The day i received my report form i went straight to the prayer room with it.I poured my heart to God and i told Him that the report form showed me of been average which i was not.I always believed i was not an average student. Average is a killer of greatness if you remain there.Average shows you have potential to be great.

Long story short , to this day i don't know where my third year report form is( the one i took to God in the prayer room), it mysterious disappeared ( I got a replacement though later on). In my fourth year, God worked wonders, i performed excellently, it was far beyond my expectations.And yes i got a first class!That was crazy crazy faith! Glory to God!

The word crazy means extremely enthusiastic, passionate, fanatical, excited, and yes mad ( to mean manifested in wild or aggressive behavior). Tell me if your loved one is sick in hospital and there are scares of death, people might think you are crazy to believe for your loved ones recovery. Its beyond a human beings imagination and mind. That could only be the mind of Christ in you propelling you to believe for something impossible in the eyes of men. Tell me was Daniel , Shadrach , Meshach and Abednego not crazy to believe that God would save them in the den of lions. I would go on and on , the list is endless of men and women of faith. The bible says in Hebrews 11,

32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection

 Please read the whole chapter.

So i am here to tell you, do not fret when people start to think you are becoming a little bit crazy to trust God for the impossible. All these men and women of Faith are cheering you on. Great is the cloud of witnesses.

I must say jotting down this blog i felt stretched and it felt uncomfortable. But if we are desiring to be great and also to see this been made manifest in our lives we must push beyond the limits and become all that God desires us to be.


When it is all said and done, i will be back to give the testimony.

Crazy faith!

With love,
Bernice

  1. Luke 17:6
    The Lord answered, "If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'May you be uprooted and thrown into the sea,' and it would obey you!

What does it mean to be content ?

I will go straight to the topic…. Contentment defined is a state of happiness and satisfaction. Recently the Lord has been impressing in my heart so much on this. And it comes at a time when I am trusting God to do so much in my life. So many people believe ( I have also found myself in that state sometimes ) that if only God bless me with a car, with a house, a better job, a wife , a husband , school fees,even that which is in your mind, then will they be happy. When you cross over to the other side you will discover that none of these will ever give complete joy and satisfaction. I have come to know that even in the season of waiting and in the storm you can still find happiness and satisfaction. The word of God tells us that in all circumstances we should give thanks. Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1Thesalonians 5:18) . In thanksgiving I have found happiness and satisfaction. As I give thanks I discover how...

Never missed a day

Hey, Sorry for taking long to post, always from heart, i intend to do this with sincerity and from the depth of my heart. I have been in a season where God has been taking me back to the basics. This is one of the lessons i have learnt ; The other day during my usual morning prayers i began by thanking God for the gift of life and  the gift of a new day. What i thought to be a usual morning prayer turned out to be something even more beautiful.The Lord began to impress in my heart, the importance or the weight of living in a day, haha, if there is any phrase like that 'living in a day' Everyday we rise, shows God's faithfulness and the beauty in His word.Each day is evidence that the word of God has never failed.When you see the sun and the moon, when you look up and see the skies, day and night, this is all the word of God being made manifest.   And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.   And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divi...

About to make a big decision!

If i was to give a subtitle to this it would be ( making decisions God's way) In the last couple of months, i have been on the verge of making a very big decision in my life. I have constantly mentioned this to God, asking Him to lead me. I knew i would not lead myself and so i had to lean on to God's understanding. So many times when you are just about to make a very big decision, there will be two voices speaking in you. Your voice and God's voice. The enemy may take advantage of your own voice especially when God is leading you to your place of destiny and purpose. He ( the enemy ) is so afraid of who you are in Christ and he will do anything to lead you astray. What i have learnt in this season: God is not the author of confusion  Make a decision ( the enemy would want you remain stuck without making a decision ) Test every spirit ( the enemy would still use scripture to tempt you ) Know your weaknesses and strengths Accountability ( get someone you trust t...
