The Lighter Side http://divine.sobbayi.com Bringing the Word of God and an understanding of who Jesus is from a lighter perspective Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:51:02 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Understanding and Knowing the Christ http://divine.sobbayi.com/understanding-and-knowing-the-christ/ http://divine.sobbayi.com/understanding-and-knowing-the-christ/#comments Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:51:02 +0000 Steve Obbayi http://divine.sobbayi.com/?p=375 Perhaps you have perceived or you entertain the notion that the entire Bible right from the book of Genesis in one way or another points to Jesus, the Christ. This starts right from the creation story in Genesis and continues on to the end of the book of Revelation. With this entire flood of information pointing at the Christ then how do we even start to understand who He is.

What with a lot of false preachers running the pulpits with a strong notion of self rather than the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of these false pastors and Bible teachers can be detected from the fruits they bear. Many are interested in glorifying themselves, or interested in self material and financial enrichment especially at the expense of the church members.

A testimony by Bob Scruggs, I want to remind us that it is by the Grace of God that we are saved and not of works (signs and wonders) that any man should boast. In part one of Word of Faith nonsense we saw what brushing shoulders with the false teachers can do and in what state of hopelessness you can be left in.

Bob has been kind enough to share his testimony and experiences with His life's ministry and what God has done for Him with you all. He also touches on his encounters with the Word of Faith Movement teachers. It is really heart warming testimony presented in two parts.

He made and provided what we would need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. Seeing we are such slow learners, God left us a great clue

If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on.

She badly needed healing and saw this one opportunity to be made whole. She reached out and received as she touched the hem of His garment and was instantly healed. Had the woman not have crawled towards Jesus, She probably would not receive her healing.

Out of 31,101 verses in the bible, there are 8,810 promises.7,487 from God to man.(about 85% of all bible promises). 991 instances of one person to another, 290 from God to man. Others made through angels most found in Luke, 9 3 are made by the devil, e.g. to give Jesus the kingdoms of the world. Two are made by an evil spirit, two by God the father to God the son

When God bids you to tarry it means he has sufficient grace for you. The more willing and patient you are for God to lead and direct you, the stronger you become and the further you go. Never be in a hurry simply because God has called you, when he calls you he says come wait on me.

You have to die to all that is your own. It is difficult for someone to receive something with a clenched fist. You must first unfold your fingers to be able to grasp at what is being given to you.
