Having Faith or Being Fake

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. - Matthew 5:16

There is a Thin Line about HAVING FAITH and BEING FAKE.  Faith is essentially doing what God wants you to do while being fake is trying to do something to impress people.

These day we have so many believers who just want to do nothing else but to show off. Yes, our light must so shine before men and they would see our GOODWORK. God is glorified not by our show but by our good work.

Be yourself, don't be who you are not because you will never last there. 
That they may see your good works - The proper motive to influence us is not simply that we may be seen but it should be that our heavenly Father may be glorified. The Pharisees acted to be seen of men, true Christians act to glorify God, and care little what people may think of them, except as by their conduct others may he brought to honor God, yet they should so live that people may see from their conduct what is the proper nature of their religion.

You want to testify of the Lord's provisions, do it to glorify God and not to show off. You want to dress to service, dress to honour God and not to show off. The focus shouldn't be on you but God. Anytime attention is shifted to you, you are doomed for a downfall. We shine for God to be glorified not for us to please people.

The next time you want to  do something, ask yourself am I showing off or am I glorifying God?

Thank God is Friday, it's been a great week. 

Good Morning beloved and do have an awesome  day.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
