“Strength to keep on moving in Life”, a common cry amongest people all over the world. It is this strength that allows people to fight and persist against troubles of life, even though this strength is mostly only searched for when in trying times, the world yerns for a constant supply of strength.
The First Question is “Where does this strength come from?’
Psalms 28: 7:
“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.”
Answer: The Answer is very easy it comes from Jesus Christ.
Question 2: Now how do we acquire this Strength?
The Bible Says: in Nehemiah 8:
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
Lets Pick up the last Phrase of the Scripture ‘The joy of the Lord is your strength‘.
In simple terms,
The Joy Of the Lord is Your Strength means When God Is Pleased He provides you with Strength in various ways ….
Strength Financially. E.T.C.
Strength To Please Him
Philipians 2: 13
For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.
Question 2: How do we please God?
Hebrews 11: 6:
” But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.“
In simple terms there is no way we can make God happy if our deeds are not in Faith.
Question 3: How is Faith acquired?
Now according to Hebrews 11: 1 :
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
and How Faith is acquired is found in:
Romans 10: 17
Which says:
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Now, Since we get our strength from Jesus and according to:
John 1: 14
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
and
John 1: 1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
We can clearly see that Jesus who is the Source of Strength, is also the WORD.
Many of us who are aware that JESUS is our strength, many times without number ask God for strength and wait and do nothing.
Well, God is saying:”If His Not Happy= No Strength, How do We please Him= Only through faith and how does Faith come= By Hearing the Word Of God.”
Bottom Line: No Word No Strength.
Give Your Life to Jesus, Because Life is meaningless without strength and Jesus is Strength Himself.
Jesus Says:
In Revelations 3: 20 :
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”
Make Romans 10: 9 Your Prayer:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
