Build your faith wisely
Build your dwelling place wisely
When the fierce wind blows
The storm lashes vehemently
The floods come, the house built on rock will stand.
Likewise, build your faith strongly.
Christianity is built on a personal relationship
With our GOD and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST
Developing faith and trust in HIS PERSON,
His HOLY, Righteous and Compassionate character;
Our soul then becomes HIS spiritual dwelling place,
Our Lord becomes our ROCK and FORTRESS.
Faith is believing in the gift of Salvation
Through CHRIST’s Redemption;
It is a faith founded on trusting that the inner working of
The HOLY Spirit of JESUS in our soul,
Will help us withstand the onslaughts of trials and temptations.
When darkness threatens and storm blasts prevail,
Such deep faith in the LOVING PROVIDENCE of GOD
And the PROMISE of CHRIST to be our steadfast anchor will avail.
CHRIST”S RESURRECTION POWER will work through us
To overcome and defeat evil;
We are more than conquerors through CHRIST who loves us.
There is no darkness, GOD’s LIGHT cannot penetrate
There is no evil, GOD’s omnipotent power cannot subdue;
Almighty GOD has sovereignty over all –
In heaven, on earth and in hell;
Every knee will bow, every tongue confess
That JESUS is LORD.
Listen to our Saviour: ‘Be not afraid,
I’m with you always, right to the end of the ages.’
What more wonderful words of promise do we need?
Let us believe that a loving GOD who is willing
To lay down HIS life for a worthless sinner
Can be trusted to keep faithfully HIS PROMISE of succour
And grace.
