MY VERY OWN FLYER DESIGN!
Good day parishioners,knowing about the great initiative that has just come up here on steemchurch shouldn't be surprising to anyone, reason being you're also a dedicated member of the steemchurch.
We all must have heard about the new CHEESE! here on steemchurch- the idea of opening a website for the steemchurch. I see this as a great step of faith towards achieving a great goal that is going to be beneficial to every one.
This is why i have created a little flyer/banner for the website. Just my little way of showing support to this great movement.
Now, i'd love to give a little talk on faith.
It is not only when we pray that we are required to exercise faith; it is also essential in dealing with everyday challenges that may surface. The rule of faith is this; we first talk with God in prayer, and then rise to talk with situations. In confronting a dead situation, Peter first prayed, and then turned to Dorcas, commanding her to arise.
In the bible, there have been some exceptional showcases of faith that have amazed even Jesus himself
1. The Roman officer
– Matthew 8:5-13
"When Jesus returned ... a Roman officer came and pleaded with him ... Jesus said, "I will come and heal him." But the officer said, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed ... When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following Him, he said, "I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all Israel!"
Here's a man who knew exactly what authority is about. This Roman officer knew that Jesus Christ had such authority that he believed that his request for the healing of his dear servant would be given him without the need for Jesus to personally come, but only needed to "say the word."
Does your faith in God allow you to believe that His word will do what it says?
2. The woman with an issue of blood
Mark 5:25-34
"A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding ... She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind Him through the crowd and touched His robe. For she thought to herself, 'If I can just touch His robe, I will be healed.' Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition ... Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realisation of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of Him and told Him what she had done. And He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.'"
This is another powerful story in the bible. This old woman really struggled through the pressing crowds to "just touch [Jesus'] robe," because she had believed she would be healed if she could just do that. She didn't need Jesus Christ to touch her, or speak words to her at all.
She only needed to touch Him and experience His power.
How about you? Does your faith allow you to believe that even just a slight touch of Jesus' presence will heal you of whatever you are suffering from?
3. The Gentile woman
She replied, 'That's true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters' table.' 'Dear woman,' Jesus said to her, 'your faith is great. Your request is granted.' And her daughter was instantly healed."
