Looking Back

For those of us called to lead a congregation or have a specific ministry to share the Holy scriptures with them that are called to life in our Lord Christ, the motivation to continue in this work can be difficult at times. We may feel overwhelmed, discouraged, confuse on the best way to deal with the problems faced by the body of believers we minister to or even our private battles. It is in moments like these that we should look back to the study of the history of the great men and women of God and the great movements God did through them for inspiration to continue in our work.
The study of the lives of the saints in the Holy scripture is  a tool that God left us for those pivotal moments in our lives when our faith would be shaken. In Romans15:4, it state's that the things written in the past were written for our learning or study to the intent that our hope and confidence may be firm in God. We also understand that the saints of God, men and women like Abraham and Sarah, or Moses and Aaron,  Judith, Ester, and Ruth, David and Paul etc., did all their great acts through faith in God( Hebrews 11). Also, the demonstration of God's power and divine intervention in the lives of the followers of God and the history of the day, as it is written, inspires in us the same kind of faith that they had in God. Therefore, if we, the saints of today and the labors in the message of God, abide in faith also, as our models and forefathers did, we can be certain that we can do great things as well because of faith( John 14:11,12). We can meet the challenges of this day by looking back to go forward.
And through the Holy scripture, we fight our battles and war a good warfare until the Kingdom is ours. Because we put our hope and faith in the God that gathered them and caused them to be written for our learning of Him ( 1 Tim. 1:18).

Remember:
2 Peter 1:20,21
The Bible is not inspire by the ideas and opinions of mere mortals, but by holy men of God who  wrote as He directed them to write. And we know that it is truth, for all that God said would come to past and would come in our days, has come to past and is coming to past daily. Amen
