Perservering Faith!

Hi all, sharing from Paul Pajo's latest blog

hmm i'm blog-citing recently.. as the saying u goes: if u can't share anything nice.. share someone else's thoughts! :)

==========================================

Jim Laffoon's today is challenging - there are times when we have to
be very very tenacious to receiving the blessing from God. For the full
message click here:

"What lessons can we learn from the miraculous resurrection of the Shunammite’s son?

First,
unlike Gehazi, who quit too quickly, Elisha persevered until the child
had been raised from the dead. It is no different for you and me today;
there are certain things in the Kingdom of God which take both faith
and patience.

Without these qualities, we may never see the fullness of the very promises God has made to us.

Second,
when Elisha entered the room where the child was lying, he shut the
door. Shutting the door was not just a natural act. When he shut the
door, he was also shutting out all the despair and unbelief radiating
from both the Shunammite’s husband and their extended family.

This
is a critical principle for your life. There are times when your need
for faith will be so vital that you will have no choice but to shut
yourself away with God until you have received the faith you need.

May God give you the faith to experience the fullness of His resurrection power as you contemplate Elisha’s example today."
