Faith comes

“So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.”Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Faith came to me through a process. The Lord caused two women to be planted in my nurse’s training group who were born again. There were a few of us who were Catholics and we would debate and argue with these women, but I could not deny the fact that they shone. They invited me to a nurse’s Christian fellowship and I encountered the word for the first time for myself. All the while God was making me discontent and hungry. Finally, He came to me and convicted me of my sin and led me to one of the women who opened her bible and shared the John 3:16 scripture and my eyes were opened. I remember saying, “I can see, I can see!” I prayed and asked for forgiveness and that Jesus would come into my heart. The joy I experienced was inexpressible. I was floating on air.

All will have a different experience. However, an encounter with Jesus and His word is inevitable. The word of God is made alive and we see. He is peace, joy, contentment and best of all a friend. Attending a church group comes next as we need to grow. I attended a youth group first, then a Sunday church service. I enjoyed it all because I had found Jesus.

Praying and reading the word of God for myself is also imperative. I need to develop my relationship with my God and hear Him speak into my life. I also need to pray for others as now I also need to share the good news. It is very good news! Amen!
