I Still Believe (Movie)

  


    Have you heard about Jeremy camp and Melissa Henning? You've got to hear their story. Watch the movie I STILL BELIEVE. 
    People have questions about God, a lot of questions and seeking answers. They ask, why is my prayer not answered? is there really a God? why did God allow this to happen to me? etc. There are lots and lots of questions like that in the heart of many. Yet also, there are those who have concluded in their hearts to turn against God because of what they perceive as a failure on the part of God. Some have turned away from him because of some prayers they didn't get answers too, especially those if the life of a loved one is lost. 
    Meet Jeremy Camp, an American contemporary gospel music singer and songwriter. A young man who went through series of situations that tested his faith in God. Despite all he passed through, though he was brokenhearted, he stood and said i still believe


    Meet Melissa Lynn Henning-Camp, her faith and trust in God till the very end is so challenging. Even after she'd gone to be with the Lord, her words help revive the love of her life -Jeremy- when he was down in his spirit and losing all hope. A young woman of faith, trust, hope.


    Their life story is very challenging. Is it the faith and trust Melissa had in God, till the very end? Or Jeremy's hope and trust and strength to stand for God despite all. Hmm, I recommend it. Please get it. To those who turned their backs on God because they prayed and got no answer, or because they faced tragedy, I highly recommend this movie for you. It's a life story, it happened real.
    
    You've got to hear their story.. Watch I STILL BELIEVE. After that, get his song I Still Believe and the lyric.


I hope and pray that their story will help you in whatever situation you might be facing presently. Never lose hope, and never stop trusting God. Keep your faith in Him. He's got you.


I hope you're that person. Come to Jesus today, He wants you!
SAY THIS PRAYER 
Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I admit I am a sinner and I need You. I believe that You died for my sins and arose again. Please forgive me all my sins, wash me with Your blood, write my name in the Book of Life. Make me Your child from now on. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus name. Amen.



I Still Believe            

Scattered words and empty thoughts                        
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems I don't know where to start
But it's now that I feel your grace fall like rain            
From every fingertip, washing away my pain
'Cause I still believe in your faithfulness
'Cause I still believe in your truth
'Cause I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe
Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises I still seem to bear
For even when answers slowly unwind
It's my heart I see you prepare
But it's now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every finger tip, washing away my pain
'Cause I still believe in your faithfulness
'Cause I still believe in your truth
'Cause I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe
Well, the only place I can go is into your arms
Where I throw to you my feeble prayers
Well, in brokenness I can see that this was your will for me
Help me to know you are near
'Cause I still believe in your faithfulness
'Cause I still believe in your truth
'Cause I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe
'Cause I still believe
'Cause I still believe
'Cause I still believe'
'Cause I still believe
'Cause I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
I still believe

THERE'S HOPE (Ebunife Notes)

 Are you breathing? Check again, are you breathing? Then I have news for you, there's still hope. 

There are a lot of things going on around us in the world today, many things that could make us compare ourselves with others and thereby making us see our inadequacies, errors, flaws, etc.. 

But let me ask again, are you breathing? So God is not done with you. 

Take away your focus from others. Take your eyes away from anything that is not God. When we shift our focus away from God, when we take our eyes off Him, we try to direct our lives ourselves thereby causing frustrations and all. 

Just keep your eyes on Jesus. 

You're alive and breathing is a chance to take the right decisions, it's another chance to get right with God if you're not yet His child, it's a chance to choose right.

Don't relegate yourselves or think low and shallow about yourself. You're needed by your generation. Seek God so you can find your purpose. He created you, you are not a mistake. I repeat, you are not a mistake. God loves you unconditionally and He so desires that you live without struggle. But He won't force you. 

There's hope, get right with God.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.  (Proverbs 3:5-6)

YOU COULD BE TEMPTED WITH WHAT YOU PREACH (Ebunife Notes)



I was to preach in an online Bible study meeting early this week. The message was centered on how we are to relate with others.

Funny enough, the temptation started just hours before the meeting commenced. My siblings did some things that annoyed me, but I knew they didn't mean it. Yet I was upset and I couldn't even pen down my message till it was time for the meeting. 

I was like, what am I to talk about? And then I got upset with the topic because I became totally blank. 

But I did what I always do; I told the Holy Spirit to have His way. And mehn, God did it. 

As I started to type on my phone, to begin teaching, words just started coming. And I knew it wasn't me. God really is faithful, and He will not let us down when we call to Him. People were blessed, and I praise God for it. 

But it didn't stop there.. Satan came again. 

This time it was almost 3am. I woke up and found out my siblings had done the same thing I got upset with. I knew they didn't mean it, yet I was like why now again? I lay down back to sleep but couldn't. I was literally fuming and I could feel my heart heating up. I felt so angry that I couldn't stop it. Then thoughts of what to do in return to them started floating in my mind. Deep down I knew it's wrong, I had even just taught about not repaying evil for evil and to love from the heart, yet the anger didn't go down. I knew it wasn't normal, devil put it there and was fanning it to flame quickly. 

But very silently, like a wisp of breath, almost nonexistent, I felt impressed on me to get something else to do. I didn't. It remained in me. Just to stop thinking and do something else. 
Finally, I picked my phone and just scrolled through my message inbox. The messages were not relevant, mostly messages from the network providers, but as I shifted my mind off the anger and to the phone the heat in my heart went out. I went on to continue a story I was reading on my phone. The anger went out totally, and I started wondering where it came from in the first place. 

I continued reading, and when my sister woke up I found myself smiling and joking with her. The event that caused the anger became insignificant.

I was okay. Then God surprised me again; He suddenly made a way for the problem, that made me angry, to be solved. 

I was surprised.

Then I felt God say to me, 'I will always help you. I will always be there for you.'

As if that wasn't enough, Satan brought another one. This temptation was really strong on me, it was a battle of my mind, so strong that I thought I would fall. But I kept saying, God please, God please. I didn't know what else to say at that moment. Even as I said God please, I wasn't sure I won't fall. 
But God helped me, it died down. The intensity suddenly was gone after a few minutes. 

Then sleep claim me. 

I woke up this morning and I know I had been in a battle, not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against spiritual wickedness in high places; but thanks to God for the victory. 

2 Corinthians 10:4-5  
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Hallelujah!! 

*smiles*

We should take note, those things we got from God's word and even the ones we preach could be used in the practical to tempt us. Satan is so subtle that he won't let us quickly know what he's doing or that he's the one behind it. 
But always, always seek the help of the Holy Spirit and obey Him. The Holy Spirit will always be there with and for us, bringing to our remembrance what we ought to do.

Weekend Plans (Ebunife Notes)



Hi everyone! So nice to write to you again.

It's Friday, Happy weekend !!!

Friday normally bring smiles on people's faces. For students, end of school work for the week. For workers, end of work stress for the week. For businesses such as clubs, more money for them as people will troop in during the weekends for parties,dates or just to have a nice time.

But also, the weekend could be harness for something more.

It could be a time to spend with God without haste or disturbance.

It could be a time to slot in that Christian movie and cuddle with loved ones and watch.

It could be a time to go out to evangelise.

It could be a time to party in the Holy Ghost. Just slot in that song, turn up the volume as loud as you'd want and dance.

It could be a time to learn something new.

The weekend is an opportunity to make good plans for our lives and career.

The weekend, about 72 hours, shouldn't be wasted but made use of profitably.


What's your plan for this weekend??

Love you all.. ❤️

THE WORD, OUR LIFE (Ebunife Notes)



Matthew 4:4


Man shall not live by bread alone. But by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. 

Food isn't enough to sustain a man. Wealth and material treasures are not enough to sustain a man. 

Only the word of God gives life. Only the word of God sustains a man. 

Spend time in the word daily.

Study the Bible. 

Think on the word. 

Fill your thoughts with the word of God. 

The word has the power to produce life. The word has the power to transform. 

If you want to see any change in your life, you have to get into the word of God. 
Let the word become your life. 

Read it, Think it, Live it.

HAPPY SUNDAY (Ebunife Note)

Hi everyone, how are you doing today?
Though church buildings are not fully opened yet, the church of Christ is not the building. We are the church, you and I.

We may not be able to meet in those buildings to fellowship for now, but that doesn't stop us from serving our Lord together.

Thank God for the internet. The world is now a global village. We can meet online and fellowship together.

Till the buildings be opened again, hopefully soon, keep in fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

Love you but Christ Jesus loves the most!

SPECIAL TO GOD (Ebunife Notes)

Can God create something that is not good? Can God make a mistake? 
You are unique, special, wonderfully made. You are not a mistake. Don't look down on yourself because of what others think or say about you. Even if others cast you aside, you are special to Someone who is above everyone - you are special to God. And He is able to bring you out of nowhere to somewhere just like He did to David. 
Trust Him, He has a great plan for you. 
Jeremiah 29:11

REAL JOY (Poem)



There's food on my table
The woman by my side is beautiful
Everything I do people marvel
Wondering why I am always able.

But deep in me is a porthole
It may have been dug by the troll
I wish I could say I know
All I can wish for is to be whole.

Longing to have it filled
I searched the whole field
And then I met Him
In whom my salvation is.

I thought I had all
And love never seen in this world
But when I met my saviour
Then I knew real joy.

***
