Hello, everyone, my name is Mpho Thulo, and yet again this is an awesome privilege- the Empowerment Sessions is an amazing platform where we can come together and just learn the principles of the kingdom of God.
Today we are on PART 3- of our CALLED OUT SERIES called, HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
Do you know that although faith is a personal spiritual journey, you can actually mature better when you have a mentor- someone to guide you and be of help? And most importantly to
have the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you. On our paths to creating the life that is pleasing to God, there are so many obstacles that come in-between that causes us to sometimes get us stuck, such as fears, self-limiting beliefs, traditional or cultural diversities. It takes knowing and understanding the Word of God to build your muscle of faith and rediscover who you are- your God-given purpose, callings and abilities.
Abraham is our greatest example of some who exercised his faith in God and because of that, he was named a friend of God. He believed God.
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
But without faith, it is impossible to please Him: for him, that
cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder
of them that diligently seek Him.
The main topic of this session’s straight forward. I used to ask this question, should my faith be any different than the people/ characters in the Bible, or any human being on the face of the earth?
I have shared my testimony with you, my spiritual background included to observe, to engage in the practices and rituals of traditional beliefs like ukuthwasa and also attendance of Christian church services. All these things that I did observe were not pleasing to God, because they were not faith according to the will of God. They were man-made channels. Should my faith be any different just because I'm an African or I live in the continent of Africa?
This question is NO! Our faith in God shouldn’t be limited by the culture we are born into.
