ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
A poem and essay by ILMA
If you believe that you are a true child of God
Anything is possible to those who bring him laud
If you ask the Lord Jesus in his mighty name
You will get answers and receive his grace.
If you have faith even just like a mustard seed
Even the most hardened heart will give in and you’ll win
To those who are doubtful, hopeless and have no faith
They will never move mountains or change their fate.

Faith is easy to find to those who live in third world countries. They have no one else to run to but the Lord. They learn to live day by day and watch how God provides. It is amazing to find those living in poverty can even smile in the midst of such suffering. Their faces light up when even very little comfort is added in their usual difficult lives. They are so grateful. Those who live in first world countries and have everything they need sometimes find it hard to be appreciative of little blessings they receive.
The bible says that anything is possible to those who believe. This is why Abraham became the father of all nations. At the age of almost 100, they bore a child as God promised. Because of his faith, he became father of all nations.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to increase my faith daily.
REFLECTION
How much faith do you have? How has God grown your belief?

You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32 (NLT)
THE TRUE BELIEVER
A poem and essay by ILMA
A true believer is someone who abides in Christ
He serves only one true God and he lives in the light
He is hungry to know Jesus and follow his ways
He reveres the Lord and is not easily tempted or swayed.
A true disciple remains faithful to Christ’s teachings
He never doubts or waivers; he focuses on praising
He seeks the truth so he is never corrupted by the world
He is wise because he constantly feed on God’s word.

Christianity is ranked the largest religion in the world today. According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, in 2010 there were 2.18 billion Christians around the world, nearly a third of the global population. How much of these Christian population are true believers?
I have been a believer for five decades, but I couldn’t claim I was a true disciple during these years. I came from a religion that didn’t really instill a hunger for God’s word. It taught me to just follow rules. God set me free and showed me what a true believer is. The bible says that if you remain faithful to the truth and his teachings, then you are a true disciple.
PRAYER
Lord, give me a heart that will seek you and serve you only.
REFLECTION
How can one be a true disciple in this corrupted world?
