  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There is a very popular Scripture in Isaiah 40;31-which reads;them that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.They shall mount up with wings as eagles.They shall run and not be weary,they shall walk and not faint.
The metaphor used here is that of an eagle mounting up high with its strong wings.

The fact is that the eagle is the king of the birds.Scientifically,it has been proven that the eagle can spy its prey five miles away because it has very powerful microscopic eyes.It can also live for over thirty years.Some scientists even believe that the eagle is able to live for probably fifty years and over.

In the Bible it says that those who wait upon the Lord,those who forsake themselves,make sacrifices and pay a dear price to wait on the Lord,the Bible says they will renew their strength,they will mount up with wings like the eagle.This is the reason why when you see praying men and women,their flesh probably looks young and fresh,they may be growing in age but you will find that they are growing stronger in faith.They are often bold,confident and strong on the inside.I have also noticed that people who often fast and pray,keep looking younger all the time though they may be growing in old age.This is because the more you wait in the presence of God,the more He breathes over you and the more His presence overshadows you and you renew your strength,you will run and not be weary and you will walk and not faint.Beacause Moses stayed continually in the presence of the Lord,the Bible says that at 120 years his eyes were not dim neither was his natural force abated.[Duet.34;7].

If in the past,you have felt faint and weary,if you easily became tired,then one thing you will need to do is to wait on the Lord.As you wait on the Lord,God will infuse,inject and vaccinate you with His power and you will be energized to rise to fulfill your God-give destiny.

The other name given to prayer is watching.Jesus said to his disciples whilst He was praying with them so you could not watch with me even one hour.Here,He was feferring to prayer as He did in Matthew 26;41 when He said watch and pray.

God Bless.
