*Article 001*** *Facts, fears, worries and THE TRUTH* * * By Chamu Delight * * *Col** 3 vs. 1-2 *Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep focusing on the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Keep your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth. What an exciting topic to write a letter of encouragement on. In life *FACTS *are considered *THE TRUTH* in which I beg to differ. *FACTS* according to the Oxford dictionary are used to refer to a particular situation that exists and *TRUTH *is defined as the quality or state of being based on fact. *I believe that not all facts are truth but all truth are facts.*Consider this, your bank account may be at $ 0 and you are broke. That’s a Facts but the TRUTH is that you are prosperous and you lend to many but borrow from none that’s according to the bible. Jesus said in John 16 vs. 13 “Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all truth”. He didn’t say *Facts*. So let’s stop wasting our time dwelling on *Facts* but rather know the* TRUTH*. However in life, I’ve observed and learnt that when a fact presents itself it’s hard to just brush it off because it’s all that fleshly eyes can see as it’s easy to see a fact. But the truth my brothers and sisters comes through the knowledge of God, it’s revealed by the *Holy Spirit*. That’s why if you are broke and tell an unbeliever/ or sometimes a believer that you are rich, blessed and prosperous they don’t see it coz they don’t have the knowledge of God and the Holy Spirit haven’t revealed to them. I know the *TRUTH* goes beyond a fact and what the eye can see. Negative facts always breeds fear and worrying but the bible teaches us not to fear and worry. So the question is who do you trust and represent when you worry. One thing I now know is that when fear creeps in your life worrying is inevitable. Pastor Tom said *“Worrying only changes the worrier not the thing being worried about”* because you are only one who will suffer from high blood pressure, fever and headache but the thing being worried about doesn’t change if you don’t take action. So they is no need to worry if you are convince that your God, our God will supply our needs according to His riches and Glory in Christ Jesus. Who is the way*, TRUTH* and the life. Fear and worry only robs you that you are left with but the *TRUTH *which is God’s word will set you FREE and give you strength, authority and power. Lastly, don’t let facts that are contrary to the word of God (*TRUTH*) define you, you are more than that. Learn to affirm Gods word concerning you. Be reminded that it is Christ in us the hope of Glory, who is the way, the *TRUTH* and the life. Be encouraged. Guys I know that I was unleashed to encourage others, so this is my first edition of my series of letters. I like what Chief Milton & Tsungie said that let us share from our experiences not just forwarding e-mail to each other. I like Jethro’s testimony I can relate to that because he shares from his heart lets learn from that... -- Delight Chamu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tribewithavibe" group.
