He is Our Backer, Not Backup

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Hebrews 12:2 – “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God”

An author is defined both as "the person who originates or gives existence to anything" and as "one who sets forth written statements" in the Oxford English Dictionary. This definition suggests that authorship determines responsibility for what is created.

Jesus is the Biographer. He writes the prologue, story & epilogue of our faith, IF WE LET HIM. But, unfortunately, what we do is we attempt to do it first.

We attempt to do our things first, without involving Him from the beginning. We go off each day without asking Him to take control of the day. We fix our lives, fix our marriages, and fix that child.

We try to fix that church program, fix that brother or sister, work out, and strategize on how to plan our future. Never asking God for His advice until all is said and done and we are in a  mess up.

Oh, don’t we mess things up! Then we remember Him. The mess is so big the only one who could fix it is Jesus.

The Lord simply wants us to look to Him, not after the mess is too big for us to handle – but in a ll we do we should seek the Lord.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed. Shalom.
