Learning Buddies

Happy birthday Sparkle.

God doesn't just say things, He sows it like a seed. That was the first primary purpose of Man because it is the nature of God Himself, He placed man on earth to till the ground..
So when God says something, that word becomes a seed, a living thing...like a woman carrying a child.

Many of us don't have Faith that is even half of a mustard seed, we just hope that the good things would happen.

And when they don't, we feel disappointed.

Hope relies on physical causes to make things happen. The mother actually have to leave work, enter a car and drive to pick up her child, the mother is not present unless she is seen.

Faith can never be manipulated by physical things or circumstances like how a baby forms in the mother's womb...unseen yet present.

It is not bad to have HOPE.

You can have hope without faith but you can NEVER have Faith without hope.

Faith is what fuels your hope, it is backed by God's word. So even when you see things that would make you feel disappointed, Faith kicks in and you find yourself rejoicing again.

Expecting and preparing.

Let's talk about Faith
Luke 17:6
"If your faith were only the size of a musturd seed, Jesus answered, it would be large enough to uproot that mulberry tree over there and send it hurtling into the sea! Your commands would bring immediate results."

The question is "do we even have Faith?" You see if you truly think about it, you will realize that most of us don't have Faith, what we have is HOPE.

Now what is the difference between Faith and hope?
Hope is expecting something good to happen
Faith is believing it has happened.
While Hope waits, Faith prepares.

Let's use an expectant mother to describe having Faith. A woman who is pregnant with a child does not have hope that she will have a baby to hold and train, she knows it so she finds herself preparing for the arrival of the child.

Faith implies that the moment you believe it, you have it. Jesus said "your command would bring IMMEDIATE results"

Let's describe hope like this, a mother tells her child "I will pick you up from school" when the school closes all the child has to do is WAIT. The child is expecting the mother to come so she waits. Now this is where many of us feel disappointment, because as the child is waiting she sees other children been picked up, as every car turns into the school she is expecting to see her mother. So she waits but as time passes on, she begins to feel disappointed.

That's not Faith! Faith doesn't just wait, Faith prepares and faith can NEVER disappoint.

Would a pregnant woman see another woman with children and be feeling disappointed? Asking "God when?" Crying that she doesn't have her own kids?
No! Why? Because she is pregnant, Infact seeing other women with children excites her and makes her anticipate meeting her own child. Her joy increases not reduces.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering support and partnership throughout the academic session. Your involvement and encouragement have played a significant role in your child's growth and success.

Your contributions, whether by paying their school fees, going the extra mile to hire the services of a private tutor or simply being a steady presence in your child's educational journey, have not gone unnoticed. I am grateful for the trust you have placed in us as teachers to educate and nurture your children.

Thank you for being an important part of the kids learning process. I look forward to continued collaboration in the future.

Sincerely,
Ms Jessica.
