I was having my morning devotion when I stumbled on this phrase “believe and therefore speak” in 2 Corinthians 4:13. Speaking nice and sweet things are so easy when the sailing is smooth but we tend to whine, moan and doubt what we actually believe when storm hits us. And so I meditated on the verse and came up with these:
I believe in God’s perfect love and so I speak that through all my imperfections, I am sure that He loves me just the same.
I believe in God’s everlasting faithfulness and so I speak that in life’s up’s and down’s, I know that He always got my back.
I believe in God’s amazing grace and so I speak that even in my weaknesses, I got His enabling grace to be the woman He wants me to be.
I believe in God’s perfect timing and so I speak that though the agony of waiting wears me out at times, I shall contend in faith.
I believe in God’s impeccable plan and so I speak that when my plan fails, I shall still continue planning but will be open to God’s innovations.
I believe that God has always His ways of teaching me and so I speak that in tensions and pressures, I shall choose to listen to what He’s telling me.
I believe that God always deserves the highest praise and so I speak that even if I don’t feel like praising, I will praise Him anyway.
I believe that God can do miracles and so I speak that even when current situations lures me to doubt, I shall continue to walk by faith and not by sight.
I believe that GOD has in store great things for me and so I speak that no matter how great challenges may come, I shall keep my eyes on Him.
I believe that GOD is taking me from glory to glory and so I speak that no matter how many victories I have already conquered, I know that the best is yet to come!
Declare what you believe and believe what you declare. Make no mistake; HIS promises shall surely come to pass.
“It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak…” 2 Cor 4:13, NIV

Hello!
Calvary greetings to you in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(I know this is the most inappropriate means of connecting with you…but this is the avenue I could find. Please forgive me.)
I thank God for your life and the awesome work you are doing on Spark From Afar!
I pray for more wisdom, grace and strength for you in Jesus name!
My name (in short) is Tim and I am the founder of the newly unveiled Christian Social Community: http://www.rhemalog.com
If I may crave your indulgence, I will quickly like to intimate you on our purpose, goals and objectives.
The name Rhemalog is a compound word, coined from both “Rhema” and “Log”.
It means, putting into writing(Log), your encounters in the Word of God(Rhema).
That is, sharing with the beloved, the things that God has shown unto you in His Word.
Rhemalog was established by the leading of the Holy Spirit, as a platform to enrich and impact the body of Christ all over the World!
You will agree with me that there is a lot of degradation going on.
Abuse, spiritual contaminations, mental pollutions and attacks on our faith.
All you need is to refresh your social-media pages long enough…then boom!
There you have it, in your face!
But.
Wouldnt it be awesome to have a sanctified environment?
A platform built solely for the Children of God.
Devoid of negativity around us, but filled with inspirations, encouragements and above all, the WORD OF GOD!
A breath of fresh air.
Family friendly, conducive, loving and embracing.
Your own family of fellow brethren, encouraging, building, cheering on and strengthening each other on a daily basis!
This is our driving force.
The clarion call that moved us to put Rhemalog in place.
And this is our call to you: Would you like to join us?
As one of the (Christian) thinkers and opinion-makers out there, logically, it is a no-brainer that we need you, especially since our main goal is to ensure that the people are well fed.
We need your insightful thoughts. Inspirational ideas. Well written pieces. We need YOU!
We need you, not only as a member, but also as an A-List contributor.
And we already have all the tools required.
– Personal Blogging feature
– Video sharing
– Community pages (think facebook pages)
– Timelines and profiles
– Pictures, etc
Together, we can build one of the most vibrant and impact-full communities out there.
Should you decide to join us now:
– Your personal blog and info will be shared on our social media pages (with over 67,000 members)
– As an early adopter, you will be a part of a huge and influential community at its infant stage.
– Your community page will be featured, if you create one. Meaning, it will come up first in searches and views (with its own cute ribbon)
– You can host all your youtube and vimeo videos, thereby increasing your viewer-ship and enhancing your reach.
Well, “gold and silver” we have not.
But can you help us be a blessing to the children of God out there?
It will be a huge honour and we will be waiting for you.
The first step is to be registered. Duration of your submissions will be totally up to you. To keep up though, we would suggest you begin by sharing the links to your blog posts, later on, you can start doing reblogs or creating unique postings using our blog feature.
However, in-between, we would love your quips, wits, quotes and words of wisdom, posted on your homepage timeline. We consider these to be quick tonic for the soul…snacks for those in hurried need of inspiration and motivations.
Whichever option you choose, we cannot wait to have a drink from the fountain of your God-given wisdom.
Thanks and may God continually keep His face shining on you.
Yours in Christ,
Tim (Rhemalog Community)
