Word of Hope for Today with PRC
Message: Why Do Men Fail in Life?
“With Men It is impossible but with God all things are
possible.” - Luke 1:37; Mathew 19:27; Hebrews 11:1
Today’s Insight:
The major answer is due to lack of Faith.
The major answer is due to lack of Faith.
Many people defines faith as -if i see it then i will
believed it or "To see is to
believe" but that's not faith all about Faith is something that we read
from God's Word or His Promises and we believed that Word or His Promises by
Faith that it will become into reality which means Believed first what God said
and then you will see it. In the Book of
Hebrews there a lot of impossible things that men of God did but they succeeded
because God shows His powers but there were also died and not able to achieve
the promises but their faith still continuous;
Hebrews 11:1 New Living Translation (NLT)
Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the
evidence of things we cannot see.
Great Examples of Faith (Hebrews 11:2- 40 NLT)
2 Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a
good reputation.
3 By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed
at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be
seen.
4 It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering
to God than Cain did. Abel’s offering gave evidence that he was a righteous
man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he
still speaks to us by his example of faith.
5 It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without
dying—“he disappeared, because God took him.”a For before he was taken up, he
was known as a person who pleased God. 6And it is impossible to please God
without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and
that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
7 It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his
family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had
never happened before. By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and
he received the righteousness that comes by faith.
8 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to
leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance.
He went without knowing where he was going. 9 And even when he reached the land
God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living
in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise. 10
Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a
city designed and built by God.
11 It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child,
though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his
promise. 12 And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as
dead—a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand
on the seashore, there is no way to count them.
13 All these people died still believing what God had
promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from
a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads
here on earth. 14 Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a
country they can call their own. 15 If they had longed for the country they
came from, they could have gone back. 16 But they were looking for a better
place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their
God, for he has prepared a city for them.
17 It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice
when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready
to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, 18 even though God had told him, “Isaac is
the son through whom your descendants will be counted.”c 19 Abraham reasoned
that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a
sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead.
20 It was by faith that Isaac promised blessings for the
future to his sons, Jacob and Esau.
21 It was by faith that Jacob, when he was old and dying,
blessed each of Joseph’s sons and bowed in worship as he leaned on his staff.
22 It was by faith that Joseph, when he was about to die,
said confidently that the people of Israel would leave Egypt. He even commanded
them to take his bones with them when they left.
23 It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three
months when he was born. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and
they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command.
24 It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to
be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
25 He chose to share the oppression of God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin.
26 He thought it was better to suffer for the sake of Christ than to own the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his great reward. 27 It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible.
28It was by faith that Moses commanded the people of Israel to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons.

29 It was by faith that the people of Israel went right
through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians
tried to follow, they were all drowned.
30 It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around
Jericho for seven days, and the walls came crashing down.
31 It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not
destroyed with the people in her city who refused to obey God. For she had
given a friendly welcome to the spies.
32 How much more do I need to say? It would take too long to
recount the stories of the faith of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David,
Samuel, and all the prophets. 33 By faith these people overthrew kingdoms,
ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the
mouths of lions,
34 quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the
edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in
battle and put whole armies to flight. 35 Women received their loved ones back
again from death.
But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order
to be set free. They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection.
36 Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were
chained in prisons. 37 Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half,d and
others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and
goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. 38 They were too good for this
world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the
ground.
39 All these people earned a good reputation because of
their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised. 40 For God
had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection
without us.
In my life my dream was to graduate in the #1 Private
University in the Philippines which is De La Salle University in B.S. Civil
Engineering Course but my parents can't afford it because of very high tuition fees but this dream was passed on
to my two daughters and by faith I said to myself that our daughters would be graduated from the #1 Prestigious Private University which is De La Salle
University. So I trust God and exert efforts (God helps to those who help
themselves) to send them on this University. By God's help and strategy to work
as Oversea Filipino Worker these two daughters of mind graduated successfully
from De La Salle University. I thank God because If I rely only in ourselves
with my wife and without faith in God they would have not been completed
their studies. It is our faith in God that our daughters completed their
studies in this prestigious university.
I like What Doctor Luke and Mathew wrote in the Bible; Jesus said, 'With God all things are possible' (Matthew 19:26). ... It is the power of God that makes what seems impossible possible. Nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37).
