FAITH THAT WORKS

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

Hebrews 11:1-2

Faith is an important subject. Faith is a serious matter. The Bible declares that without faith it is impossible to please God. So, faith pleases God. Faith gets God on the scene.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6

What is faith?

1.            Faith is a law. There are natural laws. Faith is a spiritual law. Just like natural laws, faith works all the time as long as the right conditions are met. Meaning genuine faith works all the time like clockwork and produces results.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.

Romans 3:27

2.            Faith is believing and speaking. Faith is not just mere believing. You have to express your faith by speaking what you believe.

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.

2 Corinthians 4:13

3.            Faith is believing and acting. It is not enough that you just believe. You have to act out your faith, because faith without works is dead.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

James 2:26

 

There is much to be said about faith. There is faith that creates, faith that moves mountains, faith that slays giants and faith for the miraculous. Glory to God! When you have faith, you can change things and you can get God on the scene.

Thought of the day: Faith changes things and faith gets God on the scene.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me faith. Thank You that my faith grows and becomes strong when I study Your Word, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong

WAGE WAR WITH PROPHECY

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. 1 Timothy 1:18 If you have a prophecy spoken over your life it is time for warfare. It is time to wage war with your prophecy. Take the prophecy spoken over you and put it in your mouth. Speak the same prophecy over your life. Agree with God. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 Speak the same things with God. That is faith, faith speaks the same things with God and we overcome by our faith. Faith will put you over and it will make you an overcomer. Use your faith to wage war. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Put up a good fight and fight the good fight of faith. You have to fight in order to win. Wage war with prophecy. If there is no prophecy spoken over you, there is nothing to it. Use the Word and speak the Word over

GOD REWARDS RIGHTEOUS LIVING

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. 2 Samuel 22:21 Righteousness according to the Old Testament is righteous living. However, in the New Testament we have received the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ. When David in the Old Testament said that the LORD rewarded him according to his righteousness, he is essentially saying that the LORD rewarded him for his righteous living. Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 The above Scripture would then mean: “Say to those who live righteously that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” God rewards righteous living. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself right now, if you would continue living righteously, living according to God’s Word sooner than later your life would begin to change. You can turn things around as you live righteously.
