Good morning family…today i will like to share the devotional that got me started.
Text: Hebrews 11:1-2 “now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not yet see. This is what the ancients were commended for”.
Faith is an important part of the Christian race. Faith is the very core or the foundation of our salvation. Eph. 2:8 says, “We are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus not by works that any man may boast”. Given the importance of faith, we are commanded to live by faith and not by sight (1 Cor 5:7).
Faith is the spiritual force that makes the unseen realities become visible manifestations. Faith is believing the unbelievable, doing the undoable and daring the impossible.
Understanding Key Concepts about Faith
1). Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). There is no faith if the word is absent. The word of God is the food for faith. That is, faith is starved when your word intake is low.
2). Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:6)
3). Faith is a partnership between humanity and divinity in order to establish the impossible possible on the earth. God can do anything, anytime, anywhere but he wants to do it in response to our faith.
Beloved, live by faith and not by sight. Daily feed your faith on the word of God. Do not be moved by what is happening around but be moved by what the word of God says. Faith can move mountains but faithlessness creates mountains.
Action: Daily study the word of God in order to grow your faith
Prayer: father, I live by faith and not by sight. I am not moved by what is happening around, I am moved by your word in Jesus name.
Peace be with you all!
