Your Faith in God

“Substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen”

I believe that a Christian cannot be cursed — this belief stems from my complete faith in the Living God and the Rhema Word as written in the scriptures.

If I asked the question what is faith? You’ll most probably answer that; “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen” — Yes it’s true of the definition above according to Hebrews 11:1. If asked to define “substance” and “evidence” many people will be lost, especially if you are scientifically inclined.

The phrase substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen culminates in the fact that faith is “trust in God”. Belief however is different from faith. I can believe in something, yet do not have faith in it. Many Christians believe in God but lack faith in God. A Christians who is afraid of an idol, believes in God but do not have faith in God; to have faith in God is to trust what God has said whenever and wherever you face an idol, (Isaiah 44:9-11 & Psalms 115:2 — “All who make idols are nothing, the things they treasure are worthless. Those who will speak for them are blind, they are ignorant, to their own shame…………they will be brought down to terror and shame” (Isaiah: 44 9-11).

“Why do nations say where is their God?”…..their gods are silver and gold, made by the human hands. They have mouth but cannot speak, eyes they cannot see. They have ears they cannot hear, noses but cannot smell……those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them” (Psalms: 115:2-8)

Having faith in God means that you have trust in what God says in His Word and that it is exactly as He has said it without any doubt debate or philosophy. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him”. Many Christians today are not able to please God in their daily lives because they lack the substance to please Him which has it’s root in faith and ultimately in God.

You can never have faith without belief.

Romans: 10:17 confirms that faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Christ). In other words faith comes by information through the message of God. Faith is therefore the vehicle to execute belief. You can be limited only to belief and not be able to operate in faith. Many Christians don’t have accurate and proper information about God, and that is why no matter what and how much you tell them about what God can and will do they do not and cannot understand.

Prayer: Lord open up my spirit and illuminate my heart and mind to the knowledge of Your ways and Your will. Help me to take every thought captive to obey You in all total belief and let my faith grow and rise in God daily in Jesus name.

You are about to embark on a new victory!

Beloved you are in a Battlefield with the enemy over your life and possibly afraid of what next he will throw at you. Well I have great news for you. You are about to embark on a “new victory” in your life over all the attacks of the enemy.

The Spirit of God which had gone ahead of you in battle will reveal to you the victory that lays ahead of you. All you have to do is ask for the revelation of His perfect plan He has for you. (Read Judges 7:10-16).
Prayer: Father terrify all my enemies and embolden me to confront and trash every ugly situation in my life. I command every assigned attack on my life to surrender in Jesus name.

God is a God of truth

Apostle Williams at John Wesley's ChurchGod is a God of truth: In fact the bible says it is impossible for Him to lie (Hebrews 6:18). He gives us His truth in every situation to apply to our thoughts. “and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” John 8:32. Therefore, if you’re not free, which lie of the devil are you believing in as truth in your life?

The bible says that the peace of God guards our minds. God protects us in this way because wrong thoughts are a breeding ground for satan’s lies, and there is no truth in satan according to John 8:44.

Therefore make your biggest personal goal this month to be to have a “Mind of Christ” in you.

Prayer: This year , my mind will not be moved by negative news but my mind will only be moved by the Word of God alone. My mind will be governed by the power of The Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

Amen.
