WORD4TODAY! WHAT IS FAITH? 1» Faith is not just believing God, faith is behaving God to prove that you believe and thereby becoming what he wants you to be. God told Abraham to depart and he left, not knowing where to go. At another time He told Abraham to sacrifice his only son after waiting for 25 years. And Abraham moved. So faith is the dynamic, faith is moves. Genesis 22 vs. 2-3 2» Faith is not just depending on God; faith is obeying the word of God to prove that you are depending on Him. Faith is a responsibility. You have your part to play. One day is more than enough for God to change your story if you employ the right effort. 3» Faith is not just praying and fasting; Prayers without reasoning is void. Isaiah 1 vs. 18 says come let us reason together. Faith is reasoning with God in His word, and then you can pray and fast to enforce what you have discovered by reasoning/meditation. 4» Faith needs hope. Faith is not the absence of hope; rather faith is the complement of hope. Hebrews 11 vs. 1, now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. To be hopeless is to be faithless. Your faith needs hope to deliver. Look at this illustration, it will help your understanding, faith is the husband of hope, faith impregnates hope and hope delivers a baby called testimony. So you need hope. That is why you must not give up, keep your hope alive. 5» Boldness is a catalyst of faith; the effort of confidence is a requirement for your boldness to come alive. Courage is the enemies’ greatest threat. David was able to face goliath because he dealt with the lion and the bear while taking care of his father’s sheep. Challenges come to build your courage. From today as you approach, opposition will be clearing the way for you.
