Several years ago, something happened that revolutionised my philosophy about life. While in my parents house, I was sleeping one night when I kept hearing a scratchy sound at the door.
Opening the door to see what was going on, it was a rat that saw me and bolted. I shut the door and went back to sleep, but the rat returned again. At that time, my eyes were heavy and I needed to sleep, so in my subconscious, I spoke to the rat. I said 'you cant disturb my sleep, I rebuke you in Jesus name!' And surprisingly, because I didn't doubt, I saw a dead rat in front of my door in the morning.
The truth is, you may not see God Perform if you don't PUT YOUR FAITH IN ACTION!
Jesus came to restore to us, the power that was accrued to Adam before he messed up in the garden of eden! YOUR FAITH IS YOUR EVIDENCE IN GOD'S COURT! Moses had no idea how the Isrealites were going to cross the Red Sea, yet they kept moving! Friends, it doesnt matter what you see ahead of you, if God says 'keep moving,' PLEASE KEEPING MOVING!
Something remarkable happened in Luke 17:11-16. Towards the border of Samaria and Galilee, ten lepers saw Jesus and shouted for mercy. Jesus told them to go and show themselves to the priest. Look at this; Showing themselves to the priest had little or nothing to do with being healed. Besides, Jesus was/is greater than the Priest. But faith is doing what God tells you to do before trying to find out why you were told to do so!
Life is like a 'night drive,' you cannot see beyond the capacity of your headlight. So when God tells you to do something, He tells you that because He sees the end from the beginning, which we cannot!
On several occasions Jesus did not say 'my power has made you well.' Rather, He said "YOUR FAITH" has made you well! The power is constant. But the faith depends on you . Your faith is a compliment to God's power!
See, Abraham's faith so moved God that God counted his faith for righteousness. Do you know that it is not your good morals that makes you righteous? It is your FAITH IN JESUS(His death and resurrection) that does! Faith is a powerful property in God's kingdom.
How you can build your faith??? Study the bible more often, study carefully and with more than one version of the bible for better understanding "..for faith cometh by continous hearing of the word.

ReplyDeleteBe it unto me according to your words Oh Lord!
ReplyDeleteFaith is one teaching that never sounds old to me. No matter how many times I hear or read it, there's always something new.

DeleteGod bless you Bv Amos.
As in enh, this blessed me too. Strong Word
DeleteI know misconception about faith often open door to doubt, because this can create false expectations or misunderstanding about the nature of sky god. For example, if Christians incorrectly think god has promised to heal everyone or make everyone wealthy if they just exhibit sufficient faith, they can fall prey to doubt when illness strikes or bankruptcy looms, they start to doubt whether they have faith at all.
DeleteThanks Amos

Thank you too SDK.
Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you Amos
Timely
ReplyDelete...just like a body without the spirit is dead so is faith without works.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this BV Amos, it spoke to me but I added the verse above for people who might misconstrue what you wrote above: 'Do you know that it is not your good morals that makes you righteous? It is your FAITH IN JESUS(His death and resurrection) that does!'. Abraham's faith was made righteous because he obeyed (works) God by attempting to sacrifice (works) his son because he had FAITH in God.
Shalom
Nice words

Thanks Amos.
You know this topic faith is very power, i remember one sunday a priest came to preach in the church, he said something that from that moment i saw the truth in it, he said alot of people when they have problem they keep crying and asking God why why, that God is not moved by our tears one bit, what moves God to do great things for people is there faith, speak and declare with faith and thank God in advance and see him doing his things as he has promised, my fellow Bv's let us always trust God for everything with faith we will get there in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteVery very very nice write-up. I am lifted.

ReplyDeleteIt is not your good morals that makes you righteous?? So what makes you righteous? Bad morals?
ReplyDeletePoster easy you hear? Before you lead ppl unknowingly to hell. In a bid to make your write up sweet.
Every other thing you said up there,on point.
Righteousness before God comes through faith in Jesus(the finished work on the cross)! We have Atheists who have good morals, are they righteous before God? It doesn't matter how much of a good man or woman a person is, if you do not confess Jesus and believe in him as the only way, YOU ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS before God! That is why salvation is not by our effort, we are enjoying what Jesus Christ purchased for us! Read Galatians 2&3 thoroughly for better clarification!
DeleteThank you BV Amos for this post, I strongly have faith in God and I know he will not fail me
ReplyDeleteYes Indeed. Our God is merciful and He is moved by our faith. He will do abundantly,exceedingly above all our expectations and prayers according to the power that is within us. Thank you for the uplifting write up...
