FAITH, OUR LIFELINE

“What we read in Scripture is “Abraham entered into what God was doing for him and that was the turning point. He trusted God to set him right instead of trying to do right on his own” Romans 4.3, the Message Bible

Faith is the lifeline of a Christian: not the faith of the natural but the spiritual. Yet our actions often tell a different story – displaying the former rather than the latter. Faith is an experience not just knowledge. It demonstrates a work of intelligence that cannot be understood by our mind. That is the reason faith cannot be subjected to sensory deductions – the root of unbelief.

“He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promises asking cautiously sceptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God  would make good on what he had said” Romans 4.20-21. The Message Bible

Jesus lived a life of faith and judged all things by faith. To his disciples when they saw such manifestation “Have faith in God”. Faith is acting with authority in all matters having an inner confidence of the REVEALED TRUTH. Without the faith of Jesus, we lack the power to deal with the challenges and issues of life and therefore become subject to them. Jesus spoke and acted as a man with dominion over all things. The centurion said of Him “But only speak the word and my servant shall be healed” Mathew 8.8NKJV

 Faith is influential. In a world that is reeling in darkness, the operation of our faith shines through to point the way out for them. Be a person of boldness exercising control over the issues of your life. Live with authority: LIVE BY THE FAITH OF GOD.
