This has been the bane of my journey, i have had to learn and unlearn about Faith, and i felt it important to share my experiences with us, this is also the theme for our annual camp meeting tagged #encounter the promotional design will be shared with us, avail yourself the opportunity and plan to attend, this teaching is going to be a series this is the first draft.
I have bn crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not i, but christ liveth in me. and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith of the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. So therefore, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, for
by faith the heavens were formed. Calling those things that be not as though
were, for by faith the world was framed and all that we see were brought into
existence by that which we do not see, life was created by faith.
Even though we are not yet risen with
the lord. We live in the resurrection, with the hope that Christ is coming. When
our incorruptible body will be exchanged for incorruptible body. The work in
our Christian walk is Faith. Even though we have access to everything by grace
we receive them and see their manifestation by faith. Faith is our legal tender, we need to constantly strive to live by faith. We must keep Christ in our
consciousness and allow our faith to have free course i.e it must flow. We stand
a chance of being in extinction if our lives lose the power of it’s appeal
which is faith, the one thing the world lacks that makes us stand out from them
is faith it is the one thing missing from their puzzle, it is the reason why
chaos reigns.
Faith brings peace, clarity and assurance, faith is a
profession and an attainment, faith is a reality and a lifestyle. I have
struggled so much because I was weak to exercise my faith and the devil capitalized
on that, I thought the faith life was hard but as I reinvigorated myself in the
word, God was able to show me that my natural existence and response should be
that of faith, all I am saying is, if we don’t make it a duty to live by faith,
we would suffer many things, emotional depression, lack of power, fear,
confusion and so many others. It is my believe that all we are required of in
this world is to exhibit GOD (Faith). Faith is not positive confession, Faith
is assurance and confidence to pursue a particular course of action, even
when things are not going in the direction it is meant to go, Faith is the very
nature of things. What made it difficult to live by faith is the fact that we
were taught or we perceived faith wrongly. We were taught faith from a carnal approach. We were told that faith is only active in prayer and when
we want to make large requests from God, like getting a contract, or travelling abroad(Outside Africa), buying a car... we held on to the wrong concepts, faith to us was just a
means to an end unknowing to us faith was the very life we live, our daily
journey is earmarked as faith. So we misunderstood faith, and like every
new thing that came before it, this kind of faith with the wrong misconception, after a whilebegan to
crack, gradually there were walls in our believe system, some of us it tore us
apart, but we stayed in faith embracing faith, while some were totally torn
from the faith, few it is that survived this barrage on their believe, they
went back to their closet and humbled themselves before God, and sought his
help the result was a transformation into a triumphant living.
Faith is not just walking on waters, faith is carrying God around everywhere you go, and him enabling you to do the impossible from being able to withstand persecution to commanding results
Shalom!
