FAITH AND GOD’S PROMISES!

 

EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2020.

SUBJECT: FAITH AND GOD’S PROMISES!

Memory verse: "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)" (Hebrews 10 vs 23.)

READ: Romans 4 vs 19 - 20; Hebrews 10 vs 35 - 36: 

4:19: And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body,,already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. 

4:20: He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened  in faith, giving glory to God." 

Hebrews 10:35: Therefore do not cast your confidence, which has great reward. 

10:36: For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the Will of God, you may receive the promise.

INTIMATION:

Faith is reasoning with God in the Word until you are persuaded that what He has promised He will do. Therefore, it is a display of confidence in God until you obtain your promise or your desired result. Consequently, without faith, it becomes impossible to please God or obtain His promises. Faith is an asset of inestimable value, it is worth to you what you perceive it to be. Faith is not feeling, but rather a force that invade the invisible world and delivers to the physical by moving the hand of God to deliver His promises. It implants humanity into divinity and gives dominion to the faithful. 

Hebrews 11 states that faith has substance. Faith is real. It is measurable, hence we have all been given a measure of faith at the new birth. Substance, in the case of faith, means that we have an assurance that God will do for us today what He has done for His people previously. What God has done in the past, He can do in the present. God's past performance gives us absolute assurance for our future. God said in His Word, "I am the LORD, I do not change." (Malachi 3 vs 6.) Scripture also says that Jesus Christ is "the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13 vs 8.)

Our faith is not mysticism. Our faith is not positive thinking or religious psychobabble. Our faith is rock solid, based on the historical evidence that God in heaven will faithfully perform what He has promised. The faith that pleases God is the faith that moves the one who possesses it into action and confidence in the promises of God. It is a faith that does not give up hope in what God has promised as a reward for the believer. Know it that faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible. Our anchor Scripture clearly instructs us to continue declaring our faith in God’s promises without wavering, and in so doing obtain His promises.

Your feeling has nothing to do with your faith. You can walk into a hospital room and see someone you dearly love suffering on a bed of affliction and cry emotionally for an hour. Your tears may give you emotional relief, but will do nothing for your loved one. Nothing! Yet one minute of faith released in prayer to a loving God can stop sickness and disease in its tracks. In whatever state, or circumstances you find yourself in life, your greatest asset required to bring God into your circumstances is your faith. Therefore, recognize that your faith is a substance proven and validated by what God has done in the past.

We know that God answers prayer with supernatural and miraculous manifestations. For instance, God answered the prayer of Elijah, who called fire from heaven in Mount Carmel, God heard the prayer of Joshua and held the sun in place, and time literally stood still. No matter how intimidating your problem happens to be, God is ready to hear and answer your prayer right now. He is ready to release your miracle, but first you must expect a miracle! Therefore, have the confidence that God will bring about His promises because He has made them on the basis of His existence and His oath (Hebrews 6 vs 18 - 19). 

Prayer: Abba Father, my unshakable faith is in You and Your Word. You have not said a thing and didn’t do it or has spoken and didn’t make it good. Therefore, my faith is solidly anchored in You because ai know Whom I have believed. May nothing take away my trust and confidence in You, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
