IT IS UNTO YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH
Hebrews 11:6 (GNBDK)
“To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of
the things we cannot see.”
Dear people of God, the Bible tells us what Faith means as
stated above in today’s lead text.
it means to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of
the things we cannot see. Faith means you are confident that whatever you want,
you have it. It does not come by hard work, your ethnic nationality, gender,
school certificate, political connections, Intelligent Quotient (IQ) level or
what have you.
So how does one obtain faith? This question is very important
because there are Christians who pray to God to give them faith or to increase
their faith.
Unfortunately, such prayer is wrong because it is not Scriptural
and therefore not according to God’s will.
To confirm what I have just stated, let us look at how faith
comes in Romans 10:17 (NKJV), “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
You can
see for yourself that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Faith does not
come through fasting and prayer but by hearing the Word of God.
The more
of God’s Word you hear, the more your faith is developed or increased.
You would
also notice in Luke 17:5-6 that when the Apostles asked the Lord Jesus Christ
to increase their faith, Jesus’ response was to preach the Word to them about
making declarations.
Of course,
in today’s Christianity, those declarations are made in the Name of Jesus. In fact,
every word you speak carrying power so you must be careful not to make careless
declarations because whatsoever things you speak whether causally or seriously,
that would you obtain in life.
You must
therefore learn to be conscious of the words that come out of your mouth that
they are in line with what you want to see in your life.
Dear friend,
since faith comes from hearing God’s Word, a wise Christian would certainly saturate
his spirit with God’s Word to increase his faith, know his right in Christ
Jesus and declare those Scriptures to activate and claim those rights in
Christ.
If you
are still struggling to get answers to your prayers, then check your faith. Check
your faith means check God’s Word to know what is happening and whether your
prayers align with God’s Word. Additionally, ask God also to show where you are
getting it wrong so you can make corrections.
God’s
response would usually be to refer you to His Word.
The Word
of God is the bottom line. It is the final
authority in all things.
Do you
want a miracle? Have you been searching for one? All you have to do is have
faith that God can do all things. Faith comes from hearing God’s Word.
Everything
is possible for the person who believes.
How grateful
I am to the God and Father of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who has
revealed these great things to us and given us these enormous benefits as His
children.
I pray
the Lord would open your eyes of understanding, dear friend, to see these same
privileges in Christ Jesus so you can always appreciate, worship and honour Him
in all things.
As for
those who are yet to surrender their lives to Jesus, you can see from this
message that the best gifts of this life are reserved for Christians.
Being a
Christian means know Jesus Christ both as Lord and Saviour of your life by
righteous obedience to His commandments in the Holy Bible.
It is
not that God does not love non-Christians. No, God loves every human He
created. God has only said the ONLY acceptable way of life as far as He is
concerned is Christianity.
There is
no other option.
Please come
to Jesus Christ today, dear friend, before it is too late for you.
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on
it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Loving Name, Amen.
Gabriel Ama.
