Faith4life 1

"...The just shall live by faith", this statement of truth implies that the child of God that desires to live a fruitful life should sign up to live beyond the physical realm(the sight realm). In life,we will face daunting challenges that will contest what we believe in God's word - it's called a trial of faith. This is why the believer needs to understand what faith really is - "Faith is acting on what you believe";It is the oxygen for the christian life,you ride on it to please God, to overcome challenges,to manifest God's power on your inside,it's like the trigger to bring forth the promises of God. The patriarchs walked in faith and they saw the mighty hand of God deliver them and give them victory (Heb.11);they crossed seas,delivered children of promise,overcame famine,received healing by faith in the mighty power of God they believed. The big question then is,"What do you believe?", Are you still inbetween two opinions?- We should come to that point where we have a resolute,unshakeable belief that the word of God is the final authority so much so that we act on it. A good example is the case of Peter walking on water- He despised the storm and the boisterous waves and acted on what he believed- the word God had given him...
