What then is Faith? (#Encounter Series 2) Heb 11:1

I Stand to be corrected but most of the times the reason why Christians sin is a lack of faith, they have not yet realized that it is through faith you stop sinning. You only ascribe and agree with God that what He says is true, faith is agreeing with God. Living powerfully in faith, we would not sin because we see ourselves exactly the same way God sees us, that means we have not believed in the power of Jesus to save us utterly from sin completely, we are making the grace of Jesus untrue frustrating the grace.

What is Faith? Is Faith a believe system. Is Faith a prayer tool, is Faith one of the many gifts of God, or is Faith just what we know it to be. What exactly is your understanding of faith, how do you see faith, is Faith deprived of its very power in your life. If you are confused about faith I advice you to seek understanding and revelation will flood your face. But this is faith, the resurrected life. That jesus Christ came and lived a certain way and recommended such a life for us, so that we may live triumphantly, that we may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his suffering being made conformable to his death. Brethren without his resurrection power we are nothing, I mean we are nothing, Faith is a life and Faith is also Living. Knowing Jesus is Faith, I am not talking about reading Jesus or getting acquainted with him, I mean knowing Jesus. There is no way you would know Jesus and not produce Faith, it is impossible. 

I pray God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ that he would give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. Revelation and power for living only comes from knowing him, so we see that we might all be able to shout that I may know him. But remember each time you shout that I may know him you are actually saying give me faith, as we sing this song give me jesus. Each time we cry that I may know him, give me jesus, we are actually shouting I need faith, I am desperate for faith. When we understand the position of faith in our lives we would know how to pray the right prayer, our cry won’t be give me this or give me that it would be give me faith.

When we are facing a crisis it would be give me faith, when we are broken it would be give me faith, when we are struggling or entangled with sin, it would be give me faith. It is the absence of faith, or the taking of our eyes away from faith that makes us to struggle, not as though if you have faith things won’t go wrong, but rather it is the presence of faith that makes us to triumph in every of our pursuit. So we can also say faith is the triumphant life. Faith is huge and it is all encompassing, it is a life. First a building of a relationship before it becomes a making of a demand. Faith is entirely spiritual, and it is wholly satisfying, but it demands a lot of attention, knowing Christ requires that.

I believe that with this I have being a blessing, more is coming on the subject of faith, this has being my life long research knowing what faith is, I started this search when I began to see cracks in the message of faith, I saw that even though we were told to get acquainted with Christ, it was to get acquainted with Christ so one can get results, I realize now that things are not so. This series is produced to promote encounter 2016, avail yourself by coming for the program as men of God come in to share their life on the journey of faith Encounter 2016 coming soon…. Be prepared plan to attend.

Shalom.

Faith (#Encounter series) Heb 11:1

I have been crucified with Christ the nevertheless I live, the  life I now live I live by faith for 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, life was created by faith. Even though we are not yet raised with the lord. We live in the resuurection life with the hope of Christ 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 want thing the worl 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 re quired 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 an action even when things are not going in the direction it is meant to go, Faith is the very nature of things. What madeit difficult to live by faith was the fact that we were taught faith, or we perceived faith wrongly we were taught faith with a worldly mind set we were taught that faith is only active in prayer, and when we want to make large requests from God like getting a contract, or travelling out 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 faith what with the wrong misconception but then later it began 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!
