Matthew 16: 15-20
There is power in the blood of Jesus and at the mentioning of Jesus name every knee bow. Philippians 2:10)
In this day and age with different faith and applications, it not only confusing but easy to meddle all kinds of faith together and expect the same result. It’s like concussion of delicious meal and a perfectly made meal. While the former could be multi-dishes with diluted of conjugated taste, they are most likely to cause running stomach or make you run to toilet depending on the level of the concussion and the latter is to give you the distinct taste and the feeling that you have eaten balance diet.

In many part of the world many people are brainwashed, confined to a century old ideology, philosophy, idea, story and beliefs that could not hold water, but thus cause lots of confusion for our modern world and the people in it. For instance, many people in this underdeveloped world believe there is one person with a metaphysics power to make them barren, have accident, make them sick or even kill them.

When happenings happen, they can quickly relate it to one person in their village, family, their enemy who they think has the voodoo or power to have cause the evil deed or some spiritualist. To best analyze this content I will look into some biblical analysis and real life facts.

Safety Faith: Ephesians 6:12

Safety Faith is the full application of Faith, preparation, work, analysis and total dependency on God should any of the precaution elements fails: faith with work and do your part and leave the rest to God. Among the Christians, they have read the bible many times and knew this: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

While Jesus made us to understand that we have been given power over all powers of darkness: Luke 10:19.
If Jesus and Abraham is our model of Faith then the application should be based on their ideology. Meaning:application of Safety Faith: In Matthew 16:18-20, when Jesus charged his disciples with the confirmation of power to the key of heaven, he bade them not to tell the people he was Jesus in verse 20. (preserving himself until its time for departure)

Abraham was instructed to leave his country to an unknown country Genesis 12: 1; and while he was leaving, he left with his Safety Faith Genesis 20: 2. Those are the faith that saves and when they appears to have failed, God takes supernatural control as he did for Abraham Genesis 20:3 (God threatens Abimelech so he could let Sarah go)

Most people who apply this kind of faith make it in life. You do not have to be of Christian religion, all you need is to understand the principles and you will be successful. For instance the western world and the developing world. The western world depends on cause and effect, prevention and preparedness, extinction of hazard and control of hazard.
The developing world would rather depend on supernatural being to think for them, protect them, prevent danger where they create hazardous environment.

Negligence Faith

Its a kind of faith that ignores safety, preparedness, common and simple questions for safety analysis, for Celestial body to take control in a magical way: application of Faith without work

Our modern Christians, pastors inclusive in developing world such as Nigeria use this model of faith a lot and most time never use Safety faith. They read bible verses that assured that the enemy shall not exact upon them; nor the son of wickedness afflict them and God will beat down their foes before their face, and plague them that hate them. Psalms 89:22-23.

Negligently they go face the enemy without the Safety Faith; forgetting the need for strategy and preparedness to win the war against enemy. No plan, no strategy, no fighting principles nor fighting analysis as was designed by God. Numbers 2 shows us sample and the principles of fighting enemies: And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch. 3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.

When a Christian who has just buy a new van in less than a week and had gone to night vigil and in the early hour of the day, left the church for an appointment at Lagos island. Drove his van to the third mainland water, people ascribed it to enemy of progress and no one was intelligent enough to ask some accident investigation questions:

1. How many hours of sleep did he get within the last 24hrs before the accident
2. What is the possibility of speeding to quickly go to Lagos Island and come back to meet up other appointments
3. What about the excitement of just buying a new car that could make a new driver and even experience driver to
experiment on the speeding power of his new car when the road is free
4. How long has he maintain a driving license

None of the above questions was asked, the first thing was enemy of progress had cause this because he just bought car and the reason he did not die was because, he just finish vigil. There are many people that are not Christian that experience different type of accident each year and did not die. When it’s not your time, you are not going anywhere.

A Christian enter a bus that the driver has been drinking paraga and alcohol throughout the early morning before his shift and perhaps had not slept in the last 12 hours and would be driving 12 hours on a bad road where there is no decent lane for the driver to maintain and few hours into the journey the Christian and the entire people die in crash and they say it was some spirit world sucking blood every year on that road.

While in the western world, a drunk would not have been allowed behind the steering and if there is any reason to suspect fatigue as a result of not sleeping, you wouldn't be driving the public transport. There are laws and people most time abide by the law and thus it appears that there is no spirit world in the western world.

Christians wake up, this kind of faith also apply to the affair of the country while many who call themselves pastors never make effort to change the status quo but rather depends on Negligence Faith: God will do it, let’s pray and there is no action being taken. As if Jesus is some sort of magician and he will just stand up and change the system. If Martin Luther King was telling the blacks God will do it, Obama will not have a chance to speak about King;s legacy 50 years later.

We talk about Juju or voodoo so powerful and people can disappear, I wonder where that power was when the white masters came to carry the voodoo powerful back people. Nollywood also made us to belief that you can use voodoo to disappear, kill people and make people sick to the point where doctors cannot diagnose the problem. Has anybody ever asked why didn't the people disappear when they were taken as slave, or kill their masters with voodoo who only depends on Gun? If voodoo is so powerful, all our bad presidents would have died, I guess no one was using voodoo on them.

Have we asked why voodoo never give anybody visa to any western countries but to most African countries where there is no adherence to policy or strict processes of doing things?

If plane fall in Nigeria it’s the spirit world, there is nothing that talks about bad plane, bad engine, default in maintenance or fatigue pilots, everything was cause by some bad people. The application of Safety faith make planes to stay on air for 20 hours, and sometime more. The application of safety faith makes the modern presidents, governors, some pastors to have security details and bodyguards, the application of safety faith makes fewer accident on the road, air and sea in the western world.

Let’s us apply safety faith before we travel in this MBER months and we will not experience accidents.
