Focus: Understanding Faith

WORD FOR TODAY
Faith is faith when its source is God. Faith, irrespective of its dimension comes from hearing God!!!
***********************
Scriptural Reference
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You don't have faith until you hear from God through His word. All the heroes of Faith whose chronicle is in Hebrew 11; were men who received the word of God. They were men of faith because the word of God came to them and they submitted themselves to act accordingly.

When the word of the Lord comes to you in the form of instruction, promises or vision for coming days; know that you will be subjected to a test of faith which places you on a contrary experience. God promises to give Abraham Canaan land yet he lived in a tent as a foreigner in the land but died in the same land believing what God had said. Afterwards, his descendants possessed the land in fulfillment to the word of God- this is faith.

Therefore, faith is not about your wishes or desire but about God's will and desire. When you key into what God wants to do either for your life or for the kingdom business that is when you have faith. Hence, Faith is absolute obedience to God's word!
________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Do you have Faith?

Prayer Point:
Lord! I receive the grace to live my life in agreement to what you are doing and will do in Jesus. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
You have faith not because of what you want or desire but because God said it!!!
