THE PRODUCT OF FAITH!
Few days ago I went to a shop to buy a light bulb, and before it was handed over to me, it was tested and as it was tested, it produced light. What do you think about a new light bulb that cannot produce light? It is a dead and useless bulb. The same thing is applicable with our faith. The Bible says, “Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” James 1:3.

You say you have faith in God, I say I have faith in God, and the other person claims to have a great faith in God. Then there will be a divine test of our faith, genuine faith must produce patience, but if your faith is tested and it does not produce patience, then that faith is not biblical and not genuine. The Bible says, “Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.”

There are so many non-tested faiths in this end time. There are so many hurry-hurry faith, there are so many dead faiths that cannot produce patience and the owners will be disappointed, they will not be able to obtain both earthly and heavenly promises of God. If you have faith in God but you don't have patience with God, you will get nothing from God.

Show You Faith By Patience!
Do you have faith in God? Then you will be patient with your spouse, you will not run away to divorce. Do you have faith for your marital life? Then you will patiently wait on the Lord. Do you have faith in God for financial blessing? Then you will be patient, you will not look for money by all means, you will not get money by crooked ways. Do you have faith in God for that position God has promised you? Then you will wait for God to work it out for you, you will not want to work it out yourself. You know God promised David the kingdom of Israel and for several years he patiently waited for God to work it out at His own divine time.

Yes, you have prayed about it, you have fasted about it and you have faith about it, but you must be patient about it. Those who have faith in God without patience with God will soon run out of faith, they will soon run away. Listen, after you have prayed and trusted God to make a way for you, the only way God cannot make a way for you is when you run away. How will God make a way for you when you run away? How will God turn around the marriage when you run away? How will God turn around your situation when you have turned wayward, worldly and gone your own way? When you are not patient with God?

My Beloved, if truly God has promised you the job, the position, the traveling abroad, or whatever promises of God you believe and claim, if sincerely you have faith in God for them, you will not manipulate things, you will not tell lies, you will not change figures, you will not rig election, you will not compromise God’s word. What is the essence of getting it when God is not no more involved in it?

If you get it without God, the enemies will eventually get rid of you without God helping you.

The Word of God says “Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:3,4.

Let patience have its perfect work in your life, in your relationship with God and men, in your marriage, in your business, in your ministry and every area of your life.

God bless you!
