BY FAITH...2

Text : Heb.11:33&34 NLT

*By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions,quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight* .

You will sometimes wonder why most Countries in the world have remained impoverished and corrupt.  This is simply because they do not have leaders that are walking in and by Faith. Note that it takes only Faith to wrought righteousness.

 _Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son!May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice!Psalm 72:1&2_ 

The second feat   recorded against the names of  saints in Hebrew 11:33&34 is the enforcement of 

 righteousness( justice)

 *2.By Faith they wrought righteousnesss.* 

 *Justice, fairness and equity can only be enforced by Faith.* Today we shall be considering how King David wrought righteousness by Faith.

David was anointed by Samuel as the King of Israel while Saul was still on the throne. So, David knew he was going to be the next King of Israel.1Sam.1;16.

David, having received the promise amd anointing as the next King of Israel, still had to do some waiting(Patience)

 *Don't be tempted to always think that FAITH is void of Patience. The bible says that he that believes shall not make haste Isaiah 28:16* 

David, while waiting for the appropriate and God's timing for his enthronement, he wrought righteousness by Faith, by not killing Saul. 

He had two distinct opportunities to have avenged himself but he refrained. This is simply an act of faith. Faith is also expressed in  patience. Rom

 5:;1-3. 

David did not take laws into his hands, by seizing the open opportunities he had to kill SAUL. He rather believed in God who makes all things beautiful in HIS time. He simply by faith in God acted fairly and justly towards King Saul.

2. One of the most outstanding things David did was to kill the man who claimed to have helped in perfecting King Saul's death. 2 Sam

1:1-16. David wrought great justice by faith. Hence, he never did appreciate anyone who does act in injustice.

3. David displayed the righteousness by Faith in God when he gladly welcomed into his company those in distress,  debts, and every one that was discontented. All these people numbered about four hundred men. 

1 Samuel 22:2.

 *Only those who truly have faith in God can wrought righteousness indeed.* Do you have faith in God?

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
