UNWAVERING FAITH

Text: Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Faith stands as a cornerstone in the life of every believer. It is the bedrock upon which our relationship with God is built, It enables us to trust in His promises, even when they are yet to manifest in the physical realm.

Let us delve into the profound nature of faith and its significance in the believer's journey:

1.*Faith brings us into a relationship with God* 

 *For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.* (Ephesians 2:8). Our salvation is rooted in faith, marking the beginning of our walk with God.

2.) *Faith is the pathway to miracles.* 
And Jesus said to him, 'If you can! All things are possible for one who believes (Mark 9:23). Through faith, the impossible becomes possible, and we witness the miraculous hand of God in our lives. 

3.) *Faith strengthens us during trials.* 
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. (1 Peter 1:6-7). *Faith is our anchor, keeping us steadfast amidst life's storms.

4.) *Faith leads to obedience.* 
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.(Hebrews 11:8). True faith propels us to obey God's commands, even when the journey ahead is unknown.

5.) *Faith secures our future.* 
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth (Hebrews 11:13). Our faith gives us the assurance of eternal life, offering peace and hope for our future.

As believers, we are called to cultivate and grow in our faith, ensuring that it remains unshaken by the challenges of life. *It is through faith that we draw closer to God, experiencing His power and presence in every aspect of our lives*

 *Bible Reading:* 

Romans 10:9-17

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Heavenly Father, I ask for a deeper faith that trusts in You wholeheartedly, enabling me to walk in obedience and witness Your power in my life.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
