But Without Faith

The word without faith depict a state of mind characterized by doubt, fear and un-believe. It is a point where one has lost focus in God. It is a life of absolute darkness and that was why the scripture confirms that it will be impossible to please God.

We live by faith, move by faith and even have our being by faith. Without faith, it would have be impossible for us to relate with others and carry out our daily routines. It's faith that gives us the assurance that our next step on the earth will not amount to a fall. It's faith that gives us the assurance that as we open our mouth to speak forth, words won't cease from coming forth. It's faith that gives us the assurance that when we stretch forth any parts of our body, they would respond accordingly.

Why do we believe that when we sit on a chair, it is able to carry our weight or that we are fit and capable of lifting a particular object or thing? It is nothing but faith.

Now you see how relevance faith is in all our dealings with man and with our maker. Faith can create, faith can re-create and faith can re-generate. Faith is dynamic, faith is superb and faith is God's divine uniqueness. Everything created was by faith and faith count a lot with God.

Why do you think many suffer and get deprive a lot of their right? It is because they have not exercise their faith correctly on God's word which says: "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139:14.

Suffice to say that faith is acting correctly on God's word. The bible confirms these dynamites of faith in four different scriptures - The just shall live by faith: Habakkuk 2:4b, Romans 1:17b, Galatians 3:11b, Hebrews 10:38. Meaning, if for instance a disabled person can take a step of faith and act correctly on the word of God; Ps 139:14, without anyone praying or laying hands on such person, healing and complete restoration is a sure banker because God has promise to honour our faith.

When God instructed Cain and Abel to honour Him with their firstlings, why was Abel's offering accepted and Cain's rejected despite the fact that they both acted on God's word? It was because Abel acted correctly on God word by offering the best of his flocks to God while Cain brought the worse and not too good to behold of his fruit as offering.


Also, when God commanded father Abraham to leave his father house to a place He would yet show him; to bless him and make him a blessing (Gen 12:1-2), but because Abraham acted less correctly on the word by taking his brother Lot along, the promises of God did not begin fulfilment until he separated himself totally from lot. This is what happen when we fail to give God our best and surrender all to him accordingly.

God specifically instructed king Saul to utterly destroy the Amalek and all that they have in 1 Sam. 15:3. But Saul's actions on this word falls below expectation. Even when he thought that he had acted correctly on God's word by destroying the Amalek, but for the fact that he spared king Agag and the best of the sheep, oxen and fatlings in disguise of sacrificing them unto God, God was displeased. Hence his rebuke in verse 22 " And Samuel said, Hath the Lord has great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams".

The miracle of Jesus walking on the sea in Matthew 14:26, could have been successfully repeated by all the disciples that were in the ship. When Jesus gave the command- Come! It wasn't directed to Peter alone; who at first acted correctly on the word and when he shifted his focus away from Jesus, and fear set in, that he began to sink- Matthew 14:30 "But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me".

Know for sure that if all they that were present in that boat acted in faith on the word- Come! Without fear or losing focus on Jesus, they would all have walked on the sea successful just like Jesus did.

When fear and doubt says: you are sick, you are in debt and you are not come out of it, or that you are not making any progress because your mate and even your juniors are ahead of you. Faith will say; I know who I am; I am the apple of God's eyes; I am coming out this mess, because by his stripes, I am healed. I am lifted and I have what God says I have for he make all things beautiful in His time.

So, let your faith grow. Develop it by continuous hearing of God's word and acting correctly on them. Anything is possible if faith is involve. The world is in your hands.
