We live in challenging times, and now even made more challenging by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in all these challenges; whether job security, finances, relationships or family; we already received a dominion mandate from God our Father, which remains our confidence – Genesis 1:28 We need to have our hope, belief, trust and dependence anchored solely on God’s word, which encourages us to strive in steadfastness in our walk with Him; not wavering but believing that as long as God has said it, He will surely bring it to pass – Numbers 23:19
“I do not have any faith” you say?
Giving our lives to Christ guarantees us a measure of faith – Romans 12:3, which requires daily growth by constantly immersing ourselves in the word of God – Romans 10:17. This growth can be likened to a person who wants to develop their muscles; they need to workout in order to build their stamina, fitness levels and strong muscles. This is the same way we grow our faith by hearing the word of God constantly.
What are you using your faith for?
Jesus has taught us through His word – John 14:9; it is therefore our responsibility to apply what we learn daily to our lives. Remember that faith comes by hearing, and hearing the word of God – Romans 10:17. We go through levels of growth; from having a weak faith, to little, then the mustard seed kind, strong faith, then to great faith where we begin to speak things into existence, quicken every dead thing, move mountains and pull down strongholds. God’s word is made potent when it is mixed with our faith; Matthew 9:27-29.
God is God, the I AM THAT I AM, the God with whom there is no shadow of turning. Let us trust in the integrity of God’s word – Matthew 17:20
God has never failed and will never fail.
God bless you!
Amazing, we need to trust the integrity of God’s word. Thanks for this reminder, I will continue to mix the word with faith on a daily basis.
