Hello everyone, and Happy New Month
This month will be filled with good news, blessings and favour.
Life is more of the spiritual than the physical, and it takes only spiritual consciousness to overcome the physical, and we only overcome physically "through the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony" which is anchored on our faith level.
I came to understand that through faith I can access and have anything that I desire in life, through faith I can unlock close door, I now realize deeper why Jesus made this statement to his disciples..
St. Matthew 17:20
KJV: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
This is a perfect illustration, because it's very easy to profess, but it's very difficult to act, walking in faith demands patience, a perfect example is our father of faith (Abraham), many of us now enjoy the blessings of Abraham forgetting the price he had to paid (obedience), endure the difficulties, and every other pains, yet he held unto Gods word and his promises, that is the faith, what amazed me also was the fact that Abraham was called the friend of God, why? because of his faith level, he believed totally without having doubt in his heart concerning the promises of God, even when it delayed but he waited patiently.
And that was a great lesson for me, through the words of Jesus and from our father of faith (Abraham), I now asked, then what is this Faith? I was directed to this Bible passage
Hebrews 11:1
AMP: NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
When I read this I was amazed, having faith is having this firmness of mind concerning what I wish to have, even when it is not yet a reality, but still believing and hoping that it will come, although it may delay, yet i am to hold fast just like Abraham, and having that assurance and conviction, it will certainly be done.
Although to a carnal man, having faith may look foolish, but the manifestation of what we have hoped for becomes a testimony.
So having this unwavering mind comes from having a personal conviction and encounter with God and the Holy Spirit, and that is done through us purging our minds and ourselves from everything that is contrary to the will of God, because even our salvation is gotten through faith (believing), which is a gift from God, and accessing this beautiful gift demands faith.
Ephesians 2:8
KJV: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
**Benefits of Faith**
Having Redemption: As recorded in the above passage, repentance is tied down to me believing (faith) in Christ that he died and rose again, which is the foundation as far as every child of God is concerned.
Walking in the realms of possibilities: A man of faith is a man that sees possibilities in everything,
St. Matthew 17:20
KJV: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you...
And I am a living testimony of this, although my faith is not so deep, but daily pray that God increases my faith level, I believe as a child of God there should not be any trace of unbelieve in us, because faith is what we hope and believe to see, then the evidence of those things even though it's not yet seen.
So our daily prayers should be God to increase our faith, because when our faith is increased nothing shall be impossible, and we shall say to any mountain being removed and be cast into the sea, and it shall be so.
Thank you for reading to the end.
