Faith commits God to effect
the changes we desire in life. Every believer must live by faith in God (Romans
1:17) (Galatians 3:11) (Hebrew 10:38). Faith is the lifestyle of a believer;
for God is a God of Faith and so should His children be.
Faith is what moves mountains and clears
oppositions and obstacles in life (Hebrew 11:31-34). Faith makes all things
possible. Salvation of a sinner is achieved through faith (Romans 10:9-10) (Ephesians
2:8-9). Practicing faith as humans could be termed as a risk; but definitely not
a reckless risk. Faith is the key to overcoming and to victories (1john 5:4).
There is no impossibility with faith (Matthew 17:20). Faith elevates a believer
to the realm of no limitations. Faith pleases God (Hebrew 11:6).
What is Faith?
Faith means the confidence of
things we hope for and being convinced of things we cannot see (Hebrew 11:1).
Faith is taking the unseen realm of Hope and bringing it to a reality. Nouah
Webbstar Dictionary defines Faith as ‘’a
simple belief of persuasion in: 1) The existence of God (hebrew11:6) 2) the character
of God 3) the doctrine or Word of God’’.
Faith is belief in the fact that God is
alive. It is a belief in the unique traits and quality of God; which is Love
(1john 4:8). Love is the greatest character of God. God is compassionate,
merciful and full of grace (psalm 145:8-9). Faith in God is an unwavering
confidence in the fact that He loves us dearly. God has loved us before we were
created (Ephesians 1:4) (Ephesians 3:17-19). Faith is a simple conviction in the
Word of God (psalm 89:34). The Word of God is what strengthens our faith as
believers (Romans 10:17).
