Faith.
The one word very person knows, even unbelievers. A word that is highly important and yet so easily misinterpreted.
Faith is what we Christians are made of, it is the foundation of our belief . We are children of Faith.
In everything that we do it requires Faith. Our very being strives in Faith.Yet even while knowing this we so easily forget it. It is so easy for us to have Faith in the world. In worldly things, such as:
Driving.
Using medicines.
Going on rides at an amusement park. Etc. ..Now maybe you might wonder,how does this fall under Faith?
you will understand when you understand the meaning of Faith. You see Faith and trust link together quite well. To have Faith in something you have to trust it and to build trust in something you have to have Faith that it will do what it must.You see Faith is believing in something that hasn't happened yet or believing in something you can't see . It rids all the carnel senses of use and forces us to fully depend on it (faith)
You see before you get Into the car your mind is already envisioning yourself driving on the road going to work on the N1 or main road. You see the car working and you are so hundred percent sure you don't even need to think twice. You don't think :
What if?
What if one of the gears won't work, or if the break won't work.
What if the car is not properly fixed and I make an accident.Another example would be the amusement park. Yes you have a few nervous jitters but that has nothing to with Faith. You trust that the guy sitting at the switch ,with the blue overall chewing gum knows what his doing ,you have faith in him that he is experienced. You don't immediately think ,what if?
You don't wear extra safety gear and have a "just in case".So if we can have Faith in a man-Filled with flaws, born in sin who doesn't even know you or even care about you to keep you from dying (just to be extreme)-how are we not able to have Faith in God?
You trust that the most untrustworthy, forgetful (me all the time) and most carnel thing of all.
Man.
Even the Bible says that God couldn't trust man. So if God could not trust man ,how more can man trust a man that was not even able to be trustworthy for God?
If Adam could not adhere to the one thing God told him not to do. How can You trust a Man to do what you expect from them .
And also so easily?
You even have Faith in something created from man. Created from the same creation that continuously makes mistakes.Yet.
You can't even have Faith in your FATHER...The one person that is perfect. Has no flaws. Your Mr right.
The all
Omnipotent
Omnipresent
Omni-(I forgot the other one)
The omni-omni God!
He knows everything and created everything.
The Bible say all things come from and through God and were created by God. The creator of all things! He knows you better than you know you!Yet we settle for Faith in dirt. Dust...
Man.And not the creator of man.
It's like going to the product and not the manufacture to seek help to fix the product. Dumb right?
Now say that to yourself. If you have been working that way.
Why is it that man so easily forgets the power of God?
Why is it thay we Christians have lost Faith in God.?
You see what's the point of praying that God must heal you if after your prayer you still lay around as if you are dying.
Faith is praying for healing and believing so, then walking around and going about your daily work because you have faith that you will be healed.
You can't pray to God but then have a plan B. "Just in case "He doesnt answer.
Ha!
Just in case!
Its a slap in Gods face. Its like giving a task to someone to do ,but Then also giving that same task to another person just in case that first guy you gave it to doesn't do it.
Then you might as well not pray at all.
God wants to help but he can't help you if you don't believe He can do it.
In this unprecedented time it is important as Christians and believers of the truth to have Faith.That is why the Bible tells us to be like children, because children have faith like a river! (I known its peace like a river)
No wonder Jesus loved children. They are so confident in Him, and know His power.
They would jump off the cliff if God promised to catch them.
They would know that God always keeps His promises.
And have Faith that even for them He wiĺl.
They love God!Do you?
Do you love God?
If you say you do, do you have Faith in Him. Do you believe that even amidst the coronavirus pandemic He can still work miracles?
Do you believe that if you ask Him to wake you up 6:00 am tomorrow morning that He wil do it?
You see, yes Faith as small as a mustard can move mountains but doubt as small as a molecule can destroy everything.
Even the smallest doubt breaks your Faith.
And that is how it is for many Christians . We pray prayers filled with doubt And expect them to be answered.
And I'm sorry to say(I am really sorry) but if you struggle to have Faith in God...
Then you don't really know Him.
You don't really have a relationship with Him.
And most of all...You don't love him.(...ya... that's sad bru)
You see if you were to truly have a relationship with God , love Him and actually know Him- you would not have issues of Faith in Him.
Because when you love someone you immediately have a great deal of trust and faith in that person. When you love someone you want to get to know them. When you love someone you want to build an inseparable relationship with them. And then through all that you grow Faith in that person. A daughter or son that loves their father dearly has utmost Faith in their parent. Why don't you have faith in your FATHER?
BUT! Okay okay let's cool things down and get your cocktail because you are about to celebrate God's Love.
Because this book is not bring to you down but to encourage you. And to help you walk with God .
So.
.
And that's why its important to have Faith because if you had Faith you would believe and know from the bottom of heart that even while struggling in Faith ,God loves you so much that He is willing to help you achieve ultimate unity and faith with Him.
That even if you are filled with doubt, if your heart truly desires to have faith in Him. He will help you and guide you. The bible says God will fufills the deepest desires of your heart (that's why be care full what you desire) so if He does that then if your desire is to grow in Faith He will grant that.
Why?
Because He is God.( that's just how He is)
And even if you are going through doubt God will always be God. He will always assist those that desire to have a relationship with Him.
Why?
I say again
Because He is God and will always be God Forever and ever! Amen.( now you can dab)That's why I tell you now my brother's and sister if you have issues of Faith go to our loving Father and He will help you.
And in doing so you will see that as your Faith grows your relationship with Him becomes unbreakable.You see Faith is an essential part of walking with God.
That is why I decided to speak about it first.
Because you cannot walk alongside someone you do not have faith in.
You cannot walk with God if you do not have faith in Him.
You will see as your Faith grows , walking with God will become easier , even if life throws you with a curveball.
You will still stand because as the Bible says you are built on a rock and that rock is our God and Saviour.I know... life is tough -especially as during this time and season.And especially as a Christian. But I need you guys to stand strong rejoice in this tribulation. Continue to love your neighbour. Grow in Faith. Keep loving God.
And most importantly :NEVER . STOP. PRAYING.( prayers is earthly license for heavenly interference)
From your sister through Christ Jesus our Saviour the Son of God .
I pray for Gods' will to be done in your life and that you grow stronger in Faith.I love you.
