Note this :
All human beings have faith, but not all have the spiritual engine of faith. Such people with no engine of faith are like a beautiful vehicle, which has all it takes to carry passengers, but has no engine. They need living faith or the engine.
So many move like that, confessing empty faith, which is not having the engine for action.
May God give us the engine in faith.
Faith is the substance of what is not seen.
11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb. 11 :1).
A substance is what can be touched. Faith converts our hope to substance, so we can like have the future in our hands, even now.
Abraham’s faith made him to look for a city whose Maker and Builder is God. And he got it.
Some go to church as a social gathering, they think less of eternity, such are not faithful people , no matter how they engage in activity in the church, they are not kingdom people.
James 2:18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
or a man may say to you, “You and I have faith; I have works. Show me your faith without works, and I shall show you my faith by my works.” NT Translations. (James 2: 18).
It must never be deeds only and no faith and should never be faith only and no deeds.
Faith must be demonstrated. If we can not demonstrate our faith it is dead faith. People who hope on what God can do and move doggedly for it, when odds appear every where, are indeed God’s faithful children. They will receive the substance of their Faith.
Faith without work is dead, such faith is not living faith.
Some of us claim to have faith, but have never given any helping hand to some one through faith to become a Christian.
11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11 :6).
All discussions that some people share, which end around this material world, are not faith related. The heathens share such discussions and even sin through them.
Faith converts the soul through substantiated hope.
Every human being has faith,, but not all faith have the spiritual engine. Some call such faith carnal faith, after all criminals have faith that the evil they do can be profitable to them.
Jesus said , “if you have faith small as a mustard seed, you can command the mountains to move and cast into the sea.”
This is the faith that glorifies God. The faith that can change hard things to a blessing, is genuine faith, it could be small faith, but it has result.
The saying “faith as small as a mustard seed” comes from Jesus in the Bible (Matthew 17:20, Mark 9:23, Luke 17:6), and it means that even a very small amount of genuine faith in God can produce great results.
Great faith is a gift , of course, it is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Ghost.
When people believe in the impossible things of life and they are done, we can say , “faith is at work.”
Let me come in this way to say that faith begins, when we get to the end of the road.
A man who has all the money he needs cannot talk of Faith in things that have, to do with money.
He must demonstrate his faith in something else, which he lacks badly, which solution does no come by money, but only by faith in God, who deals with impossible things.
11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Meditation
Note this and meditate,on It from today.
It should be :
“FAITH + DEEDS” AND NOT “FAITH + ZERO.”
DEEDS IN THIS RESPECT ARE RIGHTEOUS WORKS DONE IN FAITH TOWARDS GOD.
Add something to your faith.
Our faith must make something out of nothing else we have not started.
May God bless this message.
