Faith Life


And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
- Genesis 48:21

Living a life of faith, would mean that one has made a quality decision to live trusting God, till transition. You say with absolute conviction that certain mountains would move, believing it would, no matter what. Mark 11:23.

The only way I believe faith will not work for an individual, is when he decide to try faith out. Most time it is faith that ends up trying the individual, and obviously he/she will fail.
In Hebrews 11:29
"By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying(means attempting, trying) to do were drowned."
Here we see that Moses and the Israelite stepped out in faith to cross the Red sea on a dry land, by obedience. Whereas the Egyptians tried to do same, drowned.

God is not on trial, we must make a quality decision to believe God, no matter what.
The Bible says in Hebrews 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."
It must be decisive, not a condition.
Also, in Hebrews 11:22
"By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones."
It was a concluded case with him, that the Israelite would depart from Egypt and said, when you are leaving take my bones along with you, it's settled as far as he is concerned.

Both Israel and Joseph made a statement of faith and it came to pass. Because, they believe it would come to pass.
These men have no assurance (Bible, 'the more sure word of prophecy' 2 Peter 1:19) like we do today. Once they said it, they believe it, it came to pass, because they believed God.

Faith is believing, even before we see it. As long as it is in the will of God; which is the Bible.
Isaiah 34:16,
"Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them."

Have a favored fill week, and stay blessed

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
