HE REWARDS FAITH?
Heb.11.6 - So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. [NLT]
The human race do not have problem in believing in the existentiality of viruses, bacterial, fungi, stars, atmospheric pressures, the law of gravity, believing in human reports, human philosophies and theories of humanities. Why is this so? There is however problem and challenge in believing in God and His word! The daily attack on the faith of christians on wether or not God exists from many platforms in our generation, wether or not God created the world, wether or not Jesus is the Saviour of the world, wether or not Jesus was and is God, wether or not Jesus truely died and resurrected, wether or not Jessus would be coming back again, wether or not there is life after death, wether or not marrying more than one is a breach of the sacred books, wether or not christians should engage in corrupt practices and call it the order of the day and the list is endless?
These statements and theories indicts and casts slur on the foundation on which our faith is built, Christ - the solid rock. The devil is a long term and intelligent planner who has knowledge and sometimes wisdom than most church folks, he moves subtly and comes to steal the substance of your faith. If the devil wants to destroy you, he first makes you to doubt God and His Word; His promises and prophesies about your life. It must be stated on records that our faith as Christians is built on Christ, the solid rock. Our faith has great foundation that can not be shaken by any turbulence, storm, or trouble. The 21st century Christian needs to school himself in the subject matter of faith and hold on to your faith strongly to the end, the devil is after your faith not your money, if the devil can get your faith he can get your real life. There are many church folks who are not well grounded in the scriptures and the provisions that God has made for them on daily basis in order to debank the lies and the arguments of the devil against their faith.
Faith is so crucial that we can not be saved without it, we can not please God without it, we can not receive anything from God without faith.
Faith is said to be the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen; I do not need to see but I believe, that is faith. Incontrovertibly, the scripture is our legal book that shows the roadmap of our salvation and various provisions God has for us, without knowing the scriptures, forget about your benefit!
There is a reward of faith as the text today clearly states, faith has a reward. That is to say, believing in Christ, confessing with your mouth to be saved, and laying hold on the various provision of the scriptures for your life brings life time reward. Living a righteous life rewards, living a chaste life rewards, living truthful and honest life rewards, deligence in serving God rewards, prayer is an act of faith in response to God, prayer rewards, studying the Word of God rewards, meditating on the word rewards, paying your tithe rewards, giving to God and His Kingdom rewards, sacrifice rewards. These acts of faith brings daily revival and inner strength that keeps you walking with God on daily basis. Your morning devotions rewards, your benefit will come and be evident to all. There is a point where God brings His children who have deligently responded in faith to that everyone sees and marvels, this must be God! Do not be deceived, do not be mislead, the devil has diffused so many lies into this generation! Watch Out for the 21 lies of the devil coming soon!
Be on guard, police and guard your faith with all deligence, do not joke with fellowship meetings/ your prayer meetings and Bible studies, do not replace them with anything, nothing is worth its value. God will reward your faith response, keep up the fire burning, keep eating the word, speak out your faith, take an action predicated on your faith in Him.
May the Holy Spirit reward your faith and deligent service, your service in Him is never in vain, do not give up, if you have fallen in faith, rise up again with greater strength now in Jesus name.
Watch And Pray
Good Morning
