LIVING BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT

Bible Texts: Heb.11:1-3, Hab.2:4, Rom.10:17, Heb.11:6, Mk.9:23, Rom.10:10, Rom.4:17, Gal.4:19, Jos.1:6-8, Heb.11:30-32

Yesterday, by the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit, the husbandman is encouraged to hope in God and His word inspite of the current challenges and pressures confronting him. And to help the husbandman sustain his hope in God and His word, he must walk by faith and not by sight. This is because outside of your faith in God and His word as the husbandman, you will be overwhelmed by the pressures of life, which is the reality of the time we are living in.

This is the word of the Lord for you.

The just shall live by faith……..( Hab.2:4)

The word of God did not say you must have faith alone. God is saying as the man, husband and father, you must live by faith by your confession, action and disposition. This means that you must act on what you believe from the word of God and act on them as a lifestyle because God’s word is true (Mk.9:23).

As the husbandman, every instruction God has given to you from His word is to help you become the good and godly man, husband and father. But you need bold steps of faith to access and become what the word of God says (Gal.4:19, 1Tim.5:8, 2Thess.3:10, Heb.11:6).

So, how do I walk and act by faith?

You must give attention to the word of God by studying it, thinking about what you have read (Jos.1:6-8, Rom.10:17).

You must engage the weapon of prayers and fasting (Mk.9:29).

Even God who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were (Rom.4:17)

You must keep confessing and declaring what God’s word has said and not what the circumstances are saying (Rom.10:10). This means calling into existence those things you want to see as though they have already manifested in reality (Rom.4:17).

Therefore, as you hope in God and His word, let your faith in God be alive in order for you to access your inheritances in Jesus Christ as the good and godly man, husband and father (Heb.11:6).

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

• Father, in the Name of Jesus, open my heart to Your words and help me to receive Your instructions with gladness.
• Father, in the Name of Jesus, embolden me with the Spirit of faith.
• Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me to discipline my tongue that I will only be speaking what You say and not what I see.

FAITH CONFESSION

I take bold steps of faith and act on the word of God inspite of the circumstances and pressures of life because that is my access to my inheritances in Christ Jesus as the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
