Faith is not just believing that God can do something; it is being moved to do something to prove that we believe. #4. Faith is A Living Force: It is a living force, drawn from the living Word to produce living proofs. That woman drew from Jesus, the Living Word, and a living proof was produced. Faith is not just believing that God can do something; it is being moved to do something to prove that we believe. When we are moved to act on what God commands, He is committed to perform. So, Faith is an act. For it is written:
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).
Therefore, faith is the only way to move God in our direction and the only way to stop the devil from molesting us (Ephesians 6:16).
#5. Faith is Hard Work: Faith is no cheap talk; Faith is hard work. It is written:
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief (Hebrews 4:10-11).
It requires a form of labour. We don’t wish for Faith but work at Faith. Faith does not answer to wishes; it answers to workings, that is, working with the Word of God. Whether it is conventional Faith or supernatural Faith, all forms of Faith draw from our Word bank or reservoir. The things on our inside are what Faith draws from; it has to be there before Faith can draw. The Bible says:
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17; see also 2 Peter 1:5).
#6. Faith is a Great Profession: Faith is no mere confession; it is a great profession. As it is written:
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised (Hebrews 10:23).
Profession here connotes definite skills. Thus, it requires skills to maximise its benefits (Hebrews 5:12-14).
In summary, Faith is an asset of inestimable value, an unstoppable force which taps into the omnipotence of God, quenches all the fiery darts of the devil, addresses all satanic assaults and commits the integrity of divinity. However, you cannot experience the supremacy of faith unless you are born again. Are you born again? If you are not, this is an opportunity to do so. Simply say the following
prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. Today, I accept You as my Lord and personal Saviour. Thank You Jesus for saving me! Now, I know I am born again!
