#1. Faith is sharing responsibility with God in the light of Scriptures, so as to commit Him to make good His promise: Any faith that seeks to make God absolutely responsible for the outcome of its life is an irresponsible faith. Real faith makes us take responsibility to see God in action. Until our part is played, God is not committed.
#2. Faith is the spiritual virtue that establishes partnership with the invisible God, thereby empowering us to do the impossible: It is written:
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us ? (Romans 8:31).
Every time our faith comes alive, God’s partnership with us on that issue of concern is established. So, it is our faith that establishes our partnership with God in dealing with the issues of our lives. For instance, Abraham’s faith was a partnership faith (Genesis 17:1). Every time we believe God, we remind Him of His partnership with us, thus empowering us to do the impossible (Romans 3:3-4). Also, when the Israelites believed Him by going towards the Red Sea, the sea saw them and fled. Their partnership with God made them more than conquerors.
#3. Faith is not just reaching out to God who is in heaven; faith is bringing God down to where we are: This means that we are both on the battlefield. His name is called the Omnipotent God, and with the breath of His nostrils, He will slay our enemies.
#4. Faith is putting God’s Word to work, believing: We must maintain a thought pattern that is in line with what we believe (Proverbs 23:7).
#5. Faith converts the Word into flesh: It converts the spiritual to physical and the immaterial into material (John 1:14).
#6. Faith is not just getting God to do something; it is securing God’s partnership in getting things done: As it is written: …for we are labourers together with God (1 Corinthians 3:9). It is that partnership that turns men into living wonders in the world. Faith brings us into partnership that makes us dare the undareable, speak the unspeakable and deliver the impossible.
In summary, if faith is so powerful, why then do we appear so powerless? It is because our faith is not well-rooted. Every change of level meets people suddenly, and except our faith is set, we will trash it and miss our set time. We need to build our faith or it will fail us when our lifting comes because we need a set faith to take delivery of our next levels. Therefore, we should invest in getting our faith set by tapping into the depth that God has given to those who have it. But, to get your faith set, you must be 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!
