“CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ACTIVE FAITH”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“He did not by lack of trust decide against God’s promises. On the contrary, by trust he was given power as he gave glory to God…….” (Romans 4:20-21)
He never stopped believing God’s promise, for he was made strong in his faith to father a child. And because he was mighty in faith and convinced that God had all the power needed to fulfill his promises, Abraham glorified God!
CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ACTIVE FAITH
It is interesting and rewarding to learn of the characteristics of Abraham’s faith.
Possession of Abraham’s faith guarantees victory, dominion, abundance, protection, power and fruitfulness in your life and ministry.
First, it is the faith that sees a thing completed before its commencement appears to human eyes. God reckons a project completed before it has begun.
Abraham acted wisely in placing his faith in this type of God and so must we. If God says you can be holy, victorious and prosperous, you’d better believe Him.
He has all the power and resources to accomplish His purpose for your life.
Secondly, it is the faith that believes in spite of visible failure. Abraham continued to believe in the face of growing improbability. Although circumstances around him pointed to inevitable impossibility, he hoped against hope.
People ask, how can I be sanctified? How can my heart be circumcised?
You can do it if you believe it in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
Thirdly, he did not allow natural weakness to cancel his faith. His faith was not weakened by the passage of time. We must not exalt natural tendencies above the promises of God. We believe God is able, though our senses say otherwise.
Fourthly, his faith was anchored in the supernatural. He kept looking at God, not the discouraging situation around him. Impotence was not a problem to him because he had his gaze on the invisible.
When God gives us the promise of healing, we should see Him as the miracle worker and rest our faith in His word.
Fifthly, his faith completely shut the door to unbelief. Faith does not entertain doubt. It has no anxiety or complaints. Abraham was absolutely persuaded in his heart.
There were no “ifs”, “buts” or “maybes” in his mind (Romans 4:20). He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.
Sixthly, his faith was based on the omnipotence of God. Abraham saw Him as the all-powerful and eternally unchanging One.
Seventhly, he hoped against hope until his desires were accomplished. These are the basics and groundwork for effective, active and victorious faith. There is nothing too hard for our God. Take every word of His seriously and you will witness tremendous blessings.
THE MOUNTAINS BEFORE YOU SHALL SURELY MOVE IN THIS SEASON IN JESUS’ NAME, AMEN!
Everybody shout, “AMEN & AMEN!”
Shalom and good morning.
