Life in general demands faith. That is, your salvation, healing, deliverance, the maintenance of blessing and your relationship with God depend on how much faith you possess. Therefore, you need to know what faith is all about. Many people believe but few are faith people. They profess to be born-again Christians whereas they are mere religious people. However, faith can only be genuine if it is based on the word of God. If the basis of your faith is shakable, then your faith will certainly be shakable. Ask yourself this question, “Is my belief based on the word of God?” When you answer this question, you will be able to realize if you are a religious or faith person.
The bible speaks of Daniel, a man who was not religious but a faith man. When the whole country of Babylon worshipped gods, he worshipped the true God. He was never shaken because his faith was based on the word of God. Even when he was offered the royal food dedicated to the idols, he rejected them. On the world we are, how many people can stand their ground? If you keep compromising your belief, that is not faith but religion.
Remember, when Jesus was tempted by satan, He stood His ground and said, “It is written…” Meaning that He was standing with God. How many of you can stand on what is written in the word despite the challenges? You may say you believe, but if the sickness persists, your confession will change.
The bible says, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? [Romans 10:13 – 15] The Holy Bible is the best Preacher. The message is the Word of Christ which brings about faith. If the word dominates your heart, you will act in accordance to the very Word.
THE GRACE OF GOD IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU.
