"DEAR LORD, MY STRENGTH IS NOT ENOUGH"

Post date: Jun 8, 2018 3:47:55 AM

The only thing that will sustain you in time of increasing uncertainty and challenges is your faith in Christ Jesus and in His words. Faith in Christ will definitely see you through, it will give you hope beyond the challenges and troubles and it will keep you in His peace till your day of hope is fulfilled and you are redeemed. Your physical strength is not enough to sustain you in the days of challenges; your knowledge is not at its best when the troubles from the dark world shakes you in various ways; when such happens, there is little or nothing that you or friends or family can do to truly elevate you wholly; it is only faith in the Almighty God that has the power to keep you from falling and keep the troubles from taking you, sustaining and preserving you. On the day you were saved, God gave you two things, 1. The grace to make heaven as you continue in obedience and in faith in Him. 2. The capacity to exercise your faith. It is only through the power of your faith in God that you will be able to find the strength you need, the joy you deserve, and the victory you expect in challenging times. You were made to have victory.

Put the foundation of your faith in God’s salvation plan for you, He will ensure your protection, restoration, and security; put it in the ability and willingness of Christ to fulfill all of His promises in your life, let it never be on your thoughts or any of the words of men but on the word of God alone. It is only through your faith that the word of God is made powerful, effective, living, and able in your situation. Faith is never an illusion or magic, but power rooted in God’s words and principles and activated by your belief, actions, and trust in all situations.

Faith is not a postponed plan, or thought or action; faith is the application of God’s words in His revealed and given plans; it is thoughts and actions that are in accordance to the word of God in the scriptures. Faith is nothing else but acting on the word of God right now. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by faith the elders obtained a good report. Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:1-3. Faith has its time of application and its time of producing the result, patience is actively needed.

Faith is trusting God beyond what you can see, hear, feel touch and smell, it is believing God instead of yourself or anyone else. It is looking unto God and keeping your focus on Him in the brightest or darkest moment of your life. You may play down your words, thoughts, and strength, but never play down the strength and the expected result of your activated and elevated faith in God through Christ Jesus. Despite what people may say and do, faith is still very effective, active and produces great results in all things. These are some results of unflinching faith for you today.

“Motivated by faith he (Moses) left Egypt behind him, being un-awed and undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held staunchly to his purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible. By faith, he instituted and carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the children of Israel. Urged on by faith, the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to do the same thing they were swallowed up by the sea. Because of faith, the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed for seven days. By faith Rahab, the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who refused to believe and obey, because she had received the spies in peace. And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devouring of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts.” Hebrews 11:27-34. The power of your faith will produce the result. Click here for prayer
