GREAT FAITH, GREAT MIRACLE

Post date: Apr 9, 2013 4:04:25 AM

Everything that will ever involve your manifesting God’s promised glory discovered in His written or spoken word will require the development of faith in you, the continuous waiting and praying in hope. Without your faith working things out for you, you will never be able to please God. After believe, God works and deals with you through the type of faith you have. Your faith is necessary if your change to come quick and to remain.

Great faith does not look back with regret, but looks back for correction and for the grace of the cross to move forward in greater assurance. Great faith does not regret the past with bitterness, does not cry over disappointments, delays and denials; great faith does not count the cost in its adventure to get the promise but desires to count the blessing when it starts coming in; great faith is always hopeful even in contradicting evidence.

Faith justifies you before God, and great faith justifies the miracles, guarantees your peace with God, raises you from hope to reality even in the event of seeming obscurity, grants you the grace to rejoices in tribulation, to exercise patience, and transforms your outward character even when men are busy judging, condemning and shamefully treating you daily.

“Therefore, since we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God’s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God. Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.” Romans 5:1-5

Abraham did not receive the promise because he heard what God said to him, but because he also believed and acted positively on the word he heard from God for many years. Moses did not become great because he saw the fire in the forest, but because he acted faithfully on what he heard from God after seeing the fire. Noah did not survive the flood because he was able to build the ark, but because he acted faithfully to every instruction from God. Faith brings reward and great faith also brings great reward. Walking in faith is putting your believe in positive action not minding the world may say and do to you, but trusting God till your very end.   

Great faith sees tomorrow’s blessings in today’s troubling challenges and uncertainties, looks at tomorrow with hope despite the news and the reality of today, looks at the joy that will come hereafter instead of the gloom that is reigning today, it looks at the expectation instead of the disappointments, it looks at the soon expected change, the expected glory, the expected praise and of the expected fulfillment of the unfailing promises of God. Today’s faith is tomorrow’s miracle. Faith is nothings but waiting on the Lord from today till the day of the manifestation of the expected promised glory. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:1-3. Your faith in the word of God is the assurance you need for your miracles despite your location and profession.  For prayer Click here
