CLASSIC FAITH SERIES
"FAITH", quite a very crucial and need say probably the most important aspect in the Christian walk. Sometimes not fully understood and as a result not being fully utilized to its maximum potentialities and workings, hence being misconcepted when it "fails", but faith never fails, it never failed any of the patriarchs of old in the Bible, and still doesn't fail in contemporary times.
Taking a brief exposé on the origin & modus operandi of the God- kind of Faith, I'm sure it would really get you loving it more.
The first major account of "Faith" in the Bible was to Abram, who God had PROMISED a child in a very old age. Did you know that was a story of Faith? Sure you must have heard about the story, whose wife Sarai also being old equally,and had clearly passed menopause was now to have a chid in a very old age. Seeing that this was impossible, Abraham must have reasoned or thought out how such old body systems as his & Sarai's could bring forth a child. Abraham not being able to fathom or comprehend how this would happen had to look beyond the PROMISE of the child and to the ONE who promised the child, because he definitely knew a child couldn't come forth humanly from He & Sarah. There'd have to be a divine touch for them to have a child at that age because the Bible clearly says that he considered not HIS OWN BODY NOW DEAD nor the DEADNESS OF SARAH's WOMB(Rom 4:19).
That's the first dimension to Faith, Faith lifts your sight from the promise to the one who made the promise. Faith is blind to the circumstance and open sighted to the change desired. Abraham must have doubted the promise because the Bible says God had to help his vision by showing him the stars, the sand, changing his name, to help him see what God was saying but it's possible even though God must have shown him(Abraham) all those pictures, he mostly might not have believed, but knowing that HE who made those promises was God, it must have helped him see the reality & possibility of the pictures, because to him, as long as He(God) that made the promise still lives,the promise should definitely live on too.
That's the second thing, faith helps you see the everlasting & never-dying nature of God...and knowing God never dies,your Faith should never die as well.
In addition to these, all the while God had given this promise of a child to Abram(Abraham), imagine Abraham from time to time being asked by his friends, and relatives on why not "adopting" a child or what he thought about his "childlessness" and Abraham said "I'm going to have a child soon", and they laughed him to scorn thinking now he has gone nuts in addition to his childlessness, and from time to time they kept asking him and he kept saying he's going to have a child, he said it at 90 years old,nothing happened, he said it at 93 years old nothing had still happened,95 nothing still happened, imagine saying this every year before 100 years old when he had the child, and everyone had gotten tired of hearing his "vain" confessions until the child came,and now they had the last laugh, little wonder they had to name him "Laughter" amongst many names.
That's the third thing I'd point out , Faith brings a particular confession till its manifestation, Faith does not make different confessions.
So, why don't you try these 3 easy Spirit techniques and approaches to your Faith, add some classic touch to your faith & get your desired results.
We'd take a look at another steward of Faith in the next volume. Thank you.
