Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel
Week 10, Day 1:
Sunday, 25th February, 2024
TOPIC: WHAT IS FAITH? Received While Hoping (1)
MEMORY VERSE:
Romans 10:17.
“17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
BIBLE READING:
Hebrews 11:1.
“1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
This week you will be Stronger, Bigger and Wiser in every facet of life, result oriented in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
I welcome you to the new week that the Lord has ordained for everyone. This week, we shall be speaking on Faith in different perspectives from the Book of Hebrews. What is Faith? Faith, according to Hebrews chapter 11 and verses 1, “Is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPE FOR, EVIDENCE of things not seen”, in order words, Received while Hoping. You don’t have it yet but acting as if you had it, This is Faith. This is the first level of Faith shown by Abram. Think of it, why will a man of Seventy-Five years old just heard God for the first time in his life, after he’s father’s death, and He believed God and started walking with Him because of the promise – Genesis 12:1? Imagine a man without a child and God said, “You shall be a great Nation”- Genesis 12:2. Faith in Him – was having it before the manifestation. We don’t walk in Faith by believing in alternative, No. Faith is a total focus on God, seeing what He promised before hand.
When Abram shifted in his faith by welcoming Sarai’s idea, it took thirteen years before communication between him and God was restored, Genesis 16:15-16 – 17:1. Faith is having it before it’s arrival, holding it before receiving it. God said to Abram,
“15. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
18. Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD. – Genesis 13:15, 18
“Then Abram removed his tent” acting as if it’s received. We claim we have Faith, do we act immediately after professing the Faith-based word? What is Faith? It’s Receiving While Hoping. It’s time to act Faith and not just talk Faith.
Good Day and God bless you.
