TOPIC: STAND OUT 4: WITH YOUR FAITH
Memory Verse: Math. 5:14
“14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
Bible Reading: Hebrew 11:8-12
“8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;
10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.”
Faith is seeing the desired result ahead of the present challenges. It’s seeing the possibility in all impossibilities. Faith means, accepting what God said against what others may say. Faith is leaving everything in God’s hand, “Father, Am In Thy Hands = FAITH.” Without faith no one can receive from God, Heb. 11:6. Your faith stands you out from the crowd.
Abram, at 75 years, was told to leave his father house and country to an unknown place by unknown God and he left, that is faith. God said he will make him a father of nations and he was close to one hundred years, still he had the faith. When he was Ninety-Nine years, God couldn’t hide anything from Abraham because of his faith in God, he revealed His plan to him, Gen. 18:17-19. Your faith can present you above others before God. By faith Abraham had Isaac, and enjoyed all the promises of God.
Faith is not the absent of challenges, troubles, difficulties or reproach, faith is the ability to walk through all opposition till one gets to the right destination, the promise of God. If you can’t walk in Faith you can’t stand out for God. If your faith is not active you won’t be differentiated among others. We walk, move, speak and act by Faith not by sight. When your faith is intact your step will always be above. Check your faith if you are not standing out, refire it and move on. God bless you.
