TOPIC: FACTS ABOUT FAITH
Memory Verse: Heb. 11:1-2
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
Bible Reading: James 1:2-4
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 KNOWING THAT THE TESTING OF YOUR FAITH PRODUCES PATIENCE. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Faith Needs Patience
_Now faith is the substance (image) of things hoped for, the evidence (Prove) of things not seen._ (personal paraphrase)
Between your faith and the image you hope for, patience is the needed vehicle for transportation. The main reason many believers backslide is not lack of faith but lack of patience with faith. Every faith needs patience. Patience is what proves your stand about your faith. Patience enhances your faith to move towards your expectations.
King David said, _”I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.”, Ps. 40:1_
‘Waited’ here means Faith. He needed to add patience to his faith before God could incline to him. Many waited on the Lord but not with Patience. Until you learn the principle of walking by Faith with Patience, you might miss the road to your manifestation. Until Father Abraham learned how to be patience in Faith, he wasn’t qualified to have isaac, all his faith (without patience) could produces was Ismael, alternative to God’s purpose for him.
Add patience to your faith. Let others go ahead of you, you are coming to catch up with them. Stop comparing yourself with others, just keep the faith on with patience. Be patience in your faith. Patience proves your faith. Your faith needs patience. Halleluyah!
Have a Great Day.
