TOPIC: WHAT IS FAITH? Taking Risk For God (5)
MEMORY VERSE:
Romans 10:17.
“17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Samuel 17:31-32.
”31. And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
32. And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
I decree and declare, today, none shall know shame, reproach shall be far from you, and honour shall locate you in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen
What is Faith? It’s taking Risk For God, risking things in the name of the Lord. This time, you don’t hear God speak of what to do but you decided to stand for God, to oppose reproach on His behalf. Nehemiah, the three Hebrew boys and David none of them heard God speak to them to take the risk they took but they did because they knew God worth the risk. It was faith that propelled Nehemiah to meet the king and asked for rebuilding of the collapse wall of Jerusalem, Nehemiah 2. He was a slave, how dare him speak to the king about a nation he captured and destroyed? Faith is risking it all for God. The three Hebrew boys said to the King,
17. “If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. – Daniel 3:17-18.
These are slaves who by Faith took the risk and their faith was never put to shame, your faith will bring you honour in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
David wasn’t a warrior, he was a shepherd boy who uses a stick to guide the flocks. But a time came when he took a risk on God to fight a man who has been fighting wars for years, a giant for that matter and God backed him up. When your Faith is to make God known, He backs up your faith, He fuel’s your risk and give you result. Those risk ahead of you, are they for God’s Glory or self Glory? Your risk will fail when God is secondary or not involved. Taking risk that focuses on God is Faith defined.
Good Day and God bless you.
