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 2:18-24
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
Work Justifies Faith
Faith without work is pride. Work is what differentiate Faith and Pride. Faith without work Is dead. The easiest way to kill faith is not to work. Having full faith without taking action amount to no faith at all. Your faith, believe and expectations can only be real when work is added.
Father Abraham had faith in God’s declaration, but work says, lay with your wife for Isaac to be born. The woman with the issue of blood have the faith that she will be healed by touching Jesus garment but, work says, touch the garment. Your faith in God can only be Justify by your works. Work perfect your Faith. Faith with fasting, prayers and patience can give you visions, revelations and insight but without work, your faith is a mirage.
Prove your faith with your works. Stop praying for jobs and folding your hands without doing anything. Stop having faith for a child when you will not have union with your husband. Faith doesn’t pass exams, reading is the works you need. The prove to obtain mercy of God by faith is by showing mercy to others.
_24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only._
Have a Great Day.

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.

Memory Verse: Heb. 11:1

Bible Reading: Luke 17:5-6
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” 6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Faith Is In Sizes
Christianity is in levels and faith is in sizes. You can only receive according to the level of your Faith. Your manifestation is determined by your faith level. There are many levels of Faith found in the Bible but one thing is very sure your faith will always produce result, either big or small result, no faith is unproductive.
The disciples said to Jesus _increase our Faith_ and Jesus said, it’s not a matter of the size of your faith that works. But if you want different level of manifestation increase your level of faith.
We have the Mustard Seed Faith level, Luke17:6.
We have the Little Faith level, Math 6:30, 8:26.
We have Great Faith” level, Math. 8:10, Math. 15:28 and
We have Full of Faith level, Acts 6:8.
Which ever level your faith might be, it can be increase. All you need do is to increase your intake of the word of God. Strengthen your prayer life. Work on what you listen to and your level will change.
Remember, all levels of faith works but the level of your faith determines the level of your manifestation. I see you moving to the next level of faith in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
See you tomorrow.
Have a Great Day.

Memory Verse
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” 12 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
For the past one month, we’ve been studying the book of Genesis about creation, and I know that God has unfolded His word to as many that has been following the series.
When you disappoint God, what do you do? Do you prove your case or you ask for mercy? Do you cast or accept blame? Many times, we cast blame on God for blessing us with what destroyed us; “why do you give me a car when you knew it will destroy me?” Was it God that drove the car? “Why did you lead me to marry the man/woman when you knew it won’t be okay for me?” Was God the pointer to the conflict in your marriage or your character? Adam said, It’s the woman you gave me that gave me the fruit, was the fruit forced on him? Why can’t we face the consequences of our error and ask for His mercy? Can you prove your case against God? How faithful are you to stand before God and prove your innocence?
_11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”_
Adam would have ask for mercy rather than casting blame. Are you still in the school of casting blames? Please, why not bury your pride and start asking for God’s mercy like the task collector? His Mercy supersedes Judgement. Stop proving your point and keep asking for His Mercy in order to enjoy His Grace.
May we have the humility to approach God with a contrite Heart in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
A Dust And The Breath of Life

Gen. 1:1
Many occurrences that can be averted has taken the better part of us. This is the reason, after being a victim of shame, nakedness, people begin to refer to the devil as the cause of all. The aftermath of disobeying God’s word is always terrible. I began to imagine how Adam felt when their eyes were open to know what evil was. They began to cast blame on one another. A peaceful home and garden became a place of blame, regret and rejection.
What is that sin that can take you away from the cover of Grace? What are those things that you desire more than pleasing God? They will only expose your nakedness before men. They are just for a moment but the nakedness is for a life time.
Adam and Eve realises they were just naked, after eating the fruit. It has been God who made them looks glorious all along. Likewise, your beauty, wealth, strength and all those accolades are the grace of God upon you, don’t be carried away before you realise, your nothingness. Is it drug addict, womanizing, adultery, fornication, pride, power or arrogance that is your habit? Kill it before it naked you today.
Don’t be naked before appreciating the covering of God upon your life.
