WANT TO KNOW WHAT I MEAN BY "FAITH"?
The scripture says :" We walk by faith,not by sight"(2 corinthians 5:7-NKJV).Many saints often asked me with this same similar question:"How do you survive or how is your life as a full time minister?".Again someone last week just asked this same question to me.They all know,I am a self-supportive independent minister .I always answers them :"I WALK AND LIVE BY FAITH!"what does I mean by walking by faith? Well ..I walk by faith simply mean I always put my hope in God and let my faith,trust,belief in Abba,the Father in heaven to provide all that I ever need supernaturally ,my "tomorrow/future" though I may not see it coming yet.Hebrew says : "NOW,faith is the substance of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not yet seen"(Hebrew 11:1-NKJV).Faith is in the NOW,and thus my hope and my unseen future shall be stablish by my belief & trust in His word.For faith cometh by hearing the word of God.
I never give up my hope in the Lord,Never!AND I always believe I will receive or get what I prayed fr NOW,though I can't see His answer yet.This is walking by faith not by what we see,rather walk, contemplate,embrace and believe in God's word and promises in the Bible.Each month to me is a walk of faith..and so far He haS not forsaken me.He always send an "angel"or His messenger..as the answer to my prayer of faith.Remember how God told Elijah that He has commanded a widow in zarephath to feed him?(1 kings 17:9)Elijah obeyed and the widow obeyed God and his prophet.They both experienced the supenatural and miraculous providence when the economic situation in that land was crashing down.Everyone seem to be in scarce,in lack and their providence has run out.BUT FAITH moved both Elijah and the widow to trust in the LORD their "Jehovah Jireh".
The truth is...even if God does not supply my need in time when I expect or hope for it,I trust He will in the future.When I lack food,I go on fasting.When my bills piles up,I will be on my bended knee more often and persistently pray... touching the Father's heart to have favor on me and that I will receive His grace and mercy.
Elijah prayed earnestly and he was answered(James 5:17)NOW this is the main issue :NOT MANY HAVE FAITH TODAY AND MANY 'LACK 'FAITH TO WALK IN THE SUPERNATURAL.You may be good at teaching or telling people to put faith in God..but in reality,they are only mere good "talkers'."Faith without action is dead'says the bible..the widow of zarepath "act"in obedient by faith in God's word via the mouth of the prophet Elijah and not wavered by the things she saw and the situation that she is into.
Faith is a fact and God honor men/women's faith who act upon His word.Even satan believe God,but their action and work are evil(James 2:19).I will tell all saints who have been praying and blessing me with their "prayers & mouth blessing".STOP praying fr me and STOP blessing me with your good words now.I have had enough of receiving TOO MUCH prayers and too much mouth blessing from many saints".WHAT I need now is your ACT of faith and not simply words!
James 2:14-17 says :" What does it profit,my brethren if someone says he has faith but does not have works?Can faith save him?If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food and one of you says to them,"Depart in peace,be warmed and filled,"but you do not give them the things which are needed fr the body,what does it profit?Thus also faith by itself,if it does not have works,is dead"(NKJV)
