THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Faith is accepting scriptural responsibilities in order to see Divine possibilities.
It has been confirmed that the understanding and deployment of faith is critical to living a successful and victorious life.
Now, what is faith?
Faith, for the sake of our studies today, is defined as the acceptance of scriptural responsibilities in order to see Divine possibilities.
This implies that faith is doing what you need to do in order to confirm that you believe God so He (God) would be committed to doing His part.
So, a man or woman who walks in faith is the man or woman of great discoveries in the Word.
When God told Abraham to get out of his father’s house, he believed Him and went out (Genesis 12:1-4); and God took him to the Promised Land. So, when you walk in faith, you are doing what God has asked you to do in order to prove to Him that you believe in Him, and that will make Him committed to doing what He said He would do.
It is important to note that until man plays his role, God is never obliged to play His role. In the journey of faith, there is something man must do in order for God to do what He is meant to do. If it is faith, it is a two-way process; there is something you ought to do and there is something God is expected to do. Until you know what to do and do it, faith is not yet in place.
For example, if you want to be healed, find out what God expects you to do before He can supply Divine health. If you want financial supplies, find out what God expects from you before He brings you financial supplies. If you want marital harmony, find out what God expects from you to ensure there is no crisis in your home. If you want the anointing of the Holy Spirit, find out the things you must do for the anointing to rest in you. Identify your scriptural responsibilities and carry them out, and you will see Divine possibilities.
REMEMBER THIS: Faith is accepting scriptural responsibilities in order to see Divine possibilities.
