FOCUS
In this new series we are going to be looking at faith activators. These are ingredients that makes faith to produce good report and obtain evidences in every area of life. The first we are looking at today is, Works.
Many people thinks once you have faith, you don’t need to do any other thing. No, faith has works; faith without works is dead. If you are not operating in faith that is when you can fold your hands. Faith puts responsibilities on you. Faith will place a demand on you to go extra mile and do something with what you have believed.
If you don’t faith, you will not work. It is faith that will keep you on your toes. Look at the father’s of faith, they have faith and works. Faith projects, work gives God a platform to bless. All the father’s of faith, none of them folded there hands, even Christ when He came, He had works.
Faith is not all about confession, it has works, there’s something you will do that will give God the platform to allow your faith to work. Works is an activator of faith.
LESSON
James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Faith has evidences. The Bible was talking about works, you can’t operate in the realm of faith without a solid work. Moses choose to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy pleasure for a season. So, when we are talking about works, we are talking about something that God has already planned that everyone who wants to enjoy faith must have works.
Faith doesn’t have any platform without work. Even Sarah, the Bible said she received strength to conceive. Let’s leave people who thinks confession alone will get the job done. You need to be up and doing and ensure you are connected to God by works. Jesus said; my father worketh, so I work. It is in the kingdom structure, that no one operates faith outside works. Go and work so that your faith can produce great result. Amen
PERSONAL CONFESSION Father I receive strenght to add Works to my faith so that I can obtain good reports.
PRAYER FOCUS
