BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD ACCORDINGLY!
You need to build your life on the WORD of God to enhance your quality of life by God rather than the quality built outside the WORD. Do not build your life on such qualities that makes you ACT on Presumption, or ACT in a Make-Believe, or ACT on Sentiments, or ACT on Suspicion and such likes, otherwise it’s a mere RELIGION. And God is about LIFE and GRACE and not religion. That’s the essence of the Christian Faith, life in the grace of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.
You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVAL or on Men’s APPLAUDS or SELF ASSERTIONS. For FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God to TRIUMPH and OVERCOME in your WORLDS of LIFE and GRACE Challenges or have a make-believe to suit your being.
FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD firstly. I wants you to know full well that BELIEVE is not FAITH. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL, as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS in your LIFE and GRACE journeys have not worked out as duly expected.
Life with God is not by power and might but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly right to RECEIVE from Him.
SCRIPTURES WORTH PONDERING FOR NOW:
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:22.
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART MAN BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Mark 10:9-10.
