THE PROMISE OF FAITH
SCRIPTURE: For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God you might receive the promise. – Hebrews 10:36
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Where faith is absent the inheritance belonging to people eludes them.
Faith in times of delay supplies the patience to wait for your change. It is faith that makes you to say, “The vision is for an appointed time; though it tarries, I will wait for it.” It is faith that says, “Even if I fall down, I’m rising up again. If I try and fail, it must work out in the end.” It is faith that makes you keep on keeping on.
But where faith is absent, the inheritance belonging to people eludes them.
When my wife and I were growing up in ministry, many of the people we knew were driving all manner of expensive cars. Though we were both medical doctors who abandoned medical practices for full time ministry, at that early stage of our ministry, we could not afford such. And we began to wonder: “What are they doing that we are not doing? How are they doing it?” I preached out my life and tithed, but I wasn’t seeing the things I ought to see. Then people were giving all manner of testimonies about receiving gifts of cars but I did not see anything. I just calmed myself down.
But unknown to me, some of those cars were bought on hire purchase by their owners who claimed to have either received them as gifts or bought them outright with their money.
Beloved, when the harvest began to flow, it was a downpour, unending downpour. The fact is that truth will overtake lie eventually.
Remember this: Where faith is absent the inheritance belonging to people eludes them.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Decide to do everything in God’s way; if it is not God’s way, it can never have a good result.
2. Don’t envy anybody’s prosperity because you do not know how they arrived there.
PRAYER: Lord, I hope only in Your provision. Grant me the courage to maintain faith until I see results, in Jesus’ Name.
