THE OPERATION OF FAITH
SCRIPTURE: Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;… – 1 Thessalonians 1:3.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Faith without steps is fake; it is an assumption.
The subject and operation of faith is necessary because we have so many Christians, especially Charismatics and Pentecostals, who are grossly disillusioned and disappointed because of what they thought they knew about faith or were taught regarding faith that never seems to produce results.
We need to know that faith is not just about looking at scriptures, identifying promises, and then claiming and confessing them until they happen. That is what we were taught many years ago. Unfortunately, that is not faith; faith goes beyond that.
Note this: Faith is a spiritual walk that requires the taking of definite steps. In Romans 4:12, the Bible says, ‘And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham,’
So, faith is a spiritual walk that requires definite steps. Faith is not just something that remains in your heart, not a situation where you just wish for something to happen; it is a walk that requires definite steps. So, there can be no faith without the taking of well-defined action steps. Faith without steps is fake; it is an assumption.
So, if you need a financial miracle, marital miracle or a miracle in ministry, work it out.
Remember this: Faith without steps is fake; it is an assumption.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Take the necessary actions on whatever you trust God for.
2. Refuse to be wearied out by life’s situations.

PRAYER: LORD, I receive the grace to back my faith with corresponding actions. Let everything work in my favour, O LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
