There is every tendency, that whatever we do in life, must be geard by a force, or a multiivating power, that ordinarily it looks foolish, but ends up in great result.
There is believing, there is hoping, there is seeing, there is obeying, which must bring about the making of the realization. In the Bible book of Hebrews charpter number (11:1-3). And it says that, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtain a good testimony. By faith we understand that the world were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are not seen were not made of things which are visible.
It all began from the life of our Father "NOAH" after God threw Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden, for disobeying Him, for eating the forbidden fruit, He allowed them and their children to continue living on Earth. But as more and more people lived on Earth, their wickedness grew, and the Earth was full with evil and there was little good left in people. This made God very sad and He decided to destroy all the people and creatures that He has created. The Bible says that God found favor in a man called NOAH. Noah was a good and kind man, him and his wife and family all of whom loved and worshiped God. And God told Noah, I am angry with people and their wicked ways and have decided to put an end to it. I am going to flood the Earth and destroy every living creature on it. But before that, I want you to make an ark of Cypress wood. You shall rooms in it and seal it so that water will not enter. And NOAH obeyed God and having faith in Him, he worked, so that the faith would not die.
What about our Father ABRAHAM. Whom the Bible says is the Father of all nation's, who believed God, and serve Him faithfully even without a child until a old age, he was still very faithful. After God have called him from his Father's house, to go and deell in strange land, and God have promised him to be the Father of many nation's, he never give up on God. Envetually; God fulfill His promise to him and gave him "ISAAC,; After escaping the calamity of what happened in Eden, by grace and mercy, after listening to his to sleep with his wife' s maid. And God said to him again Abraham,GO! and sacrifice your only son whom you love so much, sacrifice him to Me in the mountain that I will show you. This is where the work of the faith comes, But the Bible says that Abraham did not wave in his faith, but Cary the boy for sacrifice. And the Bible says that, as Abraham carried his hand to slay the boy. God called from Heaven and said, don't lay your hand on the boy, And said, now I know that you love your God more than anything else. Do you know, that in this our new dispensation, people don't go to church, just because their child is crying.
What about JACOB. who by fire by force, collect all that belongs to his brother ESAU, which is his right by God inheritance, who can guestion God is his doings, somebody we say, Pastor is preaching the Bible upside down NO! . God has predestined it from the beginning, saying that, the older shall serve the youger, Genesis chapter number (25:22-23). And ater fulfilling what God has said concerning his, he took the step of faith, by living his Father' s house to work out by faith, his destiny, for every man' s destiny lies on his hands. Nothing good comes easy, the Bible says, he ran to his mother's brother called LABAN. Where he face the reality of life by serving fourteen years for his love, instead of seven years, he was also decieved, but by faith, he works it out.
We are talking of faith without work is dead, What about the radical mother of MOSES who gave birth to Moses at the main and hot time of the persecution of the Isrealtes, when King Pharoh was killing all the male children of the children of Isreal, the Bible says that, there was a man in the house of Levi went and took a wife a daughter of Levi, and the woman conceived and bore a son and when she saw that the child is beautiful. She have to take a step of faith by first of all keeping the baby for three months, but when she can no longer keep the baby she took another great step of faith, by putting the baby in a basket and drop him the river bank, where Pharaoh's daughter refresh her self and put the sister to stay afar off to watch what will happen . And it happened that Pharaoh's daughter took the child, and the sister who was watching from afar ran to Pharaoh's daughter and said, should I call you one of the Hebrew woman to take care of the child for you. And the Bible says that, she went and called the mother. Faith without work is dead, and it is that same faith that moves MOSES from the enjoyment of the palace and go the Hebrew's , and that made him to kill one of the Egyptians, that makes him to run to JETHRO'S house in a strange land, where God trained him in the bush of how to cross the widernes.
When we talk of faith, we cannot forget that great achiever DAVID. The small boy who looks at the size of GOLIATH and see him as balloon that can easily be busy and face him, even when trained Armies are aftlraid to come out, because, before now, he has face bear and lion. And by that faith he has in God, that he is able to do esidigly abondantly more than what we ask, come against Golliath, saying, I come against you by the God of Isreal who's Army you defile. The Armies were there, and somebody else is coming against the man that is defiling them, not that they don't have faith in God, but they refuse to put it to work, so their faith died, even, when there is a promise to have the king,s daughter as wife. Do you know, that today also so many children of God, are acting without faith, thereby saying, give what belong to ceasar to ceasar and what belong to God to God. Making the faith of so many Christian's guestions let, and even go as far as putting their hands in things that are abomination before God. Repent Jesus Christ is coming very soon. Thank you for reading this my aticle God will surely bless you and keep you safe.
