Topic: Faith Enhancers [Thursday March 2, 2017]
Scripture: For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26
Thought for The Day: Prayerlessness is a confirmation of faithlessness
In Habakkuk 2:4, we see that the just can only live by his faith. So, the matter of faith is non-negotiable. It is important to understand that faith is not something that happens without conscious effort; it is something that must be worked into manifestation (1 Thessalonians 1:3). A child of God who is not ready to work is not ready for victory in life.
Now, we are going to look at some of the factors that make faith work (Faith Enhancers).
1. Prayer: A quality prayer life is a necessity for the boosting of faith. The truth is, prayerlessness is a confirmation of faithlessness; it is a manifestation of lack of faith in the God Who answers prayer.
2. Fasting: When Jesus’ disciples could not cast out a demon, Jesus said that it was because of their unbelief; he also said, Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:14-21). So, there is a connection between belief and fasting. Fasting sponsors high spiritual sensitivity and makes spiritual signals accessible; and those signals can fuel faith.
Remember this: Prayerlessness is a confirmation of faithlessness.
