Topic – Faith: The Operating system [Thursday, 4th May 2017]
(For we walk by faith, not by sight.) 2 Corinthians 5:7
For the believer, faith is not a bye-word but a very active presence. Our lives is not just a product of faith, it is also hinged on faith. God had faith that the seed of Jesus, sown in the grave, will yield billions of people to Him. He knew that men, women, boys, and girls world over will get to hear about the good news of the gospel and accept it, before sending Jesus to facilitate the salvation process. He worked by faith.
Like we have come to know, it is what is seen that is believed. God saw the result of Christ death, burial and resurrection before He sent Jesus, because He was certain that you and I and many others will accept the sacrifice of Jesus and put faith in His saving grace. Scriptures collaborate this fact in Isaiah 53:11, saying: “He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant JUSTIFY MANY; for he shall bear their iniquities.” God operates by faith. So also should you and I.
Faith sees the resultant end even before the process begins. See the resultant end of that project you are unto. See the souls that that evangelical crusade will yield. See the lives that that philanthropic venture will bless. See the wonderful grades that you will get at the end of the semester. See the victories that you will come your way. We are of the stock of Him that declares the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). And with the end in sight, our operating system – faith – is set in motion to bring us to its reality. Glory to God!
Keep winning daily.
Wise Action:
Declare the reality of the end of all that you are involve in. Speak faith-filled words. Set in motion, by the wisdom of the Spirit, plans to achieve these resultant ends.
