FAITH CAPSULE: Half obedience is full failure. Half obedience does not count before God.

Genesis 6:8-22

The source of faith is stated in Romans 10:17, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Have you heard from Him about your next move? Go ahead and make your move. If he has called you, have you answered? If you have heard from Him, then you have no reason to doubt neither should there be a reason for you to exercise fear. Fear is not of God, but of the devil. Fear will sink you and not raise you. Fear is the opposite of faith and faith is all that you need to move forward in all that you have heard from God. If God sends you, He will back you up. If God calls you to move, He will equip you through in your move. God alone is more than able to see you through. If you know that He called you, ignore all the confronting challenges which are in the way of your move. “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” (Hebrews 11:7) Noah could have ignored the warning and missed the vehicle of his salvation. Noah had every justifiable reason not to move. There were enough tangible excuses for Noah not to move as commanded by God. In a region where it hardly rains in a year, how then could it flood so much that there would be a need for such a huge boat? Noah, being one who lived in that region and knew the weather pattern there, could have responded and built a smaller ark as compared to the one God called for. Noah knew the land very well and there will be no reason to move fully in obeying God. Half obedience is full failure. Half obedience does not count before God. The Bible records, “Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.” (Genesis 6:22)Are you still considering making that move? Is your moving a matter of consideration or of His calling? Counting on Him and committing it all on Him will see you through. Without faith God is not pleased. Please God with your move because it is a demonstration of faith in Him. Hebrew 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”Please God consistently and He will be consistent with you in your walk to the expected end in your life.

Prayer for today: O Lord I ask that you open the eyes and ears of my heart that I may move in your command.
