FAITH CAPSULE: Engaging faith is to disengage back-up plan in every area of meeting challenges or needs.
2Kings 4
Describing faith is like looking into work of God because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) Faith is an engage-able force. Engaging faith is to disengage back-up plan in every area of meeting challenges or needs. Faith is heart-activated and mouth-operated. Faith is a God pleaser and it will provoke God to move on our behalf. Faith will move the hand of God if indeed it is engaged in a way God alone sees it as well engaged. God cannot be deceived and He will not fail to honor His living word of faith. When there is failure to activate and operate faith; failure will activate and operate itself whether you like it or not.
God knows our heart and He also knows when faith is activated more than we know it and is the reason why Hannah said in her prophetic prayer in 1 Samuel 2:3, “…For the LORD is the God of Knowledge; and by Him actions are weighed.” What is your action concerning your confrontation? How are you going to activate what will bring you out of your dilemma? The only and better choice is to lay it on God and watch by waiting to see how God will move on your behalf. Bible makes us to know it that, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4) It is faith to know and wait for God to act on our behalf in the face of unflinching challenge that is meant to destroy man. Truly, God who has been acting on behalf of those who wait on Him is not ready to stop and not act on behalf of those who make the choice to wait on Him.
As a believer, begin to confess positivity to your situation. Open up your eyes of faith, and begin to see victory in the place of defeat; begin to see breakthrough in the face of hindrances and also begin to see life in the place of death. Let your faith announce your wellness and not the surrounding situations. The Shunammite woman, whom Elisha spoke fruitfulness to her barrenness, had her child dead but she claimed it to be “well” The Shunammite woman maintained her heart’s activated faith and repeatedly operated faith by her mouth until she had the life of her son restored back to life by the hand of God upon Elisha. Faith is an engage able power of God to heal and to deliver.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the Spirit of faith to have its reign in your life.
