FAITH CAPSULE: Be prayerfully violent to reverse the irreversible situation in your life.
Daniel 3
A faithful one can be prayerfully violent against a challenging situation in position as an irreversible situation.
Matthew 11:12 testifies to violent faith, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” At times, the irreversible situation in life will only respond to become reversed for good when violent faith takes charge.
It is understanding in faith that will make one know that Jesus is from the tribe of Judah lion as a result one is a lion by spirit.
Genesis 49:9 said it, “Judah is a lion’s whelp (offspring)…”
Lion in MAN must be stirred up to confront the irreversible situation.
Lion’s nature is violent; Lions do not travail but prevail; Lion is a symbol of dominion-breakthrough with boldness and character.
With the expectation for a challenging situation to become reversed from irreversible, do not be gentle but activate the lion character in you.
CHARACTERS OF VIOLENT FAITH
Spiritually resolute:
By faith, we are to be unbending and never give up on any revealed truth.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego (three friends of Daniel) refused to serve Nebuchadnezzar gods or worship the gold image. The three friends of Daniel were unbending but face the judgment to die in a fiery furnace of fire. The friends came out of the fire ordered by Nebuchadnezzar with no scratch but were promoted in the land by Nebuchadnezzar. (Daniel 3) Violent faith will not fail but will prevail as the three friends of Daniel quenched the ordered evil fire of Nebuchadnezzar.
Confidently restful:
Violent faith, a Lion character will not turn away from the irreversible situation. Proverbs 30:30 records, “A lion, which is mighty among beasts, and does not turn away from any.” The lion is absolute self-defence. Jesus sleeping in the storm testifies confident rest. Mark 4:37-39 records, “And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” With understanding the word of God, having a confident rest in times of a challenging situation is the evidence of a violent character.
One with faith is full by the word of God.
One that is full by the word of God is one that is faithful living by the word of God, answering as a believer.
A faithful believer should be with the identity of boldness and character, that is in Jesus the Lion of Judah.
Be full by the word of God, possess boldness and character a winning combination.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to live life by His word to answer as a believer.
