The Manifestation of Faith

December 7, 2013

. . . we can come to the Lord with perfect assurance and trust . . .
–1 John 3:21 (TLB)

The Bible teaches that faith will manifest itself in three ways. It will manifest itself in doctrine—in what you believe. It will manifest itself in worship—your communion with God and the fellowship of the church. It will manifest itself in morality—in the way you live and behave. . . . The Bible also teaches that faith does not end with trust in Christ for your salvation. Faith continues. Faith grows. It may be weak at first, but it will become stronger as you begin to read the Bible, pray, go to church, and experience God’s faithfulness in your Christian life. You will learn more and more how to rely on Christ for every need, in meeting every circumstance, and every trial.

Prayer for the day

Your Word teaches how greatly You desire for me to rely on Your love and strength. I praise Your name, my Lord and my Redeemer.

As our faith grows we permit the Holy Spirit to guide our decisions more and more. This leads to a better understanding of what God's will is for our lives.

The manifestations of your faith,a s a true Believer of Christ will be self evident to all who know and meet you.

May we each day grow to walk by faith and not by sight. Lord please help my unbelief.

Lord Jesus, The day when I receive You, as my Saviour, Holy Spirit, You are the God who build my faith, day by day, and brought me closer to God, and gave me a heart to fellowship with the Church. I have no power, to live a Christian life, without You, LORD. Holy Spirit, You are the Spirit of Faith. The day when You call me home, Holy Spirit, Keep my steps in Your paths, that my footsteps slip not. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me. My faith in You JESUS! LORD, I also pray, Let the whole earth be filled with Your glory in Jesus name, Amen!

I have recently had a life changing experience via a medical crisis. i left all in God's hands. I was never afraid, I remembered Billy Grahams words "I've read the last page of the Bible, it's all going to turn out alright"

May the glory be given to Christ, for with him he is our strength.

As our faith grows so does our daily reliance on Christ to guide us in every decision we make. Thank you Lord for your extraordinary patience and love as my faith slowly matures. Please forgive me when fail to stay faithfully focused on you in whatever trial comes my way.
