Be Firm in Faith!!!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform.” Romans 4v19-21 (KJV)

Hallelujah! God will have us be strong in faith. Indeed there would be times where our belief in God is well tested. Sometimes as we wait for the fulfillment of His promises, it is easy for our faith to waver. We note however that it is faith that we use to resist the devil. Ephesians 6v16-17 (AMP) saying “Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one]. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.” So when our faith is down, it is very easy to become swayed, moved, and very easily affected by the enemy. “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.” (Hebrews 11v1, TLB). Romans 10v17 (KJV) says “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” As a believer, it is therefore invaluable to read, study, memorize, and meditate upon Scripture, and also to pray. Your faith is built up when you increase in your knowledge of who the God you serve is, what He likes, dislikes, His power, might, authority, holiness, righteousness, … and read about the men and women of faith that have gone on before us. Moreover, Jude 1v20 (AMP) tells us “But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;”
