TOPIC:  FAITH IS BELEIVING AND ACTING ON THE WORD OF GOD
AUGUST Thursday 30th

TEXT: Romans 1:16-17

KEY VERSE: Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10: 38

Faith is to be understood in two respects. The first aspect refers to teachings delivered to the church which is the whole bible. Revelation of divine truth delivered unto us. Teachings on repentance, salvation, restitution, sanctification, baptism in Holy Ghost, prayer etc. Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The second aspect of faith is active faith, which makes you contact God for His blessing, miracle and power that you might receive the desires of your heart. It is active faith that connects a sinner to God to receive salvation, that connects the sick to receive healing and that connects the dying to receive life. Hebrews 11:1-3, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Faith is agreeing with the word of God, believing the word and acting on it. Peter believed the word, acted on it and walked on water. Peter believed, acted on the word and caught boat-sinking haul of fishes. After acting on the word you wait patiently for the outcome like the farmer who patiently waits for harvest time. With faith, result could be immediate as Peter caught great multitude of fish or later as Abraham waited 25 years to receive the child of promise.  Faith is based on righteousness. The righteous shall live by faith. Anything done without faith is sin. Hebrews 11:4, “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.”

Thought for the day: Believe God that it may be well with you.   
Song for the day:   Believe it shall be well, believe in Jesus it shall be well
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 142-144; 1 Corinthians 10:14-33. #Horemow.

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
